CFI Tools Weight and Balance
-----------------------------------

PURPOSE: The Weight & Balance App is used to save weight & balance information for an unlimited number of airplanes in a simple format for easy reference.

When you fly many airplanes it can be difficult to keep track of the weight & balance for each one. But of course it is critical to perform these calculations before each flight and to verify the results.

Android is a terrific platform for keeping this information.

This App makes it simple to maintain this information for a fleet of training airplanes or even for a single airplane.

Check out the screenshots to see how simple this process can be.

The W&B data is fully customizable. You can enter the specific data for your airplane. There is no limit on the number of stations.

Various manufacturers use different methods to calculate the CG and this App supports a number of methods. The CG can be plotted in inches, or in total moment.

The CG is plotted with both full and empty fuel so you can see the range of CG's that may be experienced during the flight.

Also shown is the "Excess Capacity" - the difference between current weight and Max Gross. This is a number I often need to know if a student wants to bring a passenger along for the flight.

The Moment Arms and the Envelope are fully updatable and can be customized to fit your airplane's numbers.

CAUTION! Please consult your Pilot's Operating Handbook or Approved Flight Manual for complete Weight & Balance Information

DO NOT! rely on the generic W&B information provided here.

I'm a Pilot and a CFII. I build these Apps and other software for my own use.

Some other pilots saw them and said "Hey you should sell those".

So here they are for sale. I hope you enjoy them. Any suggestions for improvement or new apps are always welcomed. Have a good flight.

CFI Tools Area Weather - AreaWx
-----------------------------------
PURPOSE: The Area Weather App is used to view METARs and TAFs plotted on a color-coded map or in a simple text table or in raw format. The weather is displayed for all METAR stations within the specified area.

The area is defined by a METAR station and a radius around the station.

METARs on a Map  
-----------------
The METAR data is displayed on a map that adjusts based on the size of the area. The METARs are colored coded based on the aviation flight category (VFR, MVFR, IFR, LIFR) for the station. The color coding and placement on the map gives a good quick overview of the current weather in the area.

METARs in a Table  
-------------------
The METAR data may also be displayed in a table that allows more detailed viewing for stations in the area.

The stations are sorted based on their distance from the base station. Tap any station in the table to see the complete raw data for the METAR and if available TAF.

How it works
-------------
Touch the Menu button to define the Area.
The Area is defined by entering the ICAO identifier for the station. There is a fast search function that

allows search by ID, airport name or city. After a station is chosen simply enter the radius preference.

An internet connection is required to get the METAR data.

Preferences
----------------
You can have the App start-up on either the Map screen, the Stations screen or the Raw data screen.
Measurement units for Wind speed, Temperature and Distance can be set on the Options Tab.

Airports in the Database
--------------------------
PLEASE NOTE: The source of the METARs used in this App is the NOAA National Weather Service Aviation Weather Center. It can be found here:
http://aviationweather.gov/adds/metars/

If the METAR station can not be found on this site, it will not be in the App.

The database used in the App contains over 4,000 worldwide airports.

Please Note
-------------
This App has been thoroughly tested with METAR information from around the world. However  I want to emphasize the need to verify this data.

One thing that you may not realize is that METAR data may be entered by hand. That means that it is possible that there could be typos or simply some added information that is not expected by the software. This added information could cause unpredictable results and the user should be alert to this possibility.

PURPOSE: The Crosswind App is used to calculate the crosswind and headwind components of the

wind relative to a given runway heading.
It's a simple tool used to explain a complex topic.

HOW TO USE the Crosswind Calculator:

- Select the Runway
- Select the Wind Direction- Select the Wind Speed
