Descent Profile is a simple descent planning tool designed for aircraft without VNAV.
Enter Cruise Altitudee, Target Altitude, and the distance from TOD to reach Target Altitude is displayed — Then enter groundspeed
and Time to go and Vertical Speed required values instantly appear.
Key Features
Instant required vertical speed (fpm) calculation
Time-to-go based on distance and groundspeed
Designed for fast in-flight and pre-descent planning
Clean, distraction-free interface
No accounts, no tracking
How to Use
Descent planning is simpler when you know two things: Cruise Altitude and
Target Altitude. Time and Vertical Speed comes after groundspeed is entered.
Descent Profile gives you the vertical speed required to meet your altitude constraint.
1) Set the Descent
Set your CRZ LVL (cruise flight level/altitude).
Set your TO LVL (target level/altitude).
The app computes DESCEND (altitude to lose).
2) Enter Groundspeed

3) Read the Result
The app shows TIME available to cover the distance.
The app shows required V/S in fpm to descend the needed altitude within that time.
Tip: Use it as a quick cross-check for your mental math or SOP descent planning.
Important: This app is for situational awareness and training purposes only.
Always comply with ATC instructions, aircraft limitations, and company procedures.
