Stage Cooler for Android

11 things about Stage Cooler

1. Experts recommend reducing engine power at a maximum rate of 1” manifold pressure per minute, and a maximum Cylinder Head Temperature reduction of 50 degrees per minute.

2. It calculates the distance from destination that cooling should begin, then helps you time each interval with audible and visual power change reminders each minute.

3. Stage cooler assists pilots with cooling their piston-powered engines safely, without the risk of shock-cooling their engine cylinders.

4. It takes into account the extra speed derived from your descent, as well as the speed lost during the stage cooling process.

5. Speed during the stage cooling process is assumed to increase by 0.7% for every 1000 feet of altitude.

6. Avoid early, expensive engine overhauls by reducing engine power in small stages.

7. Time is calculated based on one minute being required for every inch of manifold pressure that must be shed.

8. Your cooling distance is calculated using estimates based on book values of several aircraft.

9. The subsequent value is then reduced by 15% to compensate for speed loss from the staged power reductions.

10. Reducing power too quickly will expedite your next engine overhaul.
