Preflight For Pilots

Preflight is a set of essential tools for pilots: weather decoding, duty limits, performance figures and references. RUNWAY AND AIRPORTS • Headwind and crosswind components for any runway and reported wind, including gusts. • 70,000+ airports with ICAO and IATA codes, elevation, coordinates, runway lengths, widths and surfaces. • Sunrise, sunset and twilight times in UTC. • Airport map. WEATHER • METAR and TAF, decoded line by line: wind, visibility, cloud, temperature and dew point, QNH, trend. • Flight category at a glance, with the raw report kept alongside. • VOLMET frequencies by region. DUTY LIMITS • Maximum daily FDP from the EASA FTL tables (ORO.FTL.205), by report time and number of sectors, including extended FDP. • In-flight rest planning for augmented crews: rest per pilot for 3 or 4 pilots, with equal or custom splits, against the UTC clock. CALCULATIONS • Fuel uplift in…
