## What is Air Navigation Pro?

Discover our flight planning & real-time navigation app for free for 28 days!
- Everything you need to fly around the world
- Plan your flight in a few minutes
- Fly relaxed with up-to-date information

Air Navigation Pro is a high-quality flight assistant app for pilots worldwide. Benefit from the following main features:

MOVING MAP
Plan and navigate using our interactive moving map. Choose between aeronautical charts, satellite or our vector map as a background. On top of that, the moving map displays waypoints, NOTAM, obstacles and airspaces from our comprehensive, always up-to-date worldwide aeronautical database. Tap on any waypoint directly on the map to easily create a route. Personalize the values shown on the navbar to have exactly the information you need: altitude, vertical speed, bearing, distance to the next waypoint, ETA calculations, etc. Choose the airport departure and arrival procedures for your route to have them also displayed on top of the moving map.

ENHANCED TRAFFIC AWARENESS
Get visual and audio alerts in all languages for nearby conflicting traffic. Choose your preferred traffic icon between generic, aircraft or TCAS symbols. Your safety is important to us, which is why we partnered with SafeSky to ensure our users have live traffic data during their flight. Benefit from the native integration with SafeSky included in our new Smart Lite, Smart Classic and Smart Advanced subscriptions—a two-in-one package!

ADVANCED WEATHER LAYERS
In addition to the basic weather reports & forecast of winds, TAF and METAR for your flight, subscribers of the Smart Advanced plan can activate see-through weather layers on top of the moving map. Available layers include rain radar, wind, pressure, clouds and rain, visibility, gust and for Germany, Switzerland, Austria and the Balkans, we also have GAFOR. Tap on any point on the map to see the weather information for that area. Review the weather forecast for up to three days ahead.

NOTAM
After creating your route, set the departure time in the future to have the moving map display the NOTAM active for that specific time. NOTAM on the map change color dynamically based on their status.

SMARTCHART
Our cutting-edge SmartChart is a highly detailed and intelligent vector-based map that adapts to your needs, providing you with adequate information at any zoom level. The SmartChart optimizes the display of shadows to easily distinguish between valleys and mountains, and the text remains perfectly aligned, guaranteeing optimal readability. Including the latest significant improvements with forests and detailed airport information.

ELEVATION PROFILE & SYNTHETIC VIEW
Enable the profile view below the navbar for enhanced situational awareness of the elevation ahead of you or along your route. Choose the corridor width between 0 to 5 NM and overlay options: airspaces, NOTAM, obstacles, wind components, populated places, etc. Switch to the synthetic view for additional terrain information, plus an artificial horizon with altitude and vertical speed indicators. This function can also be used to pan around while preparing for your flight. Activate TAWS on the moving map as well as on the synthetic view.

AERONAUTICAL CHARTS & APPROACH CHARTS
We offer the most extensive worldwide catalog of aeronautical charts, including the ICAO charts. Have the georeferenced approach charts displayed on top of the moving map or the 3D view. 

BRIEFING
Prepare your flight with our briefing section by creating documents with NOTAM and weather charts & stations relevant to your planned route. Optimize time by creating an aircraft profile which will be used in the Briefing section to pre-fill for you the ATC Flight Plan and calculate the W&B.

AND SO MUCH MORE!

### 5/5 — Bardzo dobra dla GA

*2026-06-02, version 8.4.163*

Aplikacja ma wszystko co potrzebne dla pilot UL, używam od kilku lat i nie zamierzam zmieniać na inną szkoda jedynie że nie ma polskiej wersji ale nie jest to wielki problem

### 5/5 — Bastante intuitivo

*2026-05-14, version 8.4.163*

Es muy amigable, y realmente ofrece ayudas que muchas veces son primordiales para un vuelo seguro

### 5/5 — La mejor app para vuelos VFR

*2026-05-12, version 8.4.163*

★★★★★

Air Navigation Pro ha sido, sin duda, una de las herramientas más importantes en mi vida como piloto VFR.

La utilizo desde hace casi 10 años, desde que comencé a volar, y se ha convertido en una parte fundamental de cada aventura, travesía y vuelo que realizo. La aplicación combina de una manera increíble la planificación, navegación, meteorología y conciencia situacional en una plataforma muy intuitiva y confiable.

Como piloto de aviación recreativa y de aventura en Latinoamérica, valoro muchísimo la estabilidad de la app, la calidad de la cartografía y lo práctica que resulta tanto para vuelos locales como para expediciones entre países.

Además, detrás de la aplicación hay un equipo humano espectacular, cercano y comprometido con la comunidad aeronáutica.

Totalmente recomendada para cualquier piloto VFR que quiera volar más informado, más organizado y más seguro.

¡Felicitaciones al equipo de Air Navigation Pro!

### 3/5 — Помогите

*2026-04-27, version 8.4.163*

Здравствуйте! Ужасная неприятность, почему: когда переводишь айпад в авиационный режим, то спутник gps не ловится устройством? Почему автономно перестал работать? Нужна только сотовая связь.

Куда исчезли сохраненные точки.

### 1/5 — Issues of account login

*2026-04-07*

When flying offshore with no mobile signal it suddenly asks for account despite having valid subscription and then gets stuck coz mob data/signal not available. Needs rectification.

**Developer response:** Hello Balji1973,
We’re sorry for the inconvenience. Air Navigation Pro works offline for most features, but requires prior setup. Please ensure everything is prepared before your flight to use it without an internet connection. Thank you for your understanding!

Blue skies,
Your Air Navigation Pro Team

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2026-04-03, version 8.4.162*

Solo falta cartas temperen

### 5/5 — Suggestions

*2026-03-18*

Je continue fidèle, je vous avais demandé de faire des modifications et vous les avez faites, vous êtes toujoujours supérieurs à la concurrence.
Deux point qui sont vraiment meilleurs à Foreflight: - créer des nouveaux wpts en vol en hélicoptère VFR est très facile avec les gros chiffres ( Foreflight c’est minuscule)
- nommer les wpts est simple et de grand choix, on peut en avoir plein avec le même nom (Foreflight ne permet pas) et on peut utiliser tous les caractères , chez les autres c’est très restreint.
Merci

**Developer response:** Hello michel350, 
Merci beaucoup pour votre fidélité et pour votre retour très positif. Nous sommes ravis d’apprendre que nos améliorations répondent à vos attentes et que vous appréciez ces fonctionnalités.

Bonne journée, 
l'équipe d'Air Navigation Pro

### 3/5 — Good app but a bit pricey for me

*2026-02-19, version 8.4.152*

I used this app a lot when I bought it was sold as a one-time-payment Pro version, way before current subscription based. Tried to subscribe but the price was too steep for me. While this app is one of the best I used so far, I could not afford to subscribe it anymore.

### 3/5 — Встроенная покупка карт

*2026-02-08, version 8.4.151*

Обновил телефон.
Прежние  купленные карты не могут загрузиться. Может кто сталкивался с такой ситуацией? Нужна помощь
