Wind Triangle vs Aviation Calculator AvCalc

Calculate heading and ground speed for flight planning, wind speed and direction for in-flight wind assessment, or any other parameter in the aviation wind triangle! Whether you need an easy wind solver for flight planning or you're a student pilot learning the ins and outs of the E6B wind side, this app makes solving the wind triangle intuitive and easy. With the in-flight wind assessment (GPS-enabled devices only), the app uses GPS and heading to automatically calculate the current wind at your altitude by just inputting your TAS or CAS with conditions. This brings integrated flight deck capabilities to your aircraft with a readout of your current head/tail- and crosswind components. Inputs supported: heading, true airspeed, ground speed, track, wind direction, wind speed. Input any four parameters and the app calculates the rest. Calibrated airspeed (CAS) may be set instead of TAS. Inputting CAS prompts you to set barometric setting, indicated altitude, and outside air temperature (OAT). From this, TAS, pressure altitude, and density altitude are calculated. Try GPS mode (supported devices only) on the ground by enabling the GPS Demo Mode option.

AvCalc is a focused aviation calculator for pilots, student pilots, instructors, and flight planners who need quick cockpit-style answers without digging through menus. Plan flights, check wind, estimate performance, decode weather, and keep common aviation calculations in one compact app. Calculate: • Time, speed, and distance • Wind correction, heading, and groundspeed • Crosswind and headwind runway components • Fuel required, endurance, range, and burn rate • Pressure altitude, density altitude, ISA deviation, and TAS • Mach, climb, descent, glide, and top of descent values • Cloud base estimates • Aviation unit conversions • UTC time, timers, and flight time math • Navigation coordinates and magnetic variation helpers • Map scale distances • Holding entries and wind correction • Weight and balance with CG and envelope checks • METAR and TAF weather report decoding AvCalc is built for fast, repeatable use: enter the values you know, get clean numeric outputs, copy results, and save recent calculations for later reference. Whether you are preparing a lesson, reviewing a route, checking runway winds, or doing quick performance math before a flight, AvCalc keeps the core aviation calculations close at hand. Always verify calculations against current aircraft documentation, approved flight manuals, official weather sources, and operational procedures. AvCalc is a planning and reference tool and is not a substitute for required flight planning, navigation equipment, or pilot judgment.
