How Content Is Written and Corrected
We believe aviation information should be factual, transparent, and grounded in reality. Our technical guides draw from everyday aftermarket experience and standard published references, such as Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) advisory circulars, European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) regulations, and standard aeronautical formulas.
- Calculators use standard published aviation formulas and established unit conversion constants.
- Every calculator page carries the disclaimer: "For information only — not for active flight planning or dispatch."
- We do not publish invented statistics, speculative prices, or unverified claims.
- If you spot a typo, an outdated regulatory citation, or a mathematical discrepancy, we encourage feedback. We review all reader reports and update our content promptly.
