FlightSpan vs Flight Kneeboard EFB

A complete flight operations software solution specifically designed for remote contexts. FlightSpan provides flight crews with tools for flight planning, daily flight logs/journey logs, weight and balance, takeoff and landing performance, departure and arrival briefings with company runway charts, flight tracking and two way communications (when paired with a v2 Tracker), moving map with capability to use custom/company navigation charts, Notam and hazard identification tracking and more.

Everything you expect from a full electronic flight bag, the whole workflow from planning on the ground to the approach. MAPS AND CHARTS • VFR sectionals, terminal area charts and flyway charts • IFR enroute low and high, Caribbean/Mexico low and high, and oceanic • In house VFR-style chart for the entire world • Satellite imagery basemap • Georeference approach plates, airport diagrams, takeoff minimums, Chart Supplement AIRPORTS • Runway lengths, widths, surfaces, TDZE, thresholds, pattern direction • Frequencies, ATIS and D-ATIS, flow control, fuel and services • Your aircraft's takeoff and landing numbers for each runway • NOTAM Highlights: the few that matter, above the sixty that do not • NOTAMs grouped into runway, taxiway, procedure, airspace and other • Favorites, direct-to, and add-to-route from any airport WEATHER • METARs and TAFs — tap any token in the raw text to decode it in place • PIREPs, winds and temperatures aloft anywhere on earth, MOS/LAMP guidance • Up to 8 days of station history, charted nine different ways • Animated radar with a time slider, and surface analysis • Infrared satellite that follows where you are looking — GOES and Himawari • Airport weather cameras with 24hrs of history • Color airport symbols by flight category, wind, ceiling, visibility or ATIS • Loaded weather stays available offline ADVISORIES AND AIRSPACE • SIGMETs including international, AIRMETs and TFRs • Controlled and special-use airspace worldwide, floors and ceilings labelled • Live FAA feeds: runway visual range, wind shear, airspace activation, traffic flow • Military training routes, obstacles, MVA/MIA sectors • Navaids, fixes, VFR reporting points, and low/high airways PROCEDURES • Approaches, departures and arrivals plotted on the map • Filter approaches by ILS, LOC or GPS, grouped by runway • Load an approach with its transition or vectors and fly it in the route FLIGHT PLANNING • Type a route with airway expansion, or pull preferred and coded ones • Trip planner: aircraft profile, altitude, power setting, fuel on board • Nav log with leg headings, distances, times and fuel • Winds-aloft-corrected times, with climb, cruise and descent performance • Fuel plan with taxi, enroute, reserve and block • Full briefing, and a printable flight package or PDF IN FLIGHT • Synthetic-vision PFD with terrain ahead, an HSI, and full-screen instruments • Terrain shaded against your selected altitude • Glide ring from your current height • ADS-B traffic from portable GDL 90 receivers over Wi-Fi • Sim Connect: MSFS and X-Plane over your home network • Own-ship that degrades honestly when the GPS fix does • Live groundspeed, GPS altitude, track, vertical speed and Zulu time • Two-finger measure for distance and bearing DOWNLOAD AND CURRENCY • Download FAA charts, plates and data by region and by product • 28-day data and 56-day chart cycles, with a cycle picker • Fully usable with no connection once downloaded IMPORTANT This app is an advisory aid for situational awareness only. It is not certified for navigation and must not be used as a primary means of navigation, or for terrain or traffic avoidance. Traffic from a portable receiver will not include all aircraft. Always carry current official charts and comply with your operating rules. Data comes from the FAA, NOAA/NWS, openAIP, NASA and OpenStreetMap; verify currency before every flight.
