Pilot Tools
Interactive versions of the calculations the DGCA CPL papers test. Use them to practise, check your working, or see the concept move.
Flight Computer
A free E6B-style flight computer: wind, altitude, airspeed, fuel and conversions in one place.
Navigation and flight planning questions need the same calculations again and again: time, speed and distance, fuel, wind, pressure and density altitude, true airspeed and Mach. This electronic flight computer does them all, and shows how each answer is worked out so you can do it in the exam.
Open toolWind Triangle Solver
Heading, drift and groundspeed from your TAS, track and wind.
Every navigation leg starts with the wind triangle. It is the most-tested calculation in the DGCA Navigation paper and the one you will work on every flight plan.
Open toolMETAR Decoder
Paste any METAR and read it in plain English.
Reading a METAR quickly and correctly is examined in the Meteorology paper, and it is the first thing a pilot checks before every flight.
Open toolCP / PNR Solver
Find your Critical Point and Point of No Return.
Where is it quicker to continue than to turn back, and where can you no longer return at all? A classic DGCA Navigation question and the basis of long-range fuel decisions.
Open toolCrosswind Calculator
Headwind and crosswind components, gusts included, against your aircraft’s limit.
Can you land on this runway in this wind? Compares the crosswind, including gusts, with your training aircraft’s demonstrated limit.
Open toolHold Entry Visualizer
See whether to fly a Direct, Teardrop or Parallel entry.
Choosing the right holding entry is a PANS-OPS question in the Regulations paper and a common stumbling block on checkrides.
Open toolWeight & Balance
Load the aircraft and see the CG move on the envelope.
An aircraft loaded outside its CG envelope can be uncontrollable. Mass and balance is examined in the Navigation paper and checked before every flight.
