Tools for safe flying
This page aims to collect everything useful that can be needed in long-distance flying. The purpose is that you can download material here that supports both aviators and those interested in aviation. If you have a suggestion for material to add here, please let me know. Feedback can be given through the Add and change information menu.
Flight calculator
A great excel flight calculator originally made by Kari Perälä, which has been slightly updated and a few things corrected. However, as always, use is at your own risk and I hope that if you notice an error, please give feedback so that it can be fixed and a new version can be downloaded. The best feedback is always “I noticed such a mistake that I corrected, Here is the corrected version” 🙂
If you want to change Excel yourself, the protection is on, but there is no password in the protection
Free aviation apps
Airmate
Airmate is a free aviation application that uses lentopaikat.fi charts for Finnish non-controlled airports. The application is available for both Android and Apple. More information about the application: https://www.airmate.aero/Charts
Here you can download all LDG maps in one compressed .zip file. Each field is in a folder called the ICAO abbreviation, where there is an LDG map and an aerial view of the field, both in .pdf format.
The package also includes the latest Text information of all the Finnish Controlled airports and TRA, ADC, LDG and VAC maps.
This package works well e.g. in the Air Navigation Pro program.

This next package is for SkyDemo’s navigation program. LDG maps are without subfolders and the files all start with the ICAO code EFxx. When you extract the zip package and add it to the map folder of the SkyDemo program, the information is displayed for the current airport.

This package is intended for the ForeFlight navigation program and the file is named according to the Custom Content Pack so it is easy to maintain within the program.

I collected all Swedish field maps for the Air Navigation Pro program when for some reason they were not found inside ANP. The enclosed package contains maps of all Swedish managed fields, including IFR approaches, etc.
