FLIGHT PLANNING/TRACKING LIBRARY
{ 1786 FLIGHT LIB }
and
TIMER LIBRARY
{ 1785 TIMER LIB }
I. INTRODUCTION
The Flight Planning/Tracking Library provides a menu-driven library
which facilitates flight planning calculations -
- weight/balance
- winds aloft
- route planning
- flight plan times and headings
- fuel requirements
and flight tracking and in-flight calculations -
- audible alarms for expected checkpoint crossings
- TAS/IAS conversions
- pressure and density altitudes
- groundspeed determination
- winds aloft
as well as providing an interconnection to the TIMER LIB, a large-
digit timer function for holds and approaches.
The library takes over the HP48SX while executing the various
functions, but permits normal operation of the HP48SX upon exiting
the library menu system while remembering current data upon re-
entry to the library. Alarms will break-in on operations outside
of the library functions, but will not break in while in the flight
library execution mode.
The flight library requires 29+ kb of memory and requires that data
for the current trip be stored in user memory. The timer library
requires 5 kb of memory. These sizes dictate that the flight
library be stored in an external memory card, while the data for
the flight library and the TIMER LIB can be stored in the
calculator memory.
The flight library menu contains only one executable - the
PLANr.dvr function. The timer library menu provides only the TIMER
executable. Short programs in the HOME directory can be written to
permit rapid access to the planner/tracker and the time. However,
the timer can also be accessed through the flight library's menu
system.
The remainder of this writeup provides a description of the
operation for the flight planning/tracking library, menu by menu,
instructions for downloading and storing the library, and a
registration form for receiving future versions of the library.
II. DESCRIPTION
This following is a description of the use of the flight library
only. A description of the operation of the timer library is
included under the "Enroute Activities" menu of the flight library.
The flight library provides numerous planning, tracking, and in-
flight computations for basic small airplane flying. While most
calculations are as precise as the data provided, the library only
provides accurate flying information for altitudes up to 12,000 ft.
MSL. For instance, in the IAS/TAS and pressure and density
altitude calculations, conversion approximations are only valid to
this 12,000 ft. MSL level.
While the flight library is stored in ROM memory, it does require
the use of user RAM for data storage and manipulation.
Specifically, the library REQUIRES that a directory named AIR be
created, and that this directory contain two subdirectories, named
RTE.FILES and PLANES. Permanent storage of flight plans and
airplane data are located in these two subdirectories, while
current flight plan data are stored in the AIR directory.
After loading the library (see Appendix A), the library can be
executed from any directory/subdirectory, will move to and execute
in the AIR directory, and should then return to the
directory/subdirectory from which it was called.
Except for the airplane-specific data files stored in the PLANES
subdirectory of AIR, all data files are generated and stored from
within the library, so little original programing experience is
necessary to use the library. Sample copies of one airplane's data
files which would be stored in the AIR/PLANES subdirectory is
included with the library files, and are listed in Appendix B.
The following description of the library functions follows the
menus which are the cruising elements in the library. To move
around the menus, the arrow keys are used to move the cursor to the
selected activity, and the ENTER key is used to select the
activity. The EXIT key in the menu is the only way to back up into
the previous menu or exit the program.
The discussions in each of the following sections correspond to
menu items and are discussed in the order in which they are
presented in the menu screens.
The SELECT ACTIVITY menu is the introductory screen and provides
entry into all the other functions provided by the library. These
other functions are as follows.
1. Flight Activities
The flight activities item will provide access to
functions normally associated with in-flight procedures.
These include the current flight status, confirmation of
checkpoint crossing, flight calculations, an Oops
function to reset the last checkpoint crossed, and a
CLOSE PLAN function which discontinues the flight plan
tracking function.
a. Flight Status
The flight status selection presents a screen
which gives the current status of the flight.
This includes the previous checkpoint name and
crossing time, the current checkpoint name,
expected minutes to crossing, the estimated
crossing time (in ZULU), the estimated
nautical miles to crossing, the magnetic
course to the checkpoint, and the estimated
heading to fly to the checkpoint. This
information is also provided for the
checkpoint immediately beyond the upcoming
checkpoint.
On pressing the ENTER key, the flight status
screen will display the total time in flight
(in hours), the estimated time remaining (in
hours), and the estimated fuel remaining in
the tanks (in hours).
Pressing ENTER again, will return to the
FLIGHT ACTIVITIES menu.
b. Start/Ckpt Xing/Close
Selecting this menu item will start the
tracking function, indicate that the upcoming
checkpoint has been crossed, or will indicate
the crossing of the final checkpoint
(destination) and close the tracking function.
The user is asked to confirm checkpoint
crossing, and then the groundspeed along the
direct checkpoint course is calculated.
Following this, if the actual heading flown is
entered at the request, the actual winds
encountered will be calculated and summarized.
[NOTE: The user may call up this function and
delay pressing the ENTER key until actual
checkpoint crossing is made. The time of
crossing is taken as the instant that the
ENTER key is pressed, with only a "Y" (default
value) on the entry line.]
This routine returns to the Flight Activities
menu. To check that the function performed
properly, select the Flight Status function
from the same menu, which should show that the
checkpoints have been incremented.
c. Enroute Calculations
Selecting this item will call another screen
from which to select calculation functions
which are generally used during flight. The
selections are as follows.
i. TIMER
The timer function is a countdown
timer which, when finished counting
down, will revert to counting up
until it is stopped. Any time for
countdown can be entered, up to 9
minutes and 59 seconds.
If the timer has been used at any
time previously, the timer will
start with the last countdown time.
The timer is started by pressing the
GO menu key, and is stopped by
pressing the STOP menu key.
If the timer is stopped (either when
it is started initially, or after a
countdown sequence is complete) and
the STOP key is pressed, the timer
will ask for the initial countdown
time to be entered. The new time
can be entered at this point, or, if
ENTER is pressed with "0" for the
input time, the system will reset to
the Enroute Calcs menu, exiting the
timer function. The last countdown
time is saved.
ii. TAS/IAS/Alts
Selecting this menu item will result
in a request for the current
indicated altitude and the altimeter
setting. Next, a request is made
for one airspeed value - either
theIndicated Air Speed or the True
Air Speed - and for the Outside Air
Temperature (degrees C). From this
information, a screen is provided
which summarizes the estimated
altitudes (indicated, pressure, and
density), and the indicated airspeed
and true airspeed.
(These estimated values are based on
a three-point exponential fit of the
standard curves of temperature,
pressure, and density, and a 2% per
1,000 ft. increase in TAS over IAS,
corrected for density altitude)
iii. Timed Groundspeed
This selection enables timer
functions which are used to compute
the actual groundspeed, and, if the
actual heading flown is given, will
calculate the actual winds aloft
being experienced.
The first time this option is
selected, a request for the distance
to be timed is made. Upon entering
the distance, AND upon pressing
ENTER, the timer will commence.
Upon entering this menu option the
second time, pressing ENTER will
stop the timing run, and will result
in the presentation of the
calculated groundspeed, and then a
request for course (default is the
course for the leg being flown from
the flight plan) and heading flown.
Providing this latter data will
result in a calculation of the winds
aloft experienced.
iv. Calc. Winds
This selection provides a summary of
the LAST actual winds aloft
calculation. Wind aloft
calculations can be those performed
at the last checkpoint crossing, or
can be a result of requesting the
Timed Groundspeed option, also
provided in this menu.
The summary screen in this selection
gives the data for the leg which was
timed, the calculated groundspeed
and the heading flown (if entered)
for this leg, the calculated winds
experienced, and the winds which
were forcast and interpolated for
this leg and altitude.
v. External Routines
The library permits the user to
execute additional programs which
are written and stored in the { HOME
AIR } directory. When the Enroute
Calculations option is invoked, the
library will form a temporary menu
of all the program variables in the
{ HOME AIR } directory. To execute
a selected program, simply press the
appropriate menu key. After
execution of the external program,
the execution will return to the
flight library.
d. Reset Last CKPT Xing
In the excitement of flight, the checkpoint
crossing for the next checkpoint may be
entered before the actual crossing time. To
reset the last checkpoint which is now
incorrectly noted as being crossed so it again
becomes the next checkpoint to be crossed,
select this option. No screen will be
provided, but the result of this operation can
be displayed by requesting the Flight Status
option in this same menu.
e. CLOSE PLAN
If at any time you wish to discontinue
tracking of the flight plan, this option will
shut down the tracking function. While
selecting the Start/Ckpt Xing/Close option in
this menu will close the plan upon its
activation over the last checkpoint
(destination), this selection will do the
same, except it will conclude
trackingregardless of the current location
within the plan.
This has also been considered to be a shortcut
"panic" button.
2. Calculate Flight Plan
Activating this option, providing the checkpoint route
data has been input (see Enter/Edit Route Data below) and
winds aloft have been entered for each location cited in
the checkpoint data, will calculate the flight plan.
Selecting this option will step through each location,
giving the calculated groundspeeds for the winds aloft
data for 3, 6, 9, and 12,000 feet, and interpolating
inbetween (i.e. 4,500, 7,500, and 10,500 feet), and will
request the altitude to be flown TO this checkpoint.
Following the altitude request for the first checkpoint
and for the last checkpoint, the program asks for a time
adder which it will add to the calculated time for the
leg. This tinme adder should be used to account for
climbing time, and/or vectoring time.
Upon calculating all of the data for the plan, a summary
is provided for the cummulative nautical miles to be
flown (between checkpoints), the total time expected to
be required for the flight, and the estimated amount of
fuel required for the trip.
3. Enter/Edit Route Data
This function provides for entering, and storing for
future use, the route data for the flight. A second menu
screen is brought up when this option is selected to
provide the various options. Route files are stored in
the AIR directory, RTE.FILES subdirectory. A description
of each of the options on the secondary menu is as
follows.
a. Load Existing Route
This selection will drop into the RTE.FILES
subdirectory and prompts for the name of the
route file to load. Press the appropriate
menu key to load the desired route filename.
b. Store Current Route
After inputing a route from within the flight
planner, the route information can be stored
in the RTE.FILES subdirectory using
thisselection. This selection drops into the
RTE.FILES subdirectory and prompts for a route
file name (suggest a format similar to AGC.CAK
for Allegheny Airport to Clarksburg). Upon
pressing enter after providing a name, you
will be returned to the EDIT/ENTER Route Data
menu.
c. Extend/Add CKPTS
This selection provides for starting a new
route file or for adding extra checkpoints to
an existing route file. The route file must
be the current route file (i.e. a new route
being entered, or a route loaded from the Load
Existing Route feature).The data requested in
this option is the LOC identifier (three
alpha-newmerics), the winds aloft location
(three alpha-numerics), and the checkpoint
data (mag. variation, distance TO, and heading
TO).
Completing the data for one checkpoint will
generate a request for the next, until ENTER
is pressed when asked for the next checkpoint
LOC identifier.
d. Edit CKPT(s) Data
This menu item permits modifying the route.
First, the checkpoints in the route are
listed, and the user is asked if any
checkpoints are to be deleted. To delete the
checkpoint, simply enter the index number in
the table for the appropriate LOC to be
deleted.
Next, the user is prompted for changing the
checkpoint order. To change the order, enter
the checkpoint index to move and then the
desired index for that checkpoint.
Finally, the user is given the option to
Review/Edit the data for each checkpoint. In
this function, the data for each checkpoint is
shown and editing is permitted.
e. Erase Current Data
Use this option to completely clear all of the
checkpoint data (prior to entering a new set
of route data).
4. Enter/Edit Winds
This series of functions provides for entering the
current winds aloft data. The secondary menu consists of
the following operations.
a. Add Data
Use this option to enter new data or to extend
the existing winds aloft data. Since the
locations for winds aloft are not connected to
each other, any location for winds aloft can
be entered. However, only those locations
which match the locations specified in the
checkpoint data are actually used.
Winds aloft are entered as they would be
reported in written reports, as a four-digit
number. The first two digits are the "from"
bearing of the winds, and the second two
digits are the speed. The program recognizes
"99" entries for light and variable winds,
but, since we are dealing with light aircraft,
it is not programed to recognize coding for
winds in excess of 99 mph.
Winds can be entered for from 3,000 to 12,000
feet. Entries must be made to bracket the
altitude to be flown (i.e. the altitude of
flight must be equal to one of the winds aloft
altitudes or lie between two winds aloft
altitude entries). If the flight altitude
lies outside of the given wind altitudes, the
flight calculation mode will later use zero
winds aloft.
b. Edit Data
This function provides for deleting an
individual location's winds aloft data, or for
editing individual locations' data.
To delete an individual location's data,
simply enter the location's index number from
the displayed list of winds aloft locations.
In editing the data, each location's data is
presented individually and the user is
permited to over write the existing data. The
data is presented in vector notation, using a
TRUE from bearing. Because of the vector
notation, bearings from 180 degrees to 359
degrees will be shown as a negative value.
c. Erase Data
This selection provides for completely erasing
the current winds aloft data prior to
beginning entry of new data for the immediate
flight.
5. Select Plane
Selecting this option drops the library into PLANES
subdirectory and permits the user to use the HP48SX menu
keys to enter the airplane tail number. The tail number
represents a routine which then loads the weight and
balance calculation information for the airplane,
theweight and balance envelope for plotting the
calculated weight and balance within the envelope, and
the fuel burn rate for the airplane.
No provision has been made for entering the unloaded
airplane characteristics from within the library.
Details on setting up the routines for each airplane are
provided in Appendix B, as well as samples of the
routines which are provided with the library files.
III. PROCEDURES
The procedures for using the library are generally in reverse order
from the initial menu screen. The most important functions, those
performed during flight, are at the tops of the menus, while the
more casual planning functions are at the bottom of the menus.
This permits a "no-look" procedure for calling the library,
pressing ENTER twice, and immediately toing to the flight status
screen (probably the most-used function during flight).
To ready the system for a flight, the following order of procedures
is recommended.
1) Enter the library
2) Select an airplane
3) Select the route menu and load or enter the route
(also store the route after entry, if desired)
4) Enter the winds aloft data for the locations
referenced in the route
5) Calculate the flight plan
6) Check the flight status to verify that things are as
expected
7) Set the cursor on the Start/Ckpt Xing/Close option of
the Flight Activities menu - DO NOT press ENTER
8) Press ENTER just prior to the takeoff roll.
The tracker is now in progress and an alarm will sound
approximately two minutes prior to each checkpoint's crossing.
When the alarm sounds, either confirm crossing by pressing ENTER
with the "Y" on the entry line, or press N (STO) and press ENTER.
If you press "Y", the program will begin prompts for groundspeed
and winds aloft calculation. If you do not press "Y", then the
program will go back to sleep for one minute and will resound the
alarm. This procedure continues until you confirm checkpoint
crossing.
APPENDIX A
DOWNLOADING AND LINKING THE LIBRARY
APPENDIX A
After downloading the flight and timer library files from the
bulletin board, or from a file on a disc for your PC, download one
of the library files to the HP48SX. To do this, go to the HOME
directory and set up for a BINARY file transfer (in the SETUP sub-
menu of the I/O menu). Following the transfer, and depending on
which file has been transfered, there will be a file in the current
directory named FLYING or TIMER.
Store this file in a port. For example, If you have one 32 kb card, the
flight library should be stored in the memory card port, and the timer
in port 0.
By pressing the FLIGHT menu key, a new menu will appear which reads
"PLANr.dvr". The "r.dvr" does not appear in the menu, but
PLANR.DVR is the complete name of this flight planner entry point.
From this point, any of the planner/tracker functions can be
accessed.
To store the timer library in the calculator memory, repeat the
above procedure using port 0 (i.e. :0:Y - where Y is any number).
If you have a memory card which is larger than 32 kb, the timer
library can also be stored in the memory card. To do this, follow
the same instructions as for storing the flight library, above.
Use of the library requires making a directory and two
subdirectories. The directory must be named AIR. To do this, in
the HOME directory (blue-shift ' ), enter the name AIR ( alpha,
alpha, AIR, ENTER), enter the memory mode (orange-shift VAR) and
select CRDIR. Upon pressing the VAR key, you should now see the
AIR directory in the variable list. To make the subdirectories,
press the AIR menu key, and create a directory named PLANES just as
in creating the AIR directory. Follow this by also creating the
subdirectory RTE.FILES under the AIR directory.
To permit more rapid access to the library, a program can be placed
in the HOME directory. The program consists of simply:
<< 1786 MENU PLANR.DVR KILL >>
[Note: The program above is on the disk as 'FLY'. -jkh-]
The KILL is important to clear and return to the stack display.
Storing this program in the HOME directory and executing it will
immediately call up the first menu in the library.
Exiting the library will return to the directory from which the
library was initiated.
APPENDIX B
PROGRAMMING AIRPLANE CHARACTERISTICS
APPENDIX B
Entering individual airplane data requires a small amount of
programming.
For each make/model of airplane, two routines are required - a
routine which performs the calculations for the weight and balance
and a routine which plots the weight and balance envelope and plots
the actual weight and balance on this envelope.
For each individual airplane tail number, a single routine is
needed to place the default unloaded airplane characteristics into
the weight and balance calculation routines, and to call the
appropriate routines for its make and model.
These three routines are all placed in the PLANES subdirectory of
the AIR directory. After all the airplanes are entered, use the
MEMORY (orange-shift VAR) ORDER functions to place all of tail
number routines at the front of the menu list. This makes it more
convenient to load the routine from the library's Select Plane menu
item.
Each of these routines are discussed in the following sections.
1. Plotting Routine
This routine requires the most programming patience. The routine
should be named to start with the letter "P" and further named to
correspond with a type of airplane (i.e. P152, P172, PPIPARCH,
etc.) since this routine can be used for any airplane tail number
which corresponds to this make/model of airplane.
The purpose of the routine is to draw the weight/balance envelope
for the airplane. The procedure used is to draw lines between
coordinate points using the HP48SX's graph LINE function. All
coordinates are in a (X,Y) format, where X is usually in thousands
of in-lbs and Y is the weight in lbs.
The listing below is for the PPIPARCH routine which describes the
weight/balance envelope for the Piper Archer:
\<< ERASE {
(81.0000000004,1200)
(94.0000000004,2600)

- R\->C MOMT WGHT /
1000 * .1 + WGHT 10

# 0h } PVIEW
\>>
In the above listing, the first two coordinates in the first list
( {} ) are the lower left corner of the plot area and the upper
right corner of the screen (resulting in a screen a little larger
than the weight/balance envelope). The next coordinate in this
same list is the location on the screen where the axes should cross
each other (usually, also the lower left-hand corner of the
screen). The other elements in this first list provide the axes
labels and the type of function to be plotted. No other changes
should be necessary for this list.
The next series of statements simply draw the outline of the
envelope. This can consist of as many lines and breakpoints in the
envelope as you feel are necessary to model it. Each line is
defined by the coordinate of the starting point (usually the end of
the previous line) and the coordinate of end point, followed by
invoking the HP48SX LINE function.
2. Weight/Balance Calculation Routine
This routine uses the total front passengers' weight (fpwt), the
rear passengers' weight (rpwt), the first baggage compartment
weight (b1wt), the second baggage compartment weight (b2wt), and
the amount of fuel on board (gal), to calculate the total weight
(WGHT) and the total moment (MOMT) in the ramp/takeoff
configuration. This routine applies to a make and model of
aircraft and not a specific tail number, so name it accordingly.
A listing of the routine for the Piper Archer follows.
\<< WGHT fpwt + rpwt
+ b1wt + b2wt + gal
6 * + 'WGHT' STO
MOMT fpwt 32.5 401
/ * + rpwt 38 325 /

/ * + b1wt 27.5 199
/ * + b2wt 100 1 /
* + 'MOMT' STO {
b1wt b2wt rpwt fpwt
} PURGE
\>>
The only entries which need be changed to represent a different
airplane are the factors which multipy each element of weight to
obtain the corresponding moment for each compartment. In the above
routine, rather than calculate and insert each multiplier (the
slope of each line for each compartment), the weight/balance curves
were consulted and an arbitrary point at the extreme end of one
compartment's line was selected. The value of the selected moment
was entered, followed by the weight corresponding to this moment,
and the two divided to obtain the moment per pound in each
compartment. This conversion factor is then multiplied by the
weight in that compartment (fpwt, rpwt, b1wt, b2wt - and recall the
RPN notation used in the HP48SX calculations).
3. Individual Airplane Tail Number Driver Routine
The final routine which defines an airplane's characteristics is
particular to the airplane equipment on board, and therefore,
should be titled with the airplane tail number.
The routine first places on the stack the names of the routines
which plot the weight/balance envelope and which calculate the
weight/balance for this airplane's make and model (PPIPARCH and
PIPARCH in the examples here). Then, a list which is later used in
an INPUT statement is generated. The list contains default values
which can be edited during the weight/balance activity in the
Select Plane activity in the library.
Default inputs are specified for the gallons/hour burn rate, the
TAS, the base weight, and the base moment of unloaded airplane.
The following is a listing of the routine N26H for airplane tail
number N8226H.
\<< 'PPIPARCH'

APPENDIX C
Warranty
APPENDIX C
Absolutely no warranty, expressed or implied, applies to a user who
is not registered in writting.
For a user who is registered, the warranty excludes any liability
whatsoever from the use of this software. Accurate calculations
for the flight of airplanes are solely the responsibility of the
pilot. This software is intended to be an aid to those
calculations, but the accuracy of the calculations is not
guaranteed. Use of this computational aid is not intended to
replace required competence and cross-checking on the part of the
pilot.
The warranty on the software provides for either correcting a
software error or providing instructions for a work-around.
Program updates or improvements are not guaranteed nor implied.
Should future updates or modifications to this software be made
available, they are not guaranteed to be available in a size which
will fit in a memory size of 32 kb or less (i.e. if you are going
to purchase a memory card for the HP48SX, a card larger than 32 kb
is recommended).
APPENDIX D
Registration Form
APPENDIX D
The registration fee for this program is $50. Payment of this fee
entitles the registered user to communications regarding the use
and application of the program and handy tips received from other
users. Additionally, should updates become available, the
registered user will be notified of the availability of the
updates.
Upon receipt of the registration fee, the user will be provided
with a description of the data files generated and used by the
library. Due to the target of making this library available in a
size which would fit onto a 32 kb memory card, other optional
programs which would be handy to have, were not included. Such as
a program to automatically generate a full route plan for a return
trip from the route plan entered to get to the original
destination. This is a simple program which can be written by
knowing the format and definitions of the various data files used
by the library. Also knowing the the data formats, a program can
be generated to summarize the entire trip, a facility which is not
presently available in the library. Or, after calculating actual
winds aloft experienced during the flight, a program could be
written to update the remaining flight estimates based on the most
recently-calculated winds.
The data files used by the library have been packed and coded for
memory savings and their use, therefore, are not straight forward.
An explanation of each of the files, data constants, and other
tidbits will be sent to each registered user.
Use of the registration form below entitles the user to the use and
to remain informed on the use and improvements to the library.
Registration does not apply to anyone other than the registered
individual.
Club registrations are available, please contact the home office
for information.
