Home › Free Pilot Tools

These tools are free, require no sign-up, and run entirely in your browser — nothing you type is uploaded anywhere. They are built and maintained by the FlightDecide team, the same people who build the go/no-go decision-support app, and each one comes with the formula, a worked example, and the judgment context you need to actually use the number.

Tools

Crosswind Calculator

Headwind and crosswind components from runway, wind, and gusts — including the gust component that matters in the flare.

Density Altitude Calculator

Pressure altitude and density altitude from field elevation, altimeter, and temperature — see what altitude your airplane thinks it's at.

Personal Minimums Worksheet

A printable, fill-in worksheet for setting your own ceiling, visibility, wind, and performance numbers before the pressure to fly shows up.

Guides

The Go/No-Go Decision Framework

A repeatable structure for the decision every one of these tools feeds into.

Personal Minimums

Where the numbers come from, how to keep them honest, and how to say no gracefully.

How to Read a TAF

Decode the forecast groups that decide whether your window is flyable.

What NOTAMs to Check

The NOTAMs that actually change a GA flight — and how to not miss them.

One tool that checks all of it

FlightDecide runs winds, ceilings, visibility, NOTAMs, fuel, performance, and W&B for your specific flight window and aircraft — then gives you a GO / CAUTION / NO GO advisory you can verify against the raw data.
