New Advanced Aircraft Performance

Written by Nick Barron | Mar 28, 2014 1:22:00 PM

For Business Members

It has taken almost 12 months of development and testing but we are ready to launch our new Aircraft Performance Module. We have developed this module from the ground up. Users can enter their complete POH, create up to 6 power settings for each stage of flight, edit and adjust performance settings by unique aircraft.

We want to thank all our test users who have provided input, testing feedback and suggestions for improvement.

The RocketRoute team are available to help members upload their data and to answer questions. Email support@rocketroute.com.

Too Heavy?

The new performance module lets jet and turbo prop operators accurately plan their fuel needs for every flight. Set a target cruise FL based on mass, fuel and weather and by adjusting power settings.
