Useless as is. Needs to be combined with something like <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.greatcirclemap.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.greatcirclemap.com</a><p>Also winds&#x2F;jet stream at actual flight level at the time flown, and finally the price of Jet-A(1)&#x2F;B at the involved FBOs.<p>Or just use something made by Jeppesen, Universal Weather and Aviation, Air Routing International, ForeFlight, ...<p>Or use the stuff built into the flight deck of any contemporary Jet not belonging into a museeum :)<p>Or let the pilots handle that, which come with the Jet, anyways, when you charter one.<p>Delegate!

This is way more useful to calculate other people’s private jet carbon footprints.<p>Or at least in my case it is.

no way to enter cruise speed or altitude. i guess i could just multiply the fuel burned by some number and get better results. but i don&#x27;t even know how much fuel i buy, it&#x27;s so cheap.
