Takeoff Distances

[Brian Metcalf]

Does anybody else have issues with the takeoff distance calculations?  

0' pressure alt, 30°C, 2200lbs and 0kts wind gives me 760 roll and 1335 over 50' obstical

0' pressure alt, 30°C, 2197lbs and 0kts wind gives me 946 roll and 1700 over 50' obstical

Something seems off with the calculations.

Let me ask a question first, what should the T/O roll distance be and the distance to clear the mythical 50ft obstacle in your examples?

The data for 2200lbs is correct to the performance data in the POH.  I would think the 2197lb info being only 3lbs different should be very close to 760 and 1335 instead of being vastly different...

I used the C172S to create the profile for my aircraft and added the custom numbers from my POH into the system.

Please send your database file and will check

Are you talking about my POH or a database file from AvareX?

[Apps4av Support]

The database file which appears under documents as user data. If you are using the default aircraft then you don't need to and I can look. But if you have customized it then I need the database

I attached the database file.  Let me know if you need anything else.

As I play with it some more, I've added the full POH numbers for all altitudes and temps available (uploaded new user.db).  If I only have 1 of 2  not match the table I get a result I expect.  If I make more than 1 not match the table numbers I get an unexpected result.
