Power check Hassles
Good day to you all & complimants of the season!
I hope none of you had to work over the festive period.
I'm based in Central Africa at the moment working a contract with a Jetranger. I was wondering if anyone knew of a computer gereated power check chart for the standard J engine alison as my ruler, pencil & P.O.H. are coming up with different answers!
I have a weight & Balance program in exel and was hoping someone could let me know if there is a power check chart in exel.
Best of luck for everyones 2006!

206 digital Power Check Program
Every time I do a power check on the company B206 I feel as though I am not accurate enough (if you know what I mean.) Turbulent air, pensil on chart etc.
Does anyone have a program that can calculate the inputted figures to make a final reading more acurate, ie an exel speadsheet.
Any help would be great.

Turbulent air? Why on earth are you trying to use the chart in the air?? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Go up and have someone sit in the left seat with a paper and pen. (Believe me, you won't have to look hard for someone who wants to go for a helicopter ride.) Set your power, then *you* read the numbers to them and have them write those numbers down. Then land. Now, in the safety and non-turbulent comfort of your desk, open the RFM and plot the numbers.
Sheesh, make it easy on yourself, man!

I am surprised you are still looking for a "solution" after more than 3 years since your last thread on this topic.

Why don't you make your own Excel file or pay some MS Excel fanatic for it? I hear accountants all love Excel and its 5 billion functions.

two0six: if you explain what you want and how the calculation works, I'll roll up a spreadsheet for you. Drop me a PM.
If you're based anywhere near Cape Town (or Port Elizabeth), you can return the favour with a flight sometime.
