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

I can fully understand the reluctance to incorporate a calculator due to the given reasons. This is the one thing I always do by hand with the use of the POH when flying to an airfield where this could be critical (short runway, hot & high, etc.). The problem I have is where to put this manually calculated number. It would be great if SD would at least have a text field where we could manually enter the calculated TO / LDG distance so it is logged / printed in our pilot log.
