The right C182 engine settings, right when conditions change.
Set your altitude, the outside air temperature and a power target. Cruise Advisor reads back manifold pressure, RPM, true airspeed, fuel flow and range, straight from the C182T G1000 POH performance tables.

How it works
Three inputs. Five answers.
Set the conditions you are flying in. The app finds the matching POH tables and reads back the engine settings and the performance that go with them.
- Altitude Sea level to 14,000 ft
- Temperature Outside air, from ISA −20°C to ISA +20°C
- Target power 65% Economy, 70% Balanced or 75% Performance
- Manifold pressure
- 21.0 inHg
- RPM
- 2000
- True airspeed
- 127 kts
- Fuel flow
- 10.7 GPH
- Range
- 937 nm
Shown at 8,000 ft, OAT −0.8°C and a 65% target. Range assumes 87 gallons usable, a 45-minute reserve and zero wind.
Why pilots use it
The book, at a glance.
Paging through performance tables in the cockpit is slow and easy to misread. The Cruise Advisor does the lookup and the interpolation for you, and shows its working.
Straight from the POH
All 527 performance points from the C182T G1000 POH: every altitude band, every temperature table and every RPM entry. No generic estimates.
Checked 22,450 ways
The numbers are tested against 22,450 reference cases covering every altitude and temperature position, every power mode and every RPM choice.
Pin an RPM
Leave RPM on Auto to follow your power target, or pin the RPM you want and choose the manifold pressure that goes with it.
Honest at the edges
Where the POH has no table for a setting, the app says so. It keeps your last good numbers, marks them as a previous result, and never makes one up.
Works with no signal
No account, no telemetry and no network connection. Everything the app needs is already on your device.
Made for the cockpit
Large numbers, 44-point controls, light and dark modes, and layouts that hold up at the largest text sizes, on iPhone and iPad.
Screens
One screen, two sheets.
For planning only.
C182 Cruise Advisor is a planning aid. Always verify figures against the POH for your aircraft. Its data is from the C182T G1000 POH; if you fly a different 182, use that aircraft’s own book.
