"Jet Fueling" can be used by anyone involved in the process of refueling an Aircraft, and/or determining Payload in regards to Bloc Fuel and vice-versa. The first tab: "LIMITATIONS" allows to fine-tune available paylod versus desired Bloc Fuel and vice-versa... Desired bloc fuel is computed on this tab. The second tab: "REFUEL", helps compute the quantity needed to be uplifted (in Liters, US Gallons or ImpG) taking into account: - The desired quantity upon departure (Bloc), - The remaining fuel on board at the time of the computation (FOB –Fuel On Board -), - The fuel consumption of an APU or other power unit until departure, - And of course Fuel density (specific gravity for the purists). It also allows for some basic conversions (ex: USg to Lbs, L to kg etc…) as well as specific gravity conversions. On both these tabs, a basic calculator can be summoned by a swipe gesture. It is dismissed in the same way.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: K4 Tools at Free against Jet Fueling's $1.99. K4 Tools also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Jet Fueling's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 26.0). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
