Answers to common questions. If yours is not here, write to us.

How do I enter numbers and read results?

Tap a field, type on the in-app keypad, then tap Done. The result is the largest number on the screen and updates as you type. The app remembers your last values.

How is crosswind read?

Enter the runway number, the direction the wind blows from and the wind speed. Headwind and crosswind appear as large numbers, and the arrow tells you whether the crosswind comes from the left or the right. The dial shows the wind relative to the runway, with the runway pointing up.

How do I add and edit an aircraft profile?

Open the Aircraft tab and tap the plus button or Add aircraft. Fill in the name, registration, empty weight and arm, maximum weight, stations, envelope points, fuel type and burn. Tap a profile to edit it.

What does the CG envelope show?

The chart shows the permitted weight and CG area for the profile. A dot marks the takeoff point and a diamond marks the landing point after the trip fuel burn. Both should sit inside the outline. The N172SP profile is a sample, so replace it with the values from your own AFM/POH.

How do I back up and restore on a new phone?

On the old phone open Settings, Backup, and save the JSON file where you choose. On the new phone open Settings, Backup, Restore from file and pick that file. Backup and restore is always free.

How do I restore Pro?

Open the Pro screen, tap Restore Purchases and use the same Apple Account you bought it with.

What is free and what is Pro?

Free: Time, Speed, Distance, Fuel and Crosswind. Pro: Wind Triangle, Density Altitude + TAS, Weight & Balance with saved aircraft profiles, Descent and the Unit Converter. Pro is one purchase, not a subscription.

Why are the units different on my phone?

Units follow your region: kt or km/h, nm or km, ft or m, lb or kg, US gal, L or imp gal, hPa or inHg. Change them any time in Settings.

Can I use it for flight operations?

No. Crab Angle is not for flight operations. Verify with the AFM/POH.

How do I delete my data?

Delete a profile inside the app, or delete the app to remove everything it stores.
