FSX Pilot Tools - Your Flight Sim Cockpit Companion

Built for serious simulator pilots, FSX Pilot Tools brings airport search, ILS lookup, route planning, AI simulator briefs and essential flight utilities into one clean, fast cockpit app.

Whether you fly FSX, Prepar3D, X-Plane or Microsoft Flight Simulator, FSX Pilot Tools helps you find the information you need quickly, without digging through charts, menus or browser tabs mid-session.

NEW: Choose Your Airport Database
FSX Pilot Tools now includes database selection. Use the original FSX Database for the standard Microsoft Flight Simulator X data set, or switch to the Updated FSX Database based on our expanded airport data.

The Updated FSX Database includes additional and modified airport, runway and ILS records, and will continue to be refreshed in future App Store updates.

What’s Included

Airport & ILS Database
Search a built-in local airport database with thousands of airports and ILS runway records.

Find airport data by ICAO, airport name, city, country, runway, frequency or ILS identifier. View runway references, ILS frequencies, headings, approach details and communication frequencies from one place.

The app shows the selected database version, airport count and ILS record count directly inside the app, so you always know which data package you are using.

Fast ILS Lookup

Quickly search ILS approaches and view the key values that matter most:

. ILS frequency
. Localizer heading
. Runway reference
. ILS name and identifier
. Airport details
. Surface and runway information

Smart Route Planning
Plan direct great-circle routes between airports with distance, estimated time, bearings, fuel estimate and map preview.

The Route Planner includes:

. Departure and arrival airport selection
. Cruise speed input
. Fuel estimate
. Distance and time calculation
. Initial and arrival bearings
. Route map preview
. Exportable route PDF

AI Simulator Route Brief
On supported devices, Apple Intelligence can generate a plain-language simulator route brief from your selected route.

Use it to review route overview, navigation notes, time and fuel information and simulator reminders before your flight.

AI route briefs are designed for simulator use only and are not for real-world aviation operations.

Essential Pilot Utilities

FSX Pilot Tools includes practical flight sim calculators and utilities for fast cockpit checks:

. Distance Calculator
. Route Planner
. Fuel Calculator
. Descent Calculator
. Top of Climb Calculator
. Crosswind Calculator
. Winds Aloft tools

Built for Simmers
FSX Pilot Tools is made for virtual pilots who want reliable information quickly.

No clutter. No complicated setup. No unnecessary distractions.

Just the airport, ILS, route and utility data you need, presented in a polished cockpit-style interface that feels right at home beside your simulator.

Offline Local Database
The core airport, runway and ILS data is stored locally on your device, giving you fast access without needing an internet connection during your sim session.

Why FSX Pilot Tools?

Use FSX Pilot Tools to:

. Find airport data fast
. Choose between original and updated airport databases
. Look up ILS frequencies and headings
. Prepare routes before departure
. Generate simulator route briefs
. Estimate time, fuel and descent
. Keep key cockpit references in one place
. Fly with more structure and confidence

From a quick ILS into Gatwick to a long-haul route across the Atlantic, FSX Pilot Tools gives you a cleaner, smarter way to prepare and fly.

Important

FSX Pilot Tools is built for flight simulation and training entertainment only. It must not be used for real-world flight planning, navigation, weather, NOTAMs, ATC guidance or operational aviation decisions.

Plan smarter. Fly better. Make every sim session more professional with FSX Pilot Tools.
