Getting Started

Prerequisites:

• Node.js v18+ recommended
• npm or yarn

Installation:

• git clone https://github.com/robfernan/AviationPro.git
• cd AviationPro
• npm install
• npm run dev

Open http://localhost:5173 in your browser.

Feature Guide

Flight Planner

• Enter aircraft info (type, tail number, pilot)
• Set departure and destination airports
• Add/remove checkpoints dynamically
• Enter altitude, course, distance, and fuel for each leg
• Configure VOR navigation (frequency, radial, identifier)
• Review automatic totals for distance, time, and fuel
• Export flight plan (print/download)
• Access the 8-section user guide for step-by-step planning

CX-6 Flight Computer

• Wind triangle calculations (headwind, crosswind, tailwind)
• Fuel calculations (trip, reserve, endurance)
• Time-speed-distance: TAS, GS, distance, time
• Pressure altitude and density altitude conversions
• Multiple calculator modes in one interface

Weather Tools

• Density altitude and pressure altitude calculations
• Cloud base approximation (temperature/dew point)
• Performance warnings for high density altitude
• ISA deviation display (temperature vs. standard atmosphere)
• Tabbed interface for easy switching

Weight & Balance

• Enter weights for pilot, passengers, fuel, cargo
• Center of gravity (CG) envelope calculations
• Moment calculations (weight × arm)
• Safety alerts for out-of-limits conditions

Navigation Tools

• Distance calculations (great circle, rhumb line)
• Bearing calculations (true/magnetic)
• Unit conversions (NM, SM, KM)
• Coordinate conversions (lat/lon formats)
• Aviation weather service links
• Time zone converter (UTC/local)

Flight Logs

• Digital logbook with local storage
• Log date, aircraft, route, times, conditions
• Automatic calculations (block time, flight time, fuel used)
• Export logs for records

Troubleshooting

• Vite 404 Error: Ensure index.html exists at project root.
• Build Failures: Run npm install to restore dependencies.
• Port Conflicts: Vite runs on port 5173 by default.
• Dark Mode Issues: Ensure Tailwind dark mode is configured.
• General Tips: Use browser dev tools, check console for TypeScript errors, and use the dark mode toggle in the header.

Enhancement Roadmap

• Fuel planning calculator (trip, reserve, fuel stops)
• Crosswind calculator (runway wind component)
• Aircraft performance calculator (takeoff/landing distance)
• METAR/TAF integration (real weather data)
• Airport database (info, frequencies, charts)
• Time zone converter improvements
• VFR/IFR minimums reference
• Digital flight plan filing
• Route optimization
• Aircraft profile management
• Integration with ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot, FlightAware, NOTAMs
• UI/UX improvements (mobile, keyboard shortcuts, import/export, print templates, offline mode)
