First-to-market with a tightly integrated, stand-alone iPad mobile app that combines robust, international flight planning, runway analysis, and weight and balance calculations, Aircraft Performance Group (APG), has introduced iPreFlight Genesis at the National Business Aviation Association's (NBAA) annual trade show and exhibition in Orlando.

With a few simple inputs, pilots and dispatchers using iPreFlight Genesis can perform all flight planning calculations including: selecting desired the route from multiple route options, changing flight profiles, SID/STAR selection, alternate designations and flight plan filing. All runway analysis calculations are automatically generated for departure, arrival and emergency returns. Even special engine-out departure procedures (EOPs) are available to maximize allowable takeoff weights. Weight and balance calculations are made automatically as well based on passenger/cargo load, flight plan specifics and runway analysis limit weights. All computations can be made using current/forecast weather (TAF, METAR) or using APG's proprietary historical weather database.

Developed by aviation industry professionals with years of experience, iPreFlight Genesis delivers highly integrated functionality through a reconfigured mobile interface that is easy to understand and even easier to use. With support for numerous regulatory agency requirements, more than 350 supported aircraft types and 24/7 technical support, iPreFlight Genesis makes flight planning effortless.

“We were frequently asked by customers when we were going to add flight planning to iPreFlight,” explained Mike Caflisch, CEO of APG. “With the launch of iPreFlight Genesis we've answered the call and delivered a truly remarkable mobile app that will greatly enhance the flight planning process and user experience.

“APG has been providing flight operations engineering support services to pilots, dispatchers, and business and commercial aircraft operators for nearly 20 years,” Caflisch added. “As we continue to drive safety, compliance, and operational efficiency into the industry, iPreFlight Genesis sets a new standard for flight support with a mobile app."
