THE HANGAR / FIELD TOOLS

Bring a little
method to the mission.

Small tools for better questions. No live airspace data, flight clearance, battery certification, or compatibility promises.

01 / BATTERY LABEL MATH

What’s the energy rating?

Enter the nominal pack voltage and the capacity from the same battery label. Do not enter the charger voltage, a single cell’s voltage for a multi-cell pack, or the USB output voltage.

14.8 V × 1,500 mAh ÷ 1,000 = 22.2 Wh

Formula: Wh = nominal V × mAh ÷ 1,000. This is label arithmetic, not usable flight energy or flight-time prediction. Use the manufacturer’s marked Wh rating for travel; ask the airline if markings or values conflict.

Method: FAA PackSafe lithium batteries · checked 19 Sep 2026. Airline and jurisdiction rules still apply.

02 / SESSION PROMPTS

Pause before takeoff.

A planning aid, not a complete or aircraft-specific preflight checklist. Check only what you have actually reviewed. A completed list does not mean a flight is legal or safe.

0 of 6 prompts reviewed

Session-only: refreshing or leaving the page clears your checks. No location, personal information, or flight records are stored or transmitted.
