Step 1 · Calculate wind at target altitude by GPWT (You can skip this and go straight to Step 2)
Altitude block A
Altitude block B
Prefer an altitude between A and B; if out of range, result will be an extrapolation.
Wind dir at target (M · from)

Note: This page does not provide a direct True→Magnetic conversion. Doing the mental math for True→Magnetic during planning helps build robust habits (variation/deviation contexts often cause errors). Practice it deliberately 😉
Step 2 · TRK + wind → MH & GS (Pre-fills from Step 1 when available; you can overwrite here)

Pre-filled from Step 1; editing here clears Step 1.
MH (magnetic heading)

GS (ground speed)

Step 3 · ETI (Estimated Time Interval)
DIST links to the leg template; manual edits will clear the selection.
ETI

Formula: ETI = DIST / GS × 60
Step 4 · Trip fuel

Trip fuel = ETI / 60 × Fuel flow (rounded up to whole litres)
