Full Description
GAB Aviation Tools is a powerful aviation learning and planning suite designed for pilots, students, and enthusiasts who want to understand how real flight operations work.
It combines professional-grade calculators, visual trainers, and atmospheric models to make complex aviation concepts intuitive and interactive.
Train and Explore
• Weather & METAR/TAF Decoding
Learn to read and interpret aviation weather correctly — including visibility, clouds, RVR, trends, and remarks (RMK).
• Fully customizable duty day calculator with flexible crew rules, multiple reference time options (UTC, local, countdown), persistent results, and profile-based configurations tailored to real-world operations.
• Temperature & Altitude Corrections
Study how temperature deviations affect indicated and true altitude using ICAO Doc 8168 Simple and Accurate models.
• Holding Entry Trainer (ICAO / FAA)
Visualize Direct, Parallel, and Teardrop entries with automatic sector detection — ideal for IFR practice and theory learning.
• Descent & Approach Planning
Explore practical descent profiles.
• Turn & bank calculations for precise approach and maneuver planning.
Understand how airspeed, bank angle, and radius interact during procedure turns, holds, and intercepts.
• Crosswind & Performance Tools
Compute headwind, crosswind, and tailwind components for any runway — perfect for takeoff and landing planning.
• Conversions & Flight Calculators
Precise units for speed, distance, pressure, temperature, time, and visibility — everything a pilot needs, simplified.
• Morse & SELCAL Trainers
Practice code recognition and communication procedures in a hands-on way.
• Sunrise/Sunset & Flight Time Tools
Study local vs. UTC timing, daylight variation, and their effects on planning and navigation.
Built for Learning
GAB Aviation Tools is more than just calculators — it’s a training companion.
Every module is designed to help you see the relationships behind aviation data and understand why procedures work as they do.
