What it is

Dispatch Tools is a collection of free, browser-based utilities built for the working aircraft dispatcher. Each one targets a specific part of the Part 121 and Part 135 routine — checking flow programs, decoding weather, filtering NOTAMs, running quick calculations — with no login, no install, and no clutter.

Everything runs right in your browser, designed to sit open in a spare tab next to your primary dispatch systems and give you a fast answer when you need one.

Privacy & data

No account, no sign-up. The calculators and formatters run entirely on your device — what you type into them never leaves your browser.

The live tools pull from public aviation data feeds such as the FAA ATCSCC and the Aviation Weather Center through lightweight server-side proxies, which may cache responses briefly so the same data isn't re-fetched for every visitor.

Who built it

Dispatch Tools was created by Craighton Miller, a licensed aircraft dispatcher. It began as a handful of personal scripts to speed up his own shifts and grew into the site you're using today, with new tools and refinements added as ideas come up.
