Check Airplane Descent Calculator ProSuppose you are flying at 10.000 feet and need to descend to 2.000 feet. Where do you begin the descent?
Airplane Descent Calculator Lite allows you to calculate the distance in which the plane should begin the descent to get the target altitude, for a specific descent rate (vertical speed) and ground speed (horizontal speed).
Many times during an aircraft flight, true ground speed differs from precomputed ground speed, so, during the flight is necessary to calculate how far we need to begin the descent. To avoid needing to go down at 3.000 feet/minute in a Cessna 150, to descend from the current altitude to runway or circuit altitude.
This App is Free, has No Ads, and no special permissions needed.
You can also check Airplane Descent Calculator Pro which allows to:
- Calculate the distance to begin the descent for a specific descent rate.
- Calculate the descent rate to get a specific altitude from your current distance.
- Automatically get current Altitude and ground speed from GPS.
- Support Multiple Units:
Knot, km/h, Sm/h (mi/h), meters, feet, feet/min, mtr/sec, NM, Km, Sm (mi).
NOTE: This application is NOT certified for Real Flight. If you use it, it is at your own risk and responsibility !!!

Suponga que está volando a 10.000 pies y necesita descender a 2.000 pies. A que distancia comienza el descenso?
Airplane Descent Calculator Lite le permite calcular la distancia en la que el avión debe comenzar el descenso para obtener la altitud deseada, con relación a una tasa de descenso específica (velocidad vertical), y velocidad respecto al suelo (velocidad horizontal).
Muchas veces durante el vuelo de un avión, la velocidad real respecto al suelo difiere de la velocidad respecto al suelo precalculada, por lo que, durante el vuelo, es necesario calcular cuan lejos necesitamos comenzar el descenso. Para evitar tener que bajar a 3.000 pies/minuto en un Cessna 150, para descender de la altitud actual a la altitud de pista o de circuito.
Esta aplicación es gratuita, no tiene anuncios y no se necesitan permisos especiales.
También puedes consultar Airplane Descent Calculator Pro que permite:
- Calcular la distancia donde comenzar el descenso para un régimen de descenso específico.
- Calcular la tasa de descenso para obtener una altitud específica desde su posicón actual.
- Obtenner automáticamente la altitud y la velocidad actual respecto al suelo desde el GPS.
- Soporte para multiples unidades de medida:
Nudo, km/h, Sm/h (mi/h), metros, pies, pies/min, metros/seg, NM, Km, Sm (mi)
NOTA: Esta aplicación NO se encuentra certificada para Vuelo Real. ¡¡¡Si lo usa, es bajo su propio riesgo y responsabilidad !!!

Followup: thanks for the reply but it is $4.99 us, not $3.99 as dev says. Maybe Play store is adding a dollar... I can send you my transaction report. The "upgrade to pro" says $3.99. Click on the link and you're then taken to a $4.99 full app page :/

Getting irritated at opening the app to an ad to upgrade. I would if i felt the price was reasonable, but it's not, imo so the ad is beginning intrusive to me.

If you struggle to work out when you should descent look no further this app is so easy to use and works out exactly when you should start your decend. I've been looking so long for an app like this thank you

Been using the Lite version in conjunction with Infinite Flight (sim) really nice to quickly get ToD calculations on the fly. Nice work dev.

Great job, this app is helpful and reduces the time of calculating so you can focus on other tasks

A little too simple. Slope angle as a input or calculated value would be a useful addition.

Does not have angle of descent in computation. Not good for jets.

So far only tried from the comfort of my home but after a couple uses it is becoming intuitive. Will be a good tool.
