Kneeboard Cards & Downloads
Print-ready reference cards for your flight bag — built on the same FAA/NWS formulas as the calculators, and branded so a hangar friend can find their way back here.
Every card is half-letter (5.5×8.5″) — print at 100% / actual size and two fit on one letter sheet. They print clean on white to save ink. Free, no sign-up, yours to share.

METAR Decoder
Paste, type, or photograph a METAR and get a plain-language breakdown — wind, visibility, weather, clouds, temp and altimeter. The photo reader runs on your device; nothing is uploaded.
Open the decoder →Your Aircraft Performance Card
Pick your aircraft, pull live airport weather, and print a personalized one-page performance card for your exact conditions — takeoff roll, power, climb and TAS — with a plain reference-only warning.
Open the calculator →Install It On Your Phone
Add FlightPerformanceCalc to your home screen and it runs offline at the hangar — no signal needed. The green gauge becomes an app icon on your device.
