Active Runway vs SOLUS Copilot

When your workload is high, calculating the best runway for landing can be difficult. Active Runway makes it quick and simple. Built for pilots who need fast runway decisions in the cockpit, Active Runway is designed to be simple to use, easy to read, and fully functional without cell service. Just move the sliders to the available runways and current wind direction, then tap Calculate. Active Runway will display the runway with the least crosswind — that's it. New: Load any airport to pull current and forecasted weather, and Active Runway will automatically calculate the preferred runway for you. I hope you find this app helpful in the cockpit. Comments and suggestions are always welcome.

SOLUS Copilot — AI Flight Intelligence The pre-flight brief the FAA never mandated. SOLUS is an AI copilot that helps GA pilots make better go/no-go decisions. Mission Brief Get a personalized PAVE-framework brief before every flight. Weather, NOTAMs, currency, aircraft status, weight & balance, and pilot readiness — synthesized into one actionable risk picture. Pre-Flight Readiness 30-second IMSAFE self-check. Sleep, stress, fatigue, medication, and alcohol factors surface in your brief as decision support. Your data stays on your device — never shared with instructors, schools, or employers. Weight & Balance Load your aircraft, see your CG plotted on the envelope in real time with takeoff and landing points. Scorecard format: weight, CG, limits, go/no-go — all at a glance. NOTAM Intelligence NOTAMs in plain English, ranked by severity. Runway closures and GPS interference surface first. Route-aware filtering by departure time, runway, and altitude. Currency Tracking All five FAR 61.57 currency requirements tracked with exact expiry dates. Flight review, medical, day/night landings, IFR currency, and tailwheel. Risk Score Pre-departure risk score built from currency, recency, aircraft status, pilot readiness, and time-of-day fatigue data. Transparent scoring — every factor explained. Also Includes - Live METAR, TAF, PIREPs, and GPS spoofing alerts - NTSB accident database search - FAR/AIM reference - Logbook sync (MyFlightbook, LogTen Pro, CSV) - Post-flight debrief - Density altitude and performance planning SOLUS is a decision-support tool. All go/no-go decisions rest with the pilot-in-command per FAR 91.7.
