What's new in FLIGHT Checklist

What's New

• Top of Climb and Descent Rate modes in the Descent Calculator. Plan where you will reach cruise altitude from your climb rate and ground speed, or get the exact vertical speed needed to make a crossing restriction from your distance to go.
• Aircraft presets in Weight & Balance - pick a Cessna 172S, 172R, 172N, 150M, Cirrus SR22, or Bonanza G36 and the stations, fuel capacity, and CG envelope load automatically. The results now clearly state whether you are inside the envelope and under max takeoff weight, with the forward limit adjusting to your actual weight.
• Terrain profile in the SimBrief OFP Preview - import your flight plan and see the ground elevation along your filed route, with the highest terrain marked so you can check it against your planned cruise altitude.

Improvements

• Route Planner and Range Map are now one tool. The interactive globe shows your aircraft's range rings (ferry, typical, bingo, and current load), lets you set fuel and payload, and filters destinations by flight time or reach - including the curated scenic routes. Old Range Map links take you to the right place automatically.
• The Crosswind Calculator now explains headwind and tailwind components, the quick clock method for estimating crosswind in your head, and how to go from wind components to a heading - with a direct path to the Wind Correction Angle tool.
• The airspeed tool now leads with what most pilots come for: converting indicated airspeed to true airspeed, with Mach and speed of sound alongside.
• Clearer answers across the tools: pressure altitude explained in the Density Altitude calculator, E6B-style conversions called out in the Unit Converter, and worked examples added to several tool guides.
• The Pilot Tools rail now only shows on very wide monitors (1900px and above) on the home page and aircraft sub-pages, so it no longer crowds the main content on laptop and standard desktop screens.
• Typography improvements for better readability. Labels, badges, form hints, checklist notes, and nav text that previously rendered as small as 12px now have a 14px minimum, especially helpful on mobile. Genuine footnotes and captions (image credits, the sidebar footer) keep their smaller size.

Bug Fixes

• All performance tools now use the exact standard temperature lapse rate (1.98 C per 1,000 ft). The Density Altitude calculator previously used a rounded value, which could shift results by a few feet.

What's New

• Elevation Profile tool - pick a departure and destination airport and see the ground elevation along your route on an interactive chart, with the highest terrain marked so you know what's ahead.
• Airport Charts - search any airport and jump straight to its charts on SkyVector, ChartFox, and the FAA's official chart search.

Improvements

• Airport Charts now sits at the top of the sidebar's Explore section for quicker access.
• Refreshed the About page with the current aircraft count and feature list.

• Refreshed the homepage with a clearer "Choose Your Simulator" section so you can jump straight into MSFS, DCS, or Falcon BMS.
• Updated and sharpened aircraft photos across the fleet for a more consistent look.
• Unified the visual style across all simulators for a cleaner, more consistent experience everywhere in the app.
• Added emergency procedures, quick reference data, and keybinds for the newly added aircraft.

What's New

We're excited to announce FLIGHT Checklist v2.0, a major milestone that brings a completely refreshed experience from top to bottom.

• A complete visual redesign from the ground up: a fresh deep-blue and yellow color scheme, new typography, and a redesigned logo.
• A new persistent sidebar so your simulators, pilot tools, and checklists are always one click away, no matter where you are in the app.
• Flight Map: a new tool to plot your trips on an interactive map and total up your travels.

Improvements

• Redesigned homepage with clearer simulator cards, an easier-to-scan favorites row, and faster access to the Route Planner.
• Rebuilt aircraft browser: filter the fleet by manufacturer, browse airframes grouped together, and see at-a-glance fleet stats. Filters now stay in view as you scroll.
• Redesigned custom checklist manager with a cleaner card-based layout that makes your saved checklists easier to find and manage.
• Refreshed content and information pages for a more consistent, readable experience across the whole site.
• Polished error and "page not found" screens that match the new design.
• Added a Feedback link in the navigation so it is easier to tell us what you think.

What's New

• Custom checklist builder - create your own startup checklists for any aircraft or procedure. Add phases and steps, flag steps with notes, cautions, and warnings, then fly them with the same tap-to-complete interface as the built-in checklists. Reach it from the new "Create Checklist" button in the top bar or the "My Checklists" page.
• Start from an existing checklist - pick any built-in aircraft, load its checklist as a starting point, and tweak it to match your own flow.
• Import and export - save any checklist to a file to back it up or share it with other pilots, and import checklist files (including the built-in ones) to customize them. Your checklists stay private to your browser.
• Run, print, and reset - custom checklists remember your progress, print to a clean pen-and-paper version, and reset, just like the built-in ones.

Improvements

• Added a "Create Checklist" button to the top navigation and a "Make Your Own" shortcut on the home page so a blank checklist is always one tap away.

Improvements

• Tool pages redesigned - every calculator and decoder now uses a two-column layout. The tool sits on the left; a contextual guide sits on the right with a description of what the tool does, step-by-step usage instructions, tips, the underlying formula, and answers to common questions.
• Better readability - all text in the tool guides is now a minimum of 14px with more breathing room between sections, making it easier to read at a glance while flying.
• 16 tools updated - the new layout covers every tool except the Range Map and Route Planner, which keep their full-width map view: Crosswind Calculator, Descent Calculator, Density Altitude, Airspeed Converter, Fuel Calculator, Fuel Converter, Weight & Balance, Landing Distance, Takeoff Distance, Holding Pattern, Wind Correction Angle, Equal Time Point, METAR Decoder, TAF Decoder, Time/Speed/Distance, True Altitude, Unit Converter, and SimBrief Preview.

What's New

• Checklist ratings - a "Rate this checklist" button now appears below the aircraft image on every checklist page. Click it to rate accuracy, say whether you'd recommend the app, and leave a note if anything seems off. Responses go straight to the team.
• Feedback page - new /feedback page for general thoughts, feature requests, star ratings, and anything else you want to share.

Improvements

• Removed the light/dark theme toggle - the app is now dark-only, which is how most pilots use it and keeps the cockpit feel consistent across all devices.

What's New

• Route Planner - new tool to discover where to fly from any departure airport. Pick an aircraft, choose a flight time bracket (under 1h, 1-3h, 3-6h, or max range), and the map fills with reachable destinations as clickable dots. Tap any dot to see distance and estimated flight time, or use the search box to set a specific destination. Curated highlights (scenic routes, must-visit airports) are marked in orange with star ratings. Filter by destination type - mountains, coastal, historic, island, and more. Works on desktop and mobile.

Improvements

• Navigation tools menu - the Tools dropdown is now a full-width panel organised into five categories: Weather, Performance, Navigation, Planning, and Conversion. Each tool shows its icon, name, and a one-line description so you can find what you need at a glance. The menu is now consistently amber on every page regardless of simulator theme.
• Airport dots on the route planner - dots are now fully opaque and have a larger invisible tap area, making them much easier to click on both desktop and mobile.
• Route planner homepage card - replaced the animated SVG world map with a clean solid-color card that loads instantly and matches the rest of the tools grid.

Bug Fixes

• Route planner map clicks - clicking an airport dot to set it as a destination now works immediately from the first tap, before any destination has been manually set. The root cause was the aircraft range circle rendering on top of all the airport dots in the map layer stack and intercepting every click.
• Route planner hover tooltips - hovering over airport dots now correctly shows the airport name and distance tooltip from the start of a session.
• Map dot deselect toggle removed - clicking the same dot twice no longer cleared the destination. Destinations can now only be cleared via the search field's X button, which was the intended behaviour.

What's New

• Range Map v2 - completely rebuilt range planning tool. Search any of 4,500+ real-world airports by ICAO code or name for both departure and arrival. The map now shows all airports as clickable dots - tap any one to set it as your destination. A guided tutorial walks you through every feature (hit "How it works" in the toolbar). Full mobile support with a bottom-sheet panel that slides up over the globe.

• Guided tutorial - six-step interactive tour explains the range map from aircraft selection through to layers and filters. Navigate with Next/Prev buttons, keyboard arrows, or skip at any time.

• In-range filter - toggle "In-range airports only" in the Layers panel to instantly hide every airport your aircraft cannot reach given the current fuel load and payload.

New Aircraft

• MSFS 2024: Inibuilds A350-900
• DCS World: C-130J Super Hercules

Improvements

• Airport database - range map now sources from a full global dataset of 4,500+ airports (all large airports plus scheduled medium airports), replacing the previous hand-picked list of ~200
• Route card - departure and arrival searches are now grouped as a single FROM / TO pair with a colour-coded result card (green = reachable, red = out of range) showing distance and estimated flight time
• Sidebar layout - each section uses consistent padding and dividers; payload sliders are more compact; "Legend" renamed to "Layers"
• Mobile - range map is now fully usable on phones: the globe fills the screen, config opens as a swipeable bottom sheet, and the FAB ("Flight Config") re-opens it from the map
• Range circles - fixed a rendering issue on the globe projection where large circles (long-haul aircraft) were cut off. Outlines now use a separate geometry that renders correctly at any range

What's New

• Voice Mode ✈️🎙️ - run any checklist completely hands-free. Enable voice mode from the checklist toolbar and the app reads each step aloud. Say "check" or "checked" to advance to the next step. Phase transitions are announced automatically ("Phase 2 - Engine Start"). Hover the VOICE button to select which microphone to use. Requires Chrome or Edge - see browser requirements for details. Huge thanks to u/wax469 🙌⭐ for this brilliant suggestion!

• Range Map - visualise how far your aircraft can fly from any airport on an interactive world map. Available on each aircraft's checklist page and as a standalone tool under Pilot Tools

On by default

• Fuel Unit Converter - convert between kg, lbs, US gallons, UK gallons, and litres for Avgas 100LL, Jet-A, and Diesel/AVTUR. Useful for cross-referencing flight plan fuel loads across different aircraft and sims
• Time-Speed-Distance Calculator - E6B-style TSD solver. Enter any two values (time, speed, or distance) to instantly calculate the third. Great for quick leg planning without pulling out the full flight computer
• Wind Correction Angle Calculator - enter your true airspeed, wind direction/speed, and desired track to get the heading to fly, plus groundspeed and headwind/tailwind component
