Calculators for the PPL theory
Updated:
In short
Three calculators help with the theory and in practice: the deadline calculator shows by when you must pass all subjects, the crosswind calculator splits the wind into crosswind and headwind, and the unit converter handles knots, feet, nautical miles, hectopascals and temperatures.
