Satellite and radar imagery

The map below shows past, current and forecast precipitation based on radar. You can look for METAR reporting stations via the buttons below the map. Additionally, the map can show current cloud coverage as seen by infrared satellite observations.

Information source

METAR/TAF information is sourced from AVWX. Weather radar and satellite imagery are gathered from Rainviewer. When radar data is outdated, a warning text will be displayed above the map. Always check that the radar and METAR data you are currently viewing is current!

Aircraft setup & calculations

This tab allows you to set up your aircraft information, perform fuel calculations and do your mass & ballance.

Current active aircraft

Cruise: 90 kn



Mass & balance inputs

Calculate the mass and balance for your currently selected aircraft.

Fuel planning

Specify your desired flight time in minutes to check how much fuel you need, and whether you have sufficient fuel on board.

Tank fill level

Flight time in minutes. Automatically set to the required amount if a route is planned on the map.

How many minutes it would take you to reach your alternate at the furthest point in your journey.

Any additional emergency flight time to keep in mind.

The altitude you will be cruising at, required to calculate climb fuel consumption. If left empty, an altitude of 1.000ft is assumed.

Center of gravity moment envelope

Your zero fuel mass, take-off mass and landing mass will be displayed below. If any of these points are outside of the envelope, your aircraft is not loaded correctly for flight!


Calculated mass and moments

This table displays the mass and calculated moment for each object onboard your aircraft. The mass and moment at take off, landing and zero fuel are highlighted and displayed in the Center of gravity moment envelope.

Aerodrome information

Use the search function to find an airport with a specific ICAO identifier.

Not a valid ICAO!

No notams found for this ICAO.

You can search for any valid ICAO code or directly by name. When searching for a name, it must be an exact match (not case sensitive).

NOTAMs

This tab allows you to collect and filter through applicable NOTAMs for your route or specific airfields.

NOTAM filter settings

Change the filters below to adjust which notams will be retrieved.

Note: NOTAMs without a maximum flight level (i.e. FL999) are always included.

Find NOTAMs

Search for NOTAMs at a specific ICAO (airport or FIR), or NOTAMs along a planned route.
Routes are planned in the 'map' section of the app.

Not a valid ICAO!

No notams found for this ICAO.

Searching along route will find any notams within 5NM of the waypoints along your route. If you waypoints are spaced far apart, some NOTAMs along the way might be missed.

No new notams found.

Settings

This tab allows you to change your preferences with regards to how the app functions. Some settings come with a higher performance penalty or battery usage. If the app performs poorly on your device, you can try to turn off some of these settings.

Main settings

Here you can change some functions relating mostly to the map and how it renders tiles or live traffic. Higher quality settings give a smoother, more high-detail experience, but they decrease battery life and may degrade performance on slower phones or tablets.

Increases the frequency at which your GPS position updates. Turn off if your battery is draining too quickly.

Increases the frequency at which traffic positions update. Turn off if your battery is draining too quickly.

If Track-up mode is enabled, the map will rotate so that your direction of travel is always pointing up. If disabled, the map will always be oriented with North pointing up. The map will only rotate when following your position using GPS.

Parallax allows traffic markers to be displayed in 3D based on their actual altitude. This setting may help you to better understand the altitude of traffic, but it may also cause performance issues on slower devices or cause confusion about the actual position of an aircraft.

Traffic maximum altitude

15000ft

Sets the maximum altitude at which traffic is still displayed. This setting can help reduce clutter on the map. Any aircraft flying higher than this altitude will not be shown on the map.

Change default location

The default location the app uses during startup for the various maps can be changed using the button below. Your current GPS location will be set as the default.

Profile options

Options relating to your profile, like server synchronization. You can choose to automatically sync your aircraft data to the server, or opt out of this and manually sync with the server if desired. You can also recover your data from the server or copy your information to another device.

If automatic syncing is enabled, any changes you make to your aircraft profiles on this device will be saved to the server.

You can reset your local aircraft profiles to default if you encounter a critical bug. This action cannot be undone! This will not affect your stored data on the server, unless you have automatic synchronization turned on.

Debug options

These options are used for debugging, Do not change these settings unless know what you're doing.
