FlyQ+ EFB is a top-rated aviation app because it makes your flying easier and safer by thoughtfully integrating powerful features in a way that minimizes the number of screen taps and uses larger fonts to increase readability. New features such as a glide ring, graphical weather briefing, ability to download two data cycles, and a navlog that expands/collapses airways/SIDs/STARs make flying safer and easier than ever before! The Global Digital Map shows airports, airways, airspace, navaids, and waypoints from all around the world. Text rotates so it's always right-side up and the level of detail adapts to the zoom level. Our exceptional "4D Predictive Weather" system uses a Timeline and Altitude Slider to help you analyze weather at different times - both past and future - and at different altitudes. 17 weather layers from both the Internet and ADS-B (e.g. Radar, Icing, Turbulence, PIREPs, Winds Aloft, Surface Winds, Surface Analysis, Satellite, and more), many tied to the Timeline and Altitude Slider, give you unprecedented pre-flight and in-flight safety. Supports more than 20 ADS-B and in-panel devices: Stratus 3, Avidyne, Dynon, Stratux, and more. The exclusive Augmented Reality (AR) feature provides situational awareness you'd previously only seen in sci-fi movies.  The Slingshot wireless system means FlyQ+ supplies maps, plates, and apt diagrams wirelessly to certified systems from BendixKing. The Visual Logbook and Post Flight Playback / Analysis Graphs add a whole new dimension to your flying. Optionally connect with your friends to "see" and even replay their flights. CFI's can track student progress and remotely send endorsements. Other key features include split screen, 3D synthetic vision, plates on the map, more than 4,600 airport diagrams, rich Documents support, extended runways, distance measurement, fuel prices, NOTAMS, wind-optimized flight planning, and plates for Mexico and Central America.

Also includes an extensive gallery of weather images. > Airport Information The Airport screen concisely shows key operational info, sat images, and rwy diagrams on a single screen. Weather, approach procedures, A/FD, and FBO info are just a tap away.

I have used this service for years to flight instruct in some very busy airspace. I use this with a Merlin ADB-B device I bought from them, and it is excellent for keeping me clear of conflicts while maneuvering in very busy practice areas. It helps me gain visual contact with aircraft quicker than without, and it is handy for obtaining weather information en route. It’s great for flight planning and filing. The scratch pad is wonderful for jotting down an ATIS, IFR clearance, taxi instructions, and assigned vectors. I love the AR photo feature that’ll overlay airport and other information on your pics. There is a learning curve, but they have several videos one YouTube to help with that. I even use the documents feature to store electronic copies of all my manuals, maps, POH, and other operational information. Learning or teaching to fly? Ask them about their amazing discount on their service. I give this both this app and Seattle Avionics *****. Thank you so much for supporting flight students and their CFIs!! ### 5/5 — Best EFB *2026-08-17, version 7.1.1* This app reduces the cockpit workload and typical EFB distractions. I’ve used it over 10 years now. It is very capable when you want it to be, but easy to work for the average IFR pilot. Best of all you can work with it with one finger vs both hands for other comparable apps. ### 1/5 — Changing the contract *2026-08-08, version 7.1.1* I am very very disappointed is their decision to sell a life time subscription and then renege. That is the true form of bait and switch. The product is ok, but they could have just stopped any new lifetime purchases without ripping the people that supported them early. ### 5/5 — Backup EFB *2026-08-04, version 7.1.1* This app is an outstanding backup to my Fore flight app. I use it a lot as an instructor to keep clutter to a minimum. I use it on my IPhone and it works well. ### 5/5 — FlyQ *2026-06-21, version 7.1.1* Awesome app. Works great on my EFB iPad and pairs nicely with my Dynon HDX on my RV-7A. Easy to learn and excellent planning tools. ### 5/5 — excellent! *2026-06-16, version 7.1.1* I have had this for 6 years and have been completely pleased with it, have flown all over the country, low and slow, and it does virtually everything that Foreflight does, and a lot less expensive. Support has been quick and thorough, nice people! ### 5/5 — CFI Friendly *2026-06-16, version 7.1.1* The app itself is great. It works well on my iPads and iPhones. Flight planning is easy with weather, pireps, airspace all available. In addition FlyQ+EFB gives a great discount to Flight Instructors making it much more affordable than other apps. ### 5/5 — FlyQ+ EFB *2026-06-13, version 7.1.1* As an old army pilot we had limited navigation tools. When I came back to flying after 35 years I was introduced to this amazing tool. I would not feel comfortable flying without this electronic flight bag. It is invaluable!!!! ### 5/5 — Always improving, great support *2026-06-08, version 7.1.1* Of all the EFBs I’ve tried, FlyQ+ was the most intuitive one as well as having the features that make it so good. ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-06-08, version 7.1.1* Loving this EFB. The tech support was quick to get back to me about a question that I had. ## Frequently asked questions about FlyQ+ EFB ### What does FlyQ+ EFB do?
