This is a excel-based file which can be used to calculate ranges and altitudes for Pop-up to Dive free-fall weapons delivery. User inputs include planned attack speed, dive angle, required minimum recovery altitude, and stabilized dive time. It is based on an old Pop-to-Dive calculator I had developed while I was in the Air Force.
It allows up to four attacks to be pre-planned and printed for in-flight reference.
Please note, that this is still a "work in progress" and I would appreciate any feedback and/or suggestions on how to make this a better and more accurate and useful tool.
