Fuel Planner
Read full descriptionHide full description
Fuel Planner puts professional flight departments’ tankering maths in every pilot’s pocket. Just enter your route, fuel prices, reserve policy and (optionally) weight-penalty %, then tap Calculate. Behind the scenes a dynamic-programming engine compares unrestricted and ramp-fee-waiver–constrained strategies, optimising gallon purchases at every stop. You instantly receive: a one-paragraph “Pilot Action Brief” telling you exactly how much to uplift at each leg, and a detailed cost breakdown (fuel, ramp fees, weight-penalty) for audit or dispatcher review. Trips can be saved, shared as a single file, or re-imported later. Everything stays on-device; no network connection, log-in, or subscription required. Built natively in SwiftUI, Fuel Planner works offline, respects your privacy, and calculates results in a blink even for multi-leg itineraries.
Fuel Check Pro
Read full descriptionHide full description
Fuel Check Pro helps helicopter crews quickly estimate fuel burn and reserve timing during flight operations. Enter starting and ending fuel, run the built-in timer, and calculate fuel burn rate (lb/hr), estimated burnout time, VFR reserve timing (20 min), and IFR reserve timing (30 min). Designed for fast cockpit use with large fuel input fields, a simple high-contrast layout, night mode optimized for low-light operations, and clear time outputs in H:MM | clock format. Fuel Check Pro is an operational aid for situational awareness only. It is not a certified flight planning tool and does not replace approved aircraft documents, procedures, dispatch requirements, or pilot judgment.
