## What is FlightKit?

FlightKit is the pilot's toolbox — plan, fly, and stay current, with checkride prep built in. One app instead of five, for pilots at every stage: students, certificated pilots, and CFIs.

WEATHER & CHARTS
• Live METARs and TAFs with plain-English decoding
• Interactive VFR sectionals and IFR enroute charts with color-coded station dots (VFR/MVFR/IFR/LIFR) and NEXRAD radar
• Airport pages with runways, frequencies, and NOTAMs

AI ROUTE PLANNER
• Enter a departure and destination and get a complete VFR nav log — checkpoints, magnetic headings, groundspeed, and leg ETAs
• Automatically routes around Class B and C airspace
• Drag any waypoint on the sectional to fine-tune your route, and the nav log recalculates instantly

PREFLIGHT & PERFORMANCE
Set your home airport once and every tool auto-loads live weather and runway data:
• Weight & Balance with aircraft-specific profiles
• Takeoff & Landing performance with best-runway logic
• Crosswind and density-altitude calculators, plus a full E6B

SMART CHECKLISTS
• Interactive checklists for every phase of flight — import them straight from your aircraft's POH with AI, or build your own
• Auto-fill items pull live data right into the checklist: altimeter setting, wind, favored runway, crosswind, and radio frequencies fill themselves from real-time METARs and airport data
• Hands-free voice mode reads each item aloud and advances when you answer — eyes outside, hands on the airplane

GO / NO-GO
• Weather and risk assessment against your own personal minimums, for safer fly/no-fly decisions

LOGBOOK & CURRENCY
• Log flights and track hours and training milestones
• Currency tracking for flight review, day and night landings, and instrument experience

STUDY & CHECKRIDE PREP
• Ground school across 11 ACS areas of operation with examiner tips and real-world scenarios
• Practice tests and spaced-repetition flashcards tailored to your aircraft
• AI Examiner — a DPE-style mock oral that asks, listens, and grades you against the ACS

ASK FLIGHTKIT
• Your aviation expert on call — weather, regulations, performance, systems, and procedures, grounded in your aircraft's POH

TUNED TO YOUR AIRCRAFT
Add your aircraft by tail number and FlightKit tailors V-speeds, weight & balance, performance, flashcards, and AI answers to your specific plane. Built-in POH data for a growing list of common training and GA types from Piper, Cessna, Diamond, Beechcraft, and more.

IMPORTANT
FlightKit is a reference and training aid. It does not replace official FAA publications, your Pilot's Operating Handbook, or instruction from a certificated flight instructor. Always verify critical information against official sources.

SUBSCRIPTIONS
FlightKit is free to download, and weather, airports, charts, and study reading stay free. Optional auto-renewing subscriptions (Pilot and Pro, billed monthly or annually) unlock the full toolbox. Current prices are shown in the app before you purchase.
  
Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
