Good morning,

would it be possible to add the calculation of takeoff distance (in addition to weight and balance) to Skydemon ?
A model could be this slide rule ("T.O.P. Comp" brand):

which can be bought here:

many thanks and best regards

Daniel

Hello,
from my point of view it would be really very helpful to have such a tool. The takeoff and landing calculations have to be done by a pilot anyway. And so, he/she needs to know how to do it and it is not a argument to say, that it is to complicated. The tool does not have to do everything automatically. For me it would be enough to have a sheet for each runway (start, landing, alternate) that contains all the known data. toda, tora, exp. temperature, runway surface. .... And then some free input fields, where the pilot can enter the base runway from operating handbbook and some additional offsets. And then skydeamon calculates evrything together and prepares a sheet, that can be printed out.

Today I do it exactly the same way in excel. But this is some effort, to collect the data.

So I would really support this request.
