This 550 Malibu with radar pod spreadsheet was developed by me (Chad Menne) to give insight into conservative operating practices and is designed to be used in flight on your iPad. In general, the color of the field will indicate its level of good/bad value for the engine, or in some cases, the “bang for the buck” in wear and tear vs performance (most people would like to evaluate whether their operation is good for the given performance). Often times just very slight changes can improve temps vs. performance.

Each spreadsheet has sample data from actual aircraft. Some slight adjustments may need to be made to account for indication errors, or exceptional performance from some aircraft.
