Crew ToolsBuilt from the workflow.
Crew Tools began with a simple observation from the flight deck: recurring planning and reference tasks may be small on their own, but the information around them is often scattered. The idea is to bring those moments into one calm, transparent workspace.
Start with the work. Keep the human in view.
The project is being shaped around real, repeatable workflow moments—not technology for its own sake. Each idea is reduced to the information a crew needs to see, the assumptions that must stay visible, and the point where an approved source or professional judgment remains controlling.
Observe the friction
Begin with recurring tasks that interrupt the flow: fuel comparisons, quick calculations, reference lookups, and simple records worth keeping.
Keep the picture visible
Present inputs, assumptions, and limits alongside the result so a crew can understand what the tool did and verify what matters.
Respect the boundary
Design Crew Tools as a supplemental aid. Current approved sources, company procedures, Dispatch, ATC, and pilot judgment remain authoritative.
Turn practical aviation insight into focused digital tools that help crews work with greater clarity, awareness, and care.
Built in phases.
Tested with purpose.
This is a working roadmap. Sequence and scope may change as the product is tested and the evidence improves.
Concept & workflow definition
Identify recurring cockpit tasks, map where information becomes scattered, and define a focused set of supplemental tools.
Build & internal refinement
Refine Score Card, Holding Fuel, Runway Slope, and generic E170/E175 reference views with attention to clarity, consistency, and fail-closed behavior.
Limited beta testing
Invite a small pilot group to provide structured feedback on usability, clarity, workflow fit, and reliability.
Learn, refine & decide
Address findings, expand carefully, and make any broader-release decision based on evidence and readiness—not the calendar alone.

CREW TOOLS
Built for the flight deck. Crew Tools brings focused calculations, trusted reference lookups, and structured briefing utilities into one fast, local-first iPhone app.
Key features
• Aircraft type based performance calculator
• Holding fuel planning calculator
• Arrival/departure procedure insights tool
Designed and reviewed by current airline pilots, who are invested in streamlined and safe flight operations. Crew Tools is a supplemental planning and reference aid—not operator, dispatch, or company authority.
