  • estimate_flight_hoursEstimates the CO₂ from flying hours in one or more aircraft types: one row for a pilot, several rows for a fleet (a school, club or operator).No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Estimates the CO₂ from flying hours in one or more aircraft types: one row for a pilot, several rows for a fleet (a school, club or operator). CO₂ = hours × the type’s kg of CO₂ per flight hour, from its fuel flow at about 75% power. Types match by name, ICAO type designator or page slug.

      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Opens a card where the user picks a logbook export from ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot or LogTen. The card reads the file on the user’s device, uploads nothing, and shows the flight hours and CO₂ by aircraft type. The user can then share those totals with this conversation. Use it when someone wants the CO₂ of their flying from their logbook.
