Pilots Atlas

Can I fly this today? Load your aircraft, check every runway and see whether you land before dark — all in the trip you already planned. NEW • Before dark: every trip shows whether you land before night by your own rule — UK ANO (sunset + 30 min) or civil twilight — from the trip's wind-corrected times, with the latest departure that still makes it. In flight, a caution tells you when your live arrival slips past dark. • Community Board (Settings › Support): suggest features, report issues and share tips, vote and comment, and get notified when the team answers or a status changes. • A short tour of the highlights on first launch — replay it any time from Settings › Support › Feature Tour — plus tips at the moment they help. • Traffic labels show relative altitude, TCAS-style: "+05↑" is 500 ft above you and climbing, a flight level when your own height is unknown, "GND" on the ground. PREMIUM • Mass & balance: enter your aircraft's loading schedule from the POH once, then load each trip — people, baggage and fuel per tank. Pilots Atlas checks mass and CG at take-off, along the whole fuel burn and at landing against your envelope, in lb/in or kg/mm. • Runway performance: take-off and landing distance for every runway end at departure and destination, from your POH figures with UK CAA safety factors, for the weather at the time you are there — METAR, forecast or your own entry. Slope, surface and NOTAM closures are included; crosswind is shown separately. • Flight documents: print or share the navigation log with a load sheet, the envelope drawn to scale with your fuel burn, and a runway performance page with blank lines for ATIS, wind and QNH. • A demo trip — Lake Constance (EDNY → EDTZ) with a DEMO Cessna 172S — shows it all. Open it from the new-trip sheet with "Explore the Demo Trip". Nothing turns green until you have confirmed your figures against the POH. IMPROVED • Built for the cockpit: larger touch targets, numbers that read the same in every language ("4 500 ft"), times that say which clock they are, the age of every weather report, and an Offline badge without network. • Stopping a recording, cancelling Direct-To and deleting a waypoint ask before they act. • Navigation log columns sit under their headings, and the trip overview uses your own units. • Airport information and briefings read better in flight: sun times for the briefed place, distance and track, grouped TAF changes. • The Finder marks the map centre with a crosshair and calls it "Map Centre" — only your GPS fix is your position. • Notifications arrive as standard banners; reminders you set yourself still pop up in the app. • Premium stays on through Apple's billing grace period, and the Watch shows your subscription status. • Large offline packs install with far less memory. Blue skies and tailwinds!
