In our flightclub we still use a paper based weight & balance, based on an excel sheet, as the standard (not everyone has skydemon...yet)

One of the reasons is that the sheet also calculates required runway length for take-off and landing. The calculation of density altitude is part of the requirement

Especially with the hot weather of the past months, this has proven very helpfull.

So I could see a use, but mainly by enhancing the weight&balance functionality to include Performance calculation for take-off and landing. You would then have to add a tab to the Aircraft properties that holds the performance data for take-off and landing in ISA conditions as per the POH.

We would only implement this if many customers wanted it, so we look forward to seeing how this thread progresses. You may also wish to expand on exactly why the feature is "very useful".

Hi

Easy-VFR calculate the density altitude for every airfield. Could you implement this very useful feature in Skydemon too?
Thank you.
