User reviews

Great Flight Calculator!

I trialed several affordable flight calculators and ended up with this one as my top choice!

My first impression was the simple and fast to use UI: there is no fuss so you can get calculations done quickly and easily. It also was one of the few with in-flight winds aloft estimation, something I could do with my ASA E6-B, but prefer doing digitally.

After that, I tried out a number of the calculations and after the latest updates they all match official materials, which is a big step up from a lot of competing calculators that use rule-of-thumb estimates instead.
Lastly, the developer is super friendly and responded to my feedback very quickly! I am impressed!

All in all this seems to be the one for me, and I find myself using it for all my student pilot needs!
