One important calculation I am missing is take-off and landing distance. Maybe consider using the METAR inputs for density altitude etc.

I don't think this is going to be in the cards. The most important reason would be liability and usefulness. There are far too many variables (like, e.g., local wind, slope of the runway, grass vs. asphalt, etc.) which would render any attempt on behalf of SD to calculate a t/o or landing distance pretty useless. And beware of the pilot who trusts the number, takes off and winds up in the bushes.

maybe you are right... but it is possible. just check that out: https://iduna-fly.com/
