iPod touch for flight planning

Any apps out there for flight planning with the touch?
The maps would be cool if it could just do direct rather than driving instructions.

Calculator for doing Mach #'s

I have a CR-5 calculator that has a section on Mach #'s but I don't have my manual. Does any know where I can get a manual or know how to use it to figure out a TAS from a mach # and true air temp?

Here is an example; If you have a TAS of160 kts and a wind of 230/51, TH of 082 Seems to me that you; got a tailwind of 43kts, x-wind of 28 degrees, line...

I've never been in an airline environment.

How much time (Porter) overnight between flights? Worst case scenario? Seems like it is a bit short, (from a quick glance at the schedule) but then you don't have to flight plan, etc.etc.

Does the engine chip detector still turn off when the gear are in the wells? ie Kelnor crash report... Do they come with automatic engine trend monitoring and reporting? as per the JAR requirements... ie Kelnor crash report...

Re: Speeds and power settings for BE20?

Another plan might be to rotate to 10 degrees nose up and climb at that attitude. This is the engine failure checklist figure and will keep you alive if you are always in the habit when that ever so unlikely thing should occur.

When 1000 feet above obstacles turn on the A/P and set to cruise climb.
