A quick tour

The parts pilots use most, as they look in the app.

Chart of the United States by the FAA

Map, layers and official charts

Aerodromes, airspace, navaids, obstacles, named reporting points and ATS routes, over the base map or satellite imagery. Official charts to download for Argentina, Spain, France and Portugal, and the FAA's VFR chart of the United States, online and always at the current edition.

  • Layers you switch on for the flight
  • Downloadable charts to fly without a connection
  • US chart online, always current
PFD with VOR needle and CDI
PFD with GPS guidance

PFD with VOR and CDI

Horizon, a large compass rose and speed, altitude and heading tapes. Pick VOR 1 or VOR 2, turn the OBS knob and read TO/FROM and the needle, or follow the CDI by GPS. Wind and flight data always in view.

  • VOR 1 and VOR 2 with OBS
  • CDI by GPS or by VOR
  • Wind and GPS data
Flight plan
Terrain profile with airspace

Flight plans

Type the route (SADF ATOVO SAEZ) and the app finds the aerodromes, reporting points and navaids, or build it by tapping the map. DIRECT TO from any point, estimated time, and a terrain profile with the airspace you cross.

  • Typed route and DIRECT TO
  • Terrain profile with airspace
  • ANAC/EANA form for Argentina and the ICAO FPL message
Aerodrome card with weather and DIRECT TO
Winds aloft by hour

Aerodromes and weather

Tap an aerodrome for the METAR and TAF, runways, the best runway with headwind and crosswind, NOTAMs and QNH. Winds aloft, hour by hour, come from a model and refresh by themselves.

  • METAR/TAF and best runway
  • Winds aloft by hour
  • Card with DIRECT TO
Logbook
Recorded flights with their tracks

Logbook and recorded flights

It detects takeoff and landing, records the track and builds your logbook with departure and arrival aerodromes, time and aircraft. See each flight on the map and export the logbook whenever you want.

  • Automatic takeoff and landing
  • The track of every flight
  • Export

And also

Smaller things that make a difference.

Shared points

Mark visual references and obstacles and share them with other pilots. The developer reviews them before anyone else sees them.

Compass rose and calculator

A compass rose with an OBS knob over the map, and a flight calculator one tap away.

Air traffic

Live traffic around you on the map, from adsb.fi.

Several languages

Spanish, English, German, Italian, French and Portuguese.

No account needed

Almost everything works without signing in. An account only syncs your aircraft, logbook and shared points.

Your data

Your position and sensors stay on the phone. You can delete your account from the app at any time.

Charts and data

Official charts by country and open aeronautical data, with their credit in plain sight.
