Density altitude app
I use Garmin Pilot and would like to know if anyone can suggest a free app that uses an electronic calculator to figure the T/O and landing distances based on our DA40's performance and density altitude that I can plug in for different situations?

Re: Density altitude app
I use an app, but I think it cost $4. I don't understand the desire for a free app for something like this. I want the developers to make money and I sure don't want to look at ads while I am pre-flighting.

Re: Density altitude app
I use an iOS app called Gyronimo for the DA40. Very pleased with W&B and Perf Charts and I love how the calculations are overlayed atop actual charts from the manual. It was a few bucks but worth it. I’m happy to support creative software developers.
You will like the App.

ForeFlight Performance Plus. Not free, but calculates everything for every flight.

Re: Density altitude app
Gyronimo was the one I have as well.

Re: Density altitude app
Thought I'd check out the Gyronimo app (Flight Pad). I find it seriously buggy and it doesn't quite show as depicted. I'll probably battle with it some more but am not optimistic.

Re: Density altitude app
Colin, you make a valid point. Adam, after seeing your sim, I respect your opinion. And Rich, look forward to your review. Am thinking about giving it a try. Rich, I enjoyed your story of BUZZING the tourists on the mountain top!

Re: Density altitude app
I have Gyronimo as well, on my iPad Mini. I find the W&B calculator on ForeFlight easier to use.

Re: Density altitude app
Maybe I'm dense but I haven't been able to get it to show calculations for TO distance and climb rate based on flight conditions.
