Airport detail with live METAR conditions

Airports & weather

Every airport, fully briefed

Tap any of 72,000 airports for runways, frequencies and coordinates — alongside live METAR and TAF with colour-coded flight conditions, so VFR, MVFR, IFR and LIFR are obvious at a glance.

  • Wind, visibility, ceiling, temperature and fog risk
  • Coordinates in decimal or DMS, ready to copy
The layers panel with saved layer sets

See exactly what you need

Toggle airports, navaids, waypoints, airspace, weather, traffic and your own annotations in a tap — and save three Layer Sets so the chart is configured for exactly how you fly.

  • Three saved Layer Sets for cruise, approach or planning
  • Topographical shading with contour levels in feet and metres
Trip planning panel

Trip planning

Plan a route in seconds

Build, edit and store routes by tapping airports, waypoints, VORs and NDBs — or by entering ICAO/IATA codes. See leg and total distances, drag waypoints on the map, and share with GPX import & export.

  • Drag & drop waypoints directly on the chart
  • Total trip length and per-leg distances
  • GPX import/export and cloud sync across your devices
Downloads tab with offline maps and data

Connectivity shouldn’t limit your situational awareness. Download map regions, aviation data and auto-synced METAR/TAF before you go — then fly with the full chart and no signal.

  • Downloadable offline map regions
  • Offline aviation database, cached by country
  • Weather auto-sync keeps METAR & TAF current

  • METAR, TAF and SNOWTAM decoders
  • De-icing holdover times and military METAR colour codes
  • Converters, crosswind and climb-gradient calculators
  • ICAO prefixes, VOLMET, Morse, country and registration data
