How it works

From blank chart to ready-to-fly in three steps

STEP 1

Pick your airplane

Choose your aircraft profile. Climb, cruise and descent speeds, fuel burn and usable fuel fill in for you.

STEP 2

Tap your route

Add your departure, drop checkpoints on the sectional and name them what you'll see out the window.

STEP 3

Get your nav log

True course, wind correction, magnetic and compass heading, ground speed, times, ETAs and fuel, recalculated as you edit.

See it before you fly it

Fly the whole route in 3D

Every checkpoint, climb and descent over real terrain and satellite imagery, so you know what each landmark looks like.

Shown at 10× speed. Visualization only, not for terrain clearance.
Everything for the cross-country

Built for student pilots, by pilots

Real FAA sectionals

Plan on the chart you'll fly with. Tap an airport for runways, frequencies and charts.

Automatic nav log

Every column worked out per leg, with real winds aloft for your altitude.

Fuel check

Fuel at destination and the 14 CFR 91.151 reserve, before you go.

Weather briefing

METARs, TAFs, radar, satellite, PIREPs, AIRMETs, SIGMETs and TFRs on one map.

Flight timer with callouts

Start the timer on departure and hear each checkpoint called out, so your eyes stay outside.

Send it to your CFI

Email the finished nav log to your instructor, or export it to ForeFlight or Garmin.

Questions

Before you start

Do I need a credit card for the trial?

No. Create an account and use everything for 7 days. If you want to keep going, add a payment method before the trial ends. If you don't, your account simply pauses and nothing is charged.

Can I use it instead of learning the E6B?

You still need to know your E6B for the written and the checkride. FlightPlanner does the math for every planning session after that, and it's a quick way to check your hand-worked nav log.

Where does the data come from?

FAA VFR sectional charts, aviationweather.gov for METARs, TAFs and winds aloft, and the FAA's terminal procedures for airport charts. It's for planning: always check official sources before you fly.

Does it work on my phone or iPad?

Yes. It runs in the browser on phone, tablet and computer, and your saved plans follow you between devices.

How do I cancel?

Open the app, tap 👤 then Manage billing. You keep access until the end of the period you paid for.
