Which aircraft actually fits?
Every airplane gets the same mission and conservative planning assumptions. Custom profiles are included automatically.

Why TrueRange exists
Choose the right airplane before planning the flight.
Published range is usually a lightly loaded, carefully optimized number. TrueRange quickly tests what happens after real people, bags, reserve fuel, wind, and aircraft empty weight go aboard. Use the result to narrow a purchase, lease, rental, or charter search, then finish in ForeFlight or another approved planning workflow.
Owners and renters
Screen trips and fuel stops with the exact empty weight and fuel burn of the available airplane.
Brokers and advisors
Compare candidates on one repeatable mission instead of trading disconnected spec sheets.
Lease and charter clients
Estimate the aircraft class, fuel stops, and payload needed before requesting quotes.
Data discipline
Real sources. Visible assumptions.
Aircraft: Current manufacturer specifications seed each profile. Cruise fuel burn is a conservative, editable planning value; the actual POH and installed-equipment W&B record control.
Airports: Global airport coordinates and runway lengths are compiled from the public-domain OurAirports dataset. Confirm current airport and runway status in official publications.
Weather: METAR and TAF data come from the U.S. Aviation Weather Center API. They are context, not a legal briefing or an icing, convective, terrain, or NOTAM analysis.
Fuel price: User-entered by default because reliable worldwide pump-price data is licensed and changes locally. The provider slot is ready for a commercial airport-data key.
