Pilot Toolkit: Pilot Logbook, Currency, Weather and Checkride Study App
Know you're current, read the weather in plain English, do the flight math with the work shown, and study for the knowledge test, all in one app.
Pilot Toolkit is an app for student and private pilots, for your phone, tablet or computer. It installs from your browser (no app store) and costs one payment. Planning aid, not for navigation.
AM I CURRENT? • Day and night passenger currency (14 CFR 61.57(a) and (b)), plus tailwheel full-stop landings • Flight review (61.56) and medical by your age at the exam (61.23), or BasicMed • IFR currency (61.57(c)) with the 6-month grace window • Reminders 30 and 7 days ahead that you can add to your phone's calendar
WEATHER IN PLAIN ENGLISH • Add your airports: the raw METAR plus a plain-English reading, and the TAF too • VFR / MVFR / IFR / LIFR at a glance • Density altitude and the best runway for the wind • GO / NO-GO against the personal minimums you set with your instructor (based on the FAA Personal Minimums Checklist) • Sunrise, sunset and the two FAA "night" times for your airport • Weather data from the NOAA Aviation Weather Center. Not an official weather briefing: always get a standard briefing before you fly.
13 FLIGHT TOOLS, WITH THE WORK SHOWN • Wind & heading, crosswind (checked against your own limit), true airspeed • Density altitude, cloud base, top of descent, turns & load factor • Fuel with reserves, time-speed-distance, conversions • Weight & balance for your own aircraft (from your POH numbers), with the CG envelope at takeoff and landing • Nav log that prints for your kneeboard • Tap "Show the math" on any result to see how it was worked out
STUDY FOR THE KNOWLEDGE TEST • 304 original questions mapped to the Private Pilot Airman Certification Standards (FAA-S-ACS-6C) • Each answer explains why and names its FAA source • Today's drill, Quick 10, your weak areas, or drill one ACS area • A 60-question practice test with the answers at the end, 70% to pass • Questions you miss come back sooner (spaced review)
LOGBOOK, ENDORSEMENTS, CHECKRIDE READINESS • Log flights: day landings, night full-stop landings, approaches, holding, cross-country, instrument time • Totals, plus progress bars for your private pilot hours (61.109) • Import a CSV from ForeFlight, MyFlightbook, Garmin Pilot, LogTen or a spreadsheet (you review it before anything is added) • Endorsements: track what your instructor has signed (titles follow AC 61-65K) and when it runs out • Checkride readiness: hours, tests, endorsements and documents in one list • Your own checklists from your POH, tap through them

IMPORTANT: Planning aid, not for navigation. Pilot Toolkit is not FAA-approved or certified, and it does not replace your POH/AFM, an official weather briefing, your instructor or your own judgment. The pilot in command is responsible for the safety of the flight. For ages 18+. One purchase = your Google account on all your own devices. This is a digital app; nothing is shipped.
