About this app

FlyTools puts useful aviation calculations, weather information, and everyday pilot tools in one place, so you can get the answer you need quickly without digging through spreadsheets, websites, or complicated menus.

Need to check weight & balance before a flight? See the current density altitude? Add up flight times for your logbook? Check a METAR or calculate the crosswind?

Open FlyTools, get the answer, and get on with your flight.

KEY FEATURES

• WEIGHT & BALANCE
Create aircraft profiles, enter your load, check CG limits, and visualize the result on a clear CG envelope. Save multiple aircraft with custom weights and arm values so they're ready for your next flight.

• PRESSURE & DENSITY ALTITUDE
Calculate pressure and density altitude using field elevation, temperature, and QNH or altimeter settings.

• METAR & TAF WEATHER
Check current METARs and TAFs by ICAO code or location, with clear decoded weather information for a quick overview of conditions.

• TIME CALCULATOR
Add and subtract hours and minutes quickly, ideal for flight times, logbook entries, and other aviation time calculations.

• WIND TOOLS
Calculate crosswind and headwind components, wind correction angles, and ground speed.

• NEAREST AIRPORTS
Find airports around your current location, filter by airport type, view airport information, and open locations in your preferred maps app.

• FUEL & WEIGHT CONVERSIONS
Convert between liters, US gallons, Imperial gallons, kilograms, and pounds with support for aviation fuel types.

• INTERACTIVE VOR TRAINER
Practice VOR navigation by moving the aircraft and rotating the OBS while watching the CDI respond in real time.

• METRIC & IMPERIAL UNITS
Choose the units you prefer across FlyTools.

• MULTIPLE AIRCRAFT
Create and save profiles for multiple aircraft with customizable weights and arm values.

WHY FLYTOOLS?

FlyTools started with a simple problem: I wanted a quick way to calculate weight & balance without relying on spreadsheets.

That idea grew into a collection of practical tools for the small calculations and checks pilots make before, during, and after flying.

FlyTools isn't trying to replace your full flight-planning or navigation software. It's built for something simpler: getting useful aviation calculations and information quickly when you need them.

Less time calculating. More time flying.
