Mission Fuel

Fast, reliable fuel checks and planning for pilots. Burn rate, bingo fuel, and VFR/IFR reserves — calculated in seconds, right in the cockpit.

Mission Fuel is a fast, no-frills fuel-management tool built for pilots who need reliable numbers in the cockpit — not a cluttered flight-planning suite. Originally built around the needs of military rotary-wing aircrew, it works just as well for any fixed-wing or helicopter pilot who wants a straight answer on fuel state.

FUEL CHECK Start the timer with your current fuel load, fly your mission, and check in whenever you need an update. Mission Fuel calculates your cumulative average burn rate, projected burnout time, and exactly when you'll hit your VFR and IFR reserves — all in local or Zulu time, your choice. Set a bingo fuel threshold and get a clear visual warning once you've passed it.

CONTINUE TO MONITOR See how much fuel you burned between checks, and get a forward-looking projection of your fuel state 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes from now if your current burn rate holds.

MISSION FUEL PLANNING Dial in your planned mission time (or use Syllabus Mode for tenths-of-an-hour training blocks) and your burn rate to see fuel required for the mission, plus fuel required with VFR or IFR reserve built in.

IFR CLIMB PERFORMANCE Enter climb speed and required climb gradient to get your required rate of climb in feet per minute — fast math for briefings and departure planning.

FUEL CONVERSION Quickly convert between pounds and gallons using standard Jet A weight (6.7 lbs/gal).

BUILT FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY FLY

• Switch between pounds and gallons throughout the app
• Track external tank fuel separately from main tank
• Optional reminders to check fuel at the intervals you set
• Every number stays on your device — no accounts, no cloud sync, nothing to configure
• Clean, high-contrast dark interface designed to be legible in a cockpit

Mission Fuel is an independent planning aid and is not affiliated with, and does not replace, your aircraft's approved flight manual, unit standard operating procedures, or official flight planning tools. Always verify fuel calculations against your governing publications.
