TN SPS

I am type-rated to fly on ATR72-600 aircrafts. When I was studying for the type-rating in ATR training centre in France, I was provided with a software to do the calculations for my training flights. I was amazed by work load that disappeared with utilization of that software. Unfortunately the organization I work for doesn't have access to that software so I decided to make use of my time in order to build something similar. Obviously I don't have a team, and I have quite limited resources. And I don't have access to any raw data from the manufacturer. But I had Airplane Flight Manuals and I figured I could digitalize the info that is avaliable in tables that we normally use to make the calculations, and with that digital data I could design algorithms that could read and do calculations.

Digitalizing the printed data on the tables took longer than I expected. And there were quite numerous tables to get through. But eventually with some help from an amazing tool (https://automeris.io/) and some script I wrote on Python I had a very efficient way of collecting data on pdf tables and was on my way.

In the begining I was focused on web design and did not have experience in app design. So the first product I produced was a module on this site. But my colleagues insisted that an app would be much more useful so I started to studying Swift/SwiftUI for Apple app store. On april of 2024 I started coding for TN SPS on swift framework and after 6 months of exciting effort I have a working app on my hands and without some functionality (which are coming soon) I can say it is as capable as the software I was amazed to see 1.5 years ago.
