This is a simplified model: it applies a standard navigation, performance or seamanship formula to the numbers you entered. True airspeed and density altitude use the ISA troposphere model for dry air and ignore humidity, compressibility and instrument or position error, so they are not a substitute for your aircraft's flight manual or an air data computer. Wind, climb, descent and fuel figures assume a steady wind and a constant speed and fuel flow for the whole leg; they ignore manoeuvring, holding, taxi and start-up fuel, terrain, turbulence and air traffic control routing. Takeoff distance scales an entered sea level figure by a rule-of-thumb percentage per 1000 ft of density altitude and is not a certified performance chart. Weight and balance results depend entirely on the arms and weights you enter and must be checked against the approved loading envelope. Hull speed is the classic 1.34 × √LWL displacement estimate, boat fuel burn is a horsepower-based approximation, anchor scope is a rule of thumb, and the rule of twelfths is a linear approximation of a sinusoidal tide that does not hold in all locations. Always use official charts, tide tables, the aircraft or vessel manuals and current weather, and treat these numbers as planning estimates only.
