Aircraft Performance Group (APG) has added a standard instrument departure (SID) analyzer to its iPreFlight Genesis flight planning and performance calculation software.

The SID analyzer integrates with APG’s runway analysis and TERPS/PAN-OPS compliance checks, allowing pilots and dispatchers to ensure “compliance with TERPS/PAN-OPS while maintaining the safety of APG’s existing runway analysis calculations,” according to APG.

“Before SID analyzer, meeting rigorous climb requirements for SIDs was left to ‘best judgment.’” With the SID analyzer, the departure process is simpler and it also reduces “the need for engine-out procedure briefings.” Pilots can also toggle between all-engines operating and one-engine inoperative calculations “to meet TERPS/PAN-OPS climb requirements, ensuring compliance and safety.”

The iPreFlight Genesis software is available in a Pro version for the web and iPad that includes worldwide flight planning, runway analysis, and a weight-and-balance calculator. Flight planning is fully Eurocontrol-compliant and can be customized to avoid specific areas—for example, regions where pilots should fly well away from military operations.

APG’s software supports more than 350 aircraft types. The Navigator version of iPreFlight Genesis is available just for the iPad, while the Performance version for the iPad doesn’t include flight planning.
