Each georeferenced chart has the coordinates of its boundaries. The app uses these coordinates to place the chart exactly where it belongs on the map, and your position appears on top of the procedure drawing.

How to use

  1. Open an aerodrome and choose the chart.
  2. Tap show on map.
  3. Fly following the aircraft over the procedure.

Offline and on the AIRAC cycle

Download before you leave and get notified when a new cycle is published.

How it works

Charts are published by the authorities in 28 day AIRAC cycles. The app downloads the charts to the device, so they open without internet, and notifies you when a new cycle comes out so you can update before the flight.

How to use

  1. Download the charts for the flight's aerodromes while online.
  2. In flight, open them as usual: they are on the device.
  3. When the new cycle notice appears, update.

How to use

  1. Open the chart on the tablet.
  2. Tap split screen.
  3. Choose map or synthetic vision for the other side.
