RunupLab

Free pilot tools

Fast, no-signup flight-planning tools — the math checked against the handbooks. Built to be used on the ground before you fly.

E6B Flight Computer

live

Density altitude and true airspeed, the wind triangle (heading and groundspeed with a live diagram), and cloud base — the flight-computer math without the wheel.

METAR Decoder

live

Fetch the live report for any airport, or paste a raw METAR, and read it in plain English — wind, visibility, ceiling, temperature, and a VFR/MVFR/IFR/LIFR call.

Fuel & Endurance

live

Usable fuel, burn, and cruise speed into endurance, still-air range, and a §91.151 reserve check — the numbers before the dipstick confirms them.

Weight & Balance

live

Load the seats, baggage, and fuel and watch the CG land inside — or outside — the envelope, on a live weight-vs-CG chart. A PA-28 example you edit for your aircraft.

Takeoff & Landing Performance

live

Density altitude, weight, and wind into ground roll and the over-50-ft distance, checked against your runway — the POH method, worked on a PA-28 example.

Go / No-Go

live

Ceiling, visibility, wind, and density altitude banded green/amber/red against your personal minimums — a one-look decision aid before you commit.

Unit Converter

live

Speed, distance, altitude, volume, weight, temperature, and pressure — the conversions you actually reach for in the cockpit, live as you type.

Compass & Instrument Errors

live

The magnetic compass acceleration (ANDS) and turning errors, on a live card — plus a reference for the gyro and pitot-static instrument errors.

Crosswind Components

live

Set the runway and wind and read off the headwind and crosswind components, checked against your personal limit and the gusts.

More on the way

Still to come: live weather by airport, and a systems trainer. For now, paste a METAR into the decoder above.
