Quick Reference
Nautical to Statute Miles
NM × 1.151 = SM
Example: 100 NM = 115.1 SM
When used: Converting aviation distances for ground planning
Knots to Miles per Hour
KT × 1.151 = MPH
Example: 100 KT = 115.1 MPH
When used: Ground speed calculations
Pressure Altitude
(29.92 - Current Setting) × 1000 + Field Elevation
Example: (29.92 - 30.15) × 1000 + 1000 = 770 ft
When used: Performance calculations
Celsius to Fahrenheit
°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
Example: 15°C = 59°F
When used: Temperature conversions
Fahrenheit to Celsius
°C = (°F - 32) × 5/9
Example: 68°F = 20°C
When used: International weather reports
Fuel Weight (100LL)
Gallons × 6.0 = Pounds
Example: 50 gal = 300 lbs
When used: Weight and balance calculations
Fuel Weight (Jet A)
Gallons × 6.7 = Pounds
Example: 100 gal = 670 lbs
When used: Turbine aircraft calculations
Hectopascals to Inches Hg
hPa ÷ 33.864 = inHg
Example: 1013 hPa = 29.92 inHg
When used: Altimeter setting conversions
True Heading
Magnetic Heading + Variation = True Heading
Example: 090° + 10°E = 100°T
When used: Navigation calculations
Density Altitude (ISA)
PA + (120 × (OAT - ISA Temp))
Example: 2000 + (120 × (25 - 11)) = 3680 ft
When used: Performance planning
Aviation Calculators

Specialized calculations for flight planning and performance

Pressure Altitude Calculator

Calculate pressure altitude from field elevation and altimeter setting

What You Can Do

8 Conversion Categories

Distance, speed, altitude, temperature, pressure, volume, weight, and fuel — all the categories pilots encounter in training and flight planning.

Batch Conversions

Convert a single value across multiple target units at once. No need to run the same conversion repeatedly.

Quick Reference Guide

Common conversion factors and rules of thumb are built in so you can double-check your mental math.

Why Pilots Use This

Aviation uses a mix of imperial, metric, and nautical units that trips up even experienced pilots. Nautical miles for distance, feet for altitude, knots for airspeed, inches of mercury for pressure — getting a conversion wrong during flight planning can have real safety consequences.

  • Unit conversion questions appear on every FAA knowledge exam
  • Eliminates mental math errors during time-sensitive flight planning
  • Covers aviation-specific units you won't find in generic converters
