Pilots' Toolbox

Pilot's Toolbox

I have been using Pilot's Toolbox for a few moths now and I find it as one of the most useful Apps I have on my iPhone. The best thing about it is that it works without GPRS/3G connectivity and is available in the air. The function I have been using the most this winter is the Runway Report feature. You simply tap in the runway state code and it decodes it for you into plain language. Pilot's Toolbox can calculate the recommended hold over times (HOT) for you when you are de-icing. Remember, this information is not for operational use!
