This PC-12 Weight & Balance and Performance Calculator (PC-12 Calculator) is a pilot assistance tool for verification of the weight and balance of the Pilatus PC-12 and the calculation of take-off, cruise and landing performance. The PC-12 Calculator covers the PC-12/41, PC-12/45, PC-12/47 and PC-12/47E (NG and NGX) and shall only be used upon verification of the specific aircraft, which must comply with the version selected in the PC-12 Calculator. A crosswind calculator is also included in the app. The PC-12 Calculator is for plausibility checks regarding aircraft data only. The use of this PC-12 Calculator is solely under the responsibility of the pilot/operator.
What strange user interface
It is impossible to change data points. I put some dummy figures to get a feel of the app. Now I can’t change them to real values. Very poorly defined program. Delete and reinstall as the option.
No pull Down abilities
Thanks for getting this app 60% there but the time and errors can get reduced once you guys get it to pull live data and airport information to auto populate most of the input information. Would also like to see the 45 fuselage with the 67P up front as an option
Great quick reference
This is a great preflight planning tool as well as a quick reference in the cockpit. I would like to see it include data for landings in pusher-ice mode though. Overall solid app for anyone who flys the PC-12 regularly.
DO
This app is essentially useless. Inadequate instructions on how to get past the first page. Designed by an engineer who knows little about the demands of flying and importance of timely inputs. Half assed attempt to be useful and I know this is cruel, but please find someone to fix this and make it easy to use.
Not a flight manual!
I was hoping to have a digital and maybe somewhat interactive POH to have on my phone/iPad to study, however, this is essentially not much more than any e6b app you can download just already configured for the PC-12. I'm not saying it's a terrible app, it's just borderline useless IMHO, and doesn't have any of the information in it I was hoping for.
Still useless.
Freezes when trying to input aircraft data. Currently using ipad 4 with IOS7. I couldn't get it to work on IOS6 either.
Crashes
When customizing interior the app freezes up. Forcing a close disables the app from further use. (Automatically closes itself before I'm able to accept the warning page.) Only way to get the app working again is to delete and then re-install the app. (I am using the iPad mini with iOS 6.1.3) this app is very useful when it works (5 stars)
This update contains a correction to the ACS Inhibit Takeoff Performance calculation procedure for the PC-12 NG.
