SimLetsFly – Stop flying the same routes (Web App)

Featured Replies

Hey everyone, I've been working on a free web tool called SimLetsFly and wanted to share it here for some feedback.

The idea is simple — it's a random flight generator for sim pilots. You set your criteria (location, distance, airport size, runway type, fuel, nav aids) and it finds you a random departure and arrival pairing you'd never think to plan yourself. Great for bush flying, airline ops, GA — whatever you fly.

What it does:

  • Filters by continent/country/region, airport type, runway surface, length, fuel, and nav aids (ILS/VASI/ALS)
  • Pulls live METAR weather for both airports with a plain-English decoder
  • Shows distance, bearing, and estimated flight time based on your cruise speed
  • Route map with departure and arrival plotted
  • Copy a full flight brief to clipboard

Free account features:

  • Save flights to your own logbook
  • Rate your flights across 8 categories (takeoff, landing, procedures, ATC, scenery, etc.)
  • Add pilot notes and mark flights as completed
  • Share any flight via a public link — anyone can open it and save it to their own account
  • Pin your home airports as favorites

It works in the browser, no install needed. Check out the "Help" button for more information located on the site. (Feedback button is also on the help page)

Would love to hear what you think — bugs, feature ideas, anything. Still early but it's fully functional. Thanks!
