Who this is for
A pilot who wants repeatable calculation and margin practice before using an actual POH/AFM
Original fictional-aircraft exercises clearly separated from real operating data. Always use the actual approved POH/AFM for flight.
The problem
Getting the number isn't the skill — knowing whether the data is valid, the margin is real, and what it means for this flight is.
This product turns that ambiguity into a visible sequence of checks, decisions, records, and instructor conversations.

Workflow
How it works
- Complete the status and evidence pages before trying to solve the problem from memory.
- Work the decision and scenario pages using current official sources and the documents for the actual operation or aircraft.
- Mark uncertain items for a qualified instructor, physician, examiner, or FAA resource as applicable.
- Carry the action or handoff page into the next real conversation and update the plan afterward.
