Performance calculations using graphs and tables are a bit time consuming and I have quite a few to do. Is there a way I can do this using my computer? Perhaps it is possible to derive a formula and use it in a spread sheet or maybe there is something published by the manufacturer which I can use. I am interested in the Beach 1900D

You may find Civil Jet Aircraft Design (http://www.bh.com/bookscat/links/details.asp?isbn=034074152X) by Jenkinson et al useful.

Although, as the title suggests the book is about design, it covers performance calculations in chapter 10 and more importantly chapter 15 is entitled 'Introduction to Spreadsheet Methods' and covers how to do many types of aeronautical calculation as spreadsheets.
