Infographic #2: Printable Pre-Calculated Cross-Country Log (FREE template)
As a service to the flying community, this infographic is a FREE template available for personal and educational use.
This is a full-featured single-page cross-country (xc) log, with one section for Planning and one for Flight.
Sections include:
- Power
- Course
- Altimeter
- Winds aloft
- Altitude
- Wind correction angle (WCA)
- Airspeed
- Heading
- Groundspeed
- Distance
- Time En Route
- Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA)
- Fuel
Our structured format does most of the heavy calculations for you, and lets you see (and remember) the relationships between each value.
Explanations of atmospheric and altitude formulas are included inside our Altitudes Poster.
Available as FREE Google Sheets template
Infographic #3: Printable Pre-Calculated E6B Wind Chart for Range/Diversions (FREE template)
As a service to the flying community, this infographic is a FREE template available for personal and educational use.
Prepare and print this worksheet before any flight, and be well-prepared to make diversion range decisions at a glance.
Prior to your flight, simply fill in the 7 input fields with your flight data:
- Winds aloft direction
- Winds aloft speed
- Average magnetic variation
- True airspeed
- Fuel flow
- Vectoring time at dest
- Fuel capacity (usable)
Print the worksheet before your flight for easy reference.
When needing to divert, start with your desired True Course. If you have sufficient fuel to fly the Distance to your new destination, then accept the diversion, and fly the yellow-highlighted Magnetic Course (or Magnetic Heading).
Available as FREE Google Sheets template
Infographic #4: VFR Cheat Sheet (FREE download)
As a service to the flying community, this infographic is a FREE download available for personal and educational use.
It summarizes the key concepts and regulations surrounding Visual Flight Rules (VFR) flight operations, including:
- Controlled and uncontrolled airspaces
- Day and night
- Weather requirements for VFR
- Weather requirements for Special VFR (SVFR)
- Airspace entry requirements
- Transponder (Mode C and ADS-B out) requirements
- Speed limits
Our structured format lets you visually see (and remember) these complex mappings.
Available as FREE high-res digital download
Infographic #5: Supplemental Oxygen (FREE download)
As a service to the flying community, this infographic is a FREE download available for personal and educational use.
It summarizes the key concepts and regulations surrounding supplemental oxygen use in general aviation, including the PHAK and AIM guidance encouraging use above 10,000' MSL (or 5,000' at night).
Available as FREE high-res digital download
Infographic #6: Weight and Balance Worksheet (FREE template)
As a service to the flying community, this infographic is a FREE template available for personal and educational use.
Use this worksheet to assist with weight and balance (W&B) calculations before each flight.
Our structured format works with any POH, and lets you see (and remember) the relationships between each value.
