Features
Read full description

Designed for student and private pilots, it brings wind, navigation, fuel and performance calculations together. FLIGHT KEYS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS Calculate crosswind and gust components, wind correction, heading, groundspeed, time en route, fuel requirements and density altitude. Explore the function library, weight-and-balance tools and unit converter. PILOT TOOLS Save aircraft profiles and enter loading stations and CG envelope data from your aircraft documentation. Explore direct, parallel and teardrop holding entries with colored sectors and an animated aircraft. Check Zulu/UTC and local clocks, use a stopwatch or countdown, and calculate durations. BEYOND THE BASICS Plan a descent, convert climb gradients, explore turn performance, estimate still-air glide range, find a point of no return or equal-time point, and interpolate between chart values. UNDERSTAND THE RESULT See units beside inputs. Load clearly marked examples. Read formulas, sources and assumptions. Invalid or impossible inputs produce an explanation. YOUR PREFERRED UNITS Choose knots or miles per hour, US gallons or liters, and 0–6 decimal places in Settings. Display precision does not round the underlying calculation values.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PetScan at none against Aviation Calculator's 2. PetScan also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Aviation Calculator's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 10 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
