DA40 180 3.4

The Gyronimo Performance Pad for the Diamond DA40 180 represents a sophisticated tool for pilots seeking to streamline their mass and balance calculations, as well as overall performance planning.

This electronic flight bag (EFB) computer allows users to calculate and interpolate crucial performance data directly from the Diamond DA40 180 Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH). The user-friendly interface facilitates rapid completion of comprehensive flight planning, significantly reducing the time required for preparation.

Performance results are updated instantly, presented in high-resolution graphics, which enhances clarity and understanding. Key values can be adjusted easily using sliders, making it straightforward to experiment with different scenarios and outcomes.

Key features of the Performance Pad include:

1. Mass & Balance Page:

   This page facilitates the calculation of the center of gravity, moments, takeoff mass, and zero fuel mass. Users can quickly enter passenger and baggage weights using sliders. Three graphical displays provide insights into whether the center of gravity is within acceptable limits:

   • Moment Envelope
   • CG Envelope
   • Aircraft Axis

   A comprehensive load manifest can also be generated and sent via email for verification purposes.

2. Takeoff Page:

   The application employs actual data from the Operating Handbook to compute ground roll and landing distance based on various factors such as aircraft mass, takeoff elevation, outside air temperature, altimeter setting, runway conditions, slope, and wind conditions. A dedicated wind components computer allows users to calculate headwind or tailwind effects efficiently.

3. Climb Page:

   This section calculates required time, fuel consumption, and distance based on takeoff elevation versus intended flight level. Additional variables such as altimeter setting and wind components are taken into account to display rate of climb and climb speed.

4. Cruise Page:
5. Landing Page:

   This page configures ground roll and landing distance metrics by incorporating wind components similarly to the takeoff page.

6. Load/Save Functionality:

   This feature enables users to save and load up to five distinct aircraft settings or scenarios for future use.

7. Setup Page:

   A collection of tutorials and video manuals is available through the integrated video channel to assist users in maximizing their experience with the software.

The Performance Pad is compatible with iPad 2 and iPad 3 (iOS 6 recommended). It is essential to note that the author disclaims any liability for direct or indirect losses or damages associated with this software's use. The information provided is intended solely for general information purposes.
