This is a brief introduction about our new universal weight & balance and performance app Flight Pad. If you have already downloaded the app we recommend to watch this video to get familiar with Flight Pad.

Short Introduction

Avoid hot starts and make yourself familiar with the startup process of the Robinson R66 turbine helicopter. 

Tim Tucker, Robinson Helicopter Company’s Chief Instructor and Claus Richter founder of Gyronimo, LLC have teamed together to produce a series of new performance apps for the Robinson R22, R44 and R66. These new apps build on the already popular Robinson apps developed by Gyronimo but add the insights and knowledge of Robinson’s well known Chief Instructor. Each app includes not only weight & balance and navigation calculations, but also all critical performance calculations such as Manifold Pressure, Vne and IGE/OGE limits.
