How much radiation did your last flight expose you to? Find out... FlightDose is a scientific aviation tool for estimating exposure to cosmic radiation during flight, based on established aerospace radiation modeling principles. At its core, FlightDose leverages methodologies derived from CARI-7, a widely recognized aviation radiation dose model developed for analyzing radiation exposure at altitude. By combining route geometry with altitude, latitude, geomagnetic shielding, and solar conditions, FlightDose provides informed estimates of in-flight radiation dose in a clear, modern interface. Cosmic radiation increases rapidly at cruising altitudes and varies significantly by latitude and flight path. FlightDose makes this invisible environmental factor understandable using real aviation physics and data-driven calculations. What FlightDose does • Estimates in-flight radiation dose using CARI-7–based modeling concepts • Accounts for altitude, geographic position, and Earth’s magnetic field • Supports route-based and flight-based dose estimation • Presents results clearly without unnecessary complexity Who it’s for • Pilots and aircrew • Frequent flyers • Aviation professionals and students • Engineers, researchers, and science-focused travelers • Anyone curious about estimating radiation dose during flights Important information FlightDose is provided for informational and educational purposes only. It is not endorsed by the FAA and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or risk assessment. All dose values are estimates and should not be used for clinical, regulatory, or occupational decision-making.

QuickWindChk puts the wind picture you need before a flight decision into one clear, focused view. Enter the runway heading, wind direction, and wind speed to understand the wind at a glance. Wind Envelope — Check your wind margin quickly and clearly. Set crosswind and tailwind limits, then see the remaining margin clearly. Pattern HDG — See the traffic-pattern direction that fits your runway, along with wind-corrected headings for each leg. Choose left- or right-hand traffic, set TAS, and switch the pattern presentation UP or DOWN for the view that is easiest to read. You can also: - See headwind, tailwind, and left or right crosswind components instantly. - Use a clean runway-and-wind diagram to understand the result visually. - Enter data quickly with the purpose-built keypad. - Lock runway or wind-direction values for repeated checks. - Use light or dark appearance on both iPhone and iPad. Important! QuickWindChk is a fast reference tool. Always use current official weather information, aircraft limitations, airport procedures, and approved flight-planning resources when making operational decisions.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: QuickWindChk at none against FlightDose's 1. QuickWindChk also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). FlightDose's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
