Hi Mark,

No there’s no shipping costs, it’s just an electronic download.

There’s no reason it shouldn’t work worldwide. Just enter your waypoints using North and East as positive.

Steve.

Distance unit is nautical miles, and speed unit is knots – ie nautical miles per hour. Standard in the UK and USA etc.

However, on the “lite” version it shouldn’t make any difference what units you use. So long as you are consistent, the answer that comes out will be in the same units as the values you entered.

The “pro” version calculates distances in nautical miles, but I can easily change that to work in kilometres if you would prefer.

Hi Steve,
just made some calculations…so the question which units are you using? We in GY are thinking mostly in meter/km etc.

The spreadsheets for both the R22 and R44 have been updated. The layout is now cleaner than ever, with all the lookup tables moved out onto a separate page. The drop-down aircraft-selection list now updates automatically as you add more aircraft to the data table, and there’s no more fiddly locking/unlocking to update the values.

Just directly type in the details of your aircraft, and you’re good to go in seconds!

Hi Gary,

To change the contents of the drop down list, you need to select it
and then go to the Data Validation tab.

Thanks for your interest!

Steve.

Hi Jim,

Many thanks for your interest.

The pressure altitude and temperature boxes are used to calculate the density altitude. Simply enter your current pressure altitude in feet and the ambient temperature in degrees Celsius, and it will tell you your current density altitude. It doesn’t do anything with this figure, it’s just there to give you a heads up regarding performance in case your density altitude is higher than you think!

If you would like a version that does the calculation using degrees Fahrenheit, I’ll make the conversion and get back to you with a new spreadsheet.

Thanks again. If you need any further help, just ask!

Steve.

This is so well done! I am a Robinson pilot and will donate to your software as well tell other about it.
Can you please tell me how to use the Alt. and temp feature? It gives a 3 digit negative number when I enter
the pressure alt and the outside air temp.

Thank you again,

Jim
