iPreflight Genesis:Smart Runway Analysis

If you've recently stepped up to the jet world you probably haven't heard of the iPreflight app or even APG, but there's a deep company history that dates back to 1981. APG's founders operated Aircraft Performance Unlimited, an engineering firm that catered to the airline dispatch industry and ultimately grew to support over 65 airlines around the world with an integrated dispatch system. That company was purchased in 1995 by Jeppesen, which integrated the APU dispatch program into its own service menu.

Step into the world of owner-flown jet ops and you’ll be crunching runway performance calculations in far greater detail than you did in a piston single. The same goes for figuring maximum takeoff and landing weights and cabin loading.

Colorado-based Aircraft Performance Group has been catering to flight crews and dispatchers with its iPreflight app for iOS for a while, but the app lacked the full-function flight planning capability that pilots expect in every aviation app. The new iPreflight Genesis app does just that and intuitively blends preflight planning with its in-depth runway analysis, weight and balance and custom engine-out procedures utilities. Here’s a look at the app’s capabilities and feature set.
