A group of experienced instructors in the PA46 owner's group --MMOPA-- have created an iPhone application to assess risks of a particular flight. It is intended specifically for PA46 operations and based on the risk factors known to be germane based on accident history. The tool is based on the FAA FRAT model but extended to include factors not in the FAA list. Cross-country flights in Mooneys are similar enough in nature that the MMOPA FRAT tool is of use to us, too. Of course almost all PA46 are FIKI and pressurized so the tool presumes de-ice and high altitude capabilities. Download from the Apple App Store; it is offered to the aviation community free of charge. Sample screen shots: The pilot works through the app entering information about himself, the aircraft, weather at destination and alternate. There are about 30 factors considered. As you go through the questionnaire the score is updated with each answer.
