FLIGHT PLANNING

Plan a flight

Look up an airport, build a route, save the flight, and open a brief. Your active aircraft can fill in the TAS and fuel-burn values you use most often.

Your next flight

Build a route or resume a saved flight.

Data sources

FAA chart tiles remain FAA-hosted. FAA terminal procedures remain tied to FAA PDF references. Current weather is requested live through PilotDesk's server endpoint and bypasses the offline cache. Aircraft-specific performance still comes from the current approved data applicable to the airplane.
