APG Highlights Runway Analysis, Dynamic Curtailment
Aircraft Performance Group’s iPreFlight iOS app helps aircraft operators meet safety requirements.

Aircraft Performance Group (APG) is exhibiting at ABACE 2017 in its ongoing effort to educate pilots and aircraft operators about runway analysis and takeoff performance, as well as the importance of considering “dynamic curtailment” in weight-and-balance calculations.

Runway analysis and dynamic curtailment are both features available in APG’s iPreFlight iOS app, and ABACE visitors can view demonstrations of the software at APG’s booth (P135). Runway analysis allows operators to fly with a maximum payload while meeting safety requirements in case of loss of one engine after takeoff. Dynamic curtailment also maximizes payload while calculating the effects of fuel and fluid consumption, passenger movement and other changes in weight-and-balance during flight.
