You can look closer at each of the nearby airfields to find out more about what the situation looks like, and specifically how it looks when compared to your own predefined minimums. In the air: If you find yourself in a situation where you need to land in a hurry, and you are looking to lighten the mental load, then Wings Toolbox can help you by making many of the important decisions a lot easier. At a glance you can see a list of nearby airfields, direction and ETA, based on your current location and speed. Once you have selected a location, then you are guided all the way down. A runway is suggested for you, crosswind is calculated, and you get all the important details about the airfield, as well as the situation on the ground compared to your predefined personal minimums. In the event you lose one or more of your instruments mid-flight, Wings Toolbox includes a backup of your main instrumentation. If you need to focus on a single instrument, simply tap it and it will fill the screen. Stay Informed: Safety in aviation is important to us, which is why we want to bring you all of the latest news from EASA as well as their popular safety comic "Sunny Swift".
