A pilot’s app that feels like a cockpit upgrade.
Built by a commercial helicopter pilot for others who love flying and love great tools.
Tool in the Cockpit simplifies your preflight and in-flight routine — not just to save time, but to make flying more focused, more enjoyable, and more professional.

In-flight screen with relative wind, hover ceilings, density altitude, power limits, Vne, and more

Sign, save, and email W&B sheets in seconds
METARs and TAFs in two taps — enter ICAOs, hit send, and print
Warning light references pulled straight from the POH
HIGE / HOGE Hover ceiling charts
Fuel and weight shown in kg, lbs, litres, gallons, and percent
Offline unit converter with all the aviation-specific tools you need
Auto-generated PDFs for nav logs
As a working pilot, you know how fast things change — extra luggage, a fuel top-up, a last-minute detour. This app lets you recalculate performance or W&B right there in the cockpit, without switching apps or flipping through paper.
Whether you’re flying an R22 or a B3, training or flying charters, Tool in the Cockpit keeps your flying sharp, confident, and stress-free.
R22 and AS350 are always free. For R44, R66, and other machines start a free trial and unlock full capability.
1) Bug Fixed: tapping a saved aircraft on the home screen now opens that aircraft, not an R22. Its weight and balance opens ready to go.
2) Delete saved aircraft: use the bin next to it in the weight and balance drawer, or Delete aircraft at the bottom of edit mode. You type the aircraft's name to confirm, so nothing is deleted by accident.
