FLIGHT PLANNING FEATURES

- SkyDemon vector charts are the clearest aeronautical charts you'll ever use, with dynamic airspace clipping and choice of map layers

- Route planning is as simple as touching consecutive waypoints and dragging to make changes

- Virtual Radar shows how your route relates to airspace, terrain, obstructions and other features

- Pilot Log facility calculates headings and groundspeeds from actual wind data, and shows useful frequencies

- Plates and other documents for relevant airfields are displayed automatically as you plan, and many are available georeferenced for use in flight

- Intuitive pan, pinch and rotate support with no loss of map clarity or text legibility

- File a VFR flightplan for your route directly to air traffic controllers

- Automatic TAF, METAR and SIGMET briefing as you plan a route, with graphical decoding

- Rainfall data can be overlaid on the main map, with animation, showing the trend of rainfall over time

- Integration of GAFOR route forecasts for Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia and Croatia

- Both narrow-route and area NOTAM briefings available, updated as you plan

- Advanced NOTAM graphical interpretation and depiction on the main map

- Easily print your PLOG and the output from various briefings

- Warnings for airspace and other potential hazards to your flight, updated in real time

- Airfield Admin Information shows useful contacts and other details for airfields featured in our charts

- Forecast winds aloft are automatically retrieved for the flight time and displayed on the map

- Create an advanced flight performance profile for each aircraft you use

- ATS Routes mode offers an alternative chart presentation for flight along airways

- Accurate fuel, weight and balance calculations including flight costings

- Create an unlimited number of user-defined waypoints

- Analyse your track logs for posterity

- Choose between six different vector chart styles

- Extensive European chart coverage as standard

GPS NAVIGATION FEATURES

- Intelligent warnings for approaching airspace, NOTAM, obstacles, terrain and other hazards

- Virtual Radar shows a side-on projection of all approaching features and how your trajectory relates to them

- Vector map automatically follows the aircraft in north up, track up or course up orientation

- Clear and concise instruments show you flight statistics and help keep you on track

- An HSI/ILS instrument helps you keep to your planned route and line up early for approach

- Live Pilot Log shows progress through your route, ETAs, ATAs and useful frequencies based on your current position

- TerrainSafe dynamically colours mountainous terrain around you to quickly identify safer areas

- Direct To allows easy re-routing in a hurry by picking from a selection of nearby airfields

- Approach Information shows runway diagrams, TAF, METAR, NOTAM and other airfield details useful for making an approach

- Live updates of TAF and METAR while in flight, with associated alerts*

- Extended runway centrelines appear automatically on the map as you near your destination airfield

- Permanent display of position relative to nearest well-known waypoint, for position reporting

- Easy changing of the planned route while in flight by touching and dragging

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
