Anyone else fancy a take off/landing distance calculator in SD? Most of ac, airfield and weather data is already there so only need to add ac specific performance distance data. Would be particularly useful for diversions - is nearest airfield long enough to get into - and out of!

Chris has summed up perfectly the various reasons we haven't done this.

As a new by PPL with only Cessna152 experience I had only looked at the simple tables in that type's POH. Clearly other more complex types present bigger problems. I am not sure I buy the "liability" issue though, the splash screen clearly absolves SD of liability arising from use of SD. If it did not the Weight and Balance calculations would pose the same risk ax a t/o distance calculator
Thanks for debate anyway. Back to the paper tables !
Still think SD is a fantastic aid to safe GA flying!
