Build and customise your own checklists from scratch, or start from one of our free templates. Flights A quick, simple way to log your flight details and reduce your workload in the cockpit.

Weather Check the METAR and TAF for your chosen airfields at a glance, with decoded conditions or the raw reports, whichever you prefer. Notepad Write down frequencies and clearances with our simple, intuitive notepad. Apple Pencil supported. Documents Keep your own PDFs such as your POH, plates and licences to hand in the cockpit. Your documents stay on your device. Reminders Never miss a date. Track rating expiries, medical renewals and anything else with a deadline, and get notified before it's due.
