Precision first
Every calculation is built from published aircraft data and validated against real-world POH figures, so pilots can trust the numbers on the ramp.
Digitizing General Aviation
Modern software for the flight deck & the hangar
Aviation Research Group builds precise, pilot-first digital tools that replace paper charts, manual weight & balance sheets, and spreadsheet aircraft logs with fast, reliable apps.

Why we exist
General aviation still runs on paper. We're changing that.
Thousands of pilots still calculate weight & balance by hand, track maintenance in spreadsheets, and flip through paper POHs. Aviation Research Group builds trustworthy digital tools that make preflight planning faster, safer, and repeatable — without losing the rigor pilots depend on.
Built for the cockpit
Native, offline-capable apps designed for tablets and phones — fast where connectivity is limited and glare is high.
Safety by design
Clear envelope visualizations, guardrails, and warnings help catch out-of-limits conditions before wheels leave the ground.
The platform
One modern foundation for aviation tools
We build on a shared, well-tested engineering platform so every app inherits the same reliable calculation core, aircraft data model, and clean interface standards.
- ✓Reusable, unit-tested calculation engine for weight & balance and performance
- ✓Customizable aircraft profiles for the full general aviation fleet
- ✓Secure accounts and cloud sync, with offline-first reliability
- ✓Native iOS builds engineered to Apple's platform standards
