AIRCRAFT PROFILES

Aircraft

Keep the airplane-specific numbers you reach for during planning in one place. Set an active aircraft and PilotDesk can reuse its route, fuel, loading, airport, and training context.

ACTIVE AIRCRAFT

Active aircraft

Choose an active aircraft to reuse its planning values across PilotDesk.

Keep the source with the airplane.

A saved profile is a convenience copy, not the aircraft record. Put the POH/AFM revision or current weight-and-balance date in the profile, and recheck the numbers after equipment, maintenance, or weighing changes.

Weight & balance · POH chart practice · Performance reference

Use current approved aircraft data. A Hangar profile is only a saved copy. PilotDesk does not verify POH/AFM limitations, current equipment, maintenance changes, weight-and-balance revisions, or airworthiness.

Saved aircraft

Stored only on this device.

Free includes 1 aircraft profile. Pro removes the Free-plan cap and adds manual cloud backup/restore. Aircraft and flights stay in this browser; they do not sync automatically.

Leave anything you do not use blank. Keep the source/revision note current so you know where the numbers came from.

Weight & balance stations — one per line: Name, default weight, armDefault weight may be 0. The W&B Builder lets departure and landing weights differ.

Optional CG envelope boundary — one per line: CG inches, weight poundsThis is user-entered reference data. Do not copy an envelope from another serial number, configuration, category, or loading condition unless it is actually applicable.

Aircraft notes

Clearing browser/site data removes local profiles. Export Hangar creates a JSON backup you can keep or move to another device. Imported values should be checked against current approved aircraft data before use.
