You get to the site, take out the drone, and the same doubt hits you every time: can I fly here? AXPA Planner answers that before you leave home, and it answers it for your drone. Official zones are only the starting point: most of what you see on the map is not in any official source, because we compute it ourselves. That includes estimated mobile coverage, GNSS signal quality, airspace in 3D over the terrain and, for SORA operations, ground risk. All on a single map, alongside the zones, their schedules and the weather. SPAIN, PORTUGAL, GERMANY, FRANCE, ANDORRA, SWITZERLAND AND LIECHTENSTEIN AXPA Planner covers all seven countries, each with its own rules. An operation near the border can fall under two countries, and the app tells you which ones instead of assuming one. WHAT YOU SEE BEFORE TAKING OFF · The rules that apply to your specific drone, based on its class, weight and size, and which categories you could fly in at that spot. · Geographical zones and flight limitations for the exact spot, on a timeline by hour and day. · Aviation weather with AXPA KITE, built on ECMWF's IFS: wind and temperature corrected for terrain, sea breeze and real weather stations, plus rainfall radar and hour-by-hour weather symbols. · Mobile coverage over the terrain, as a heat map. · Expected GNSS signal quality, so you know whether your drone will hold position. · Air traffic on the map. · Protected areas and sensitive sites, drawn where you are going to fly. · And if the site is not viable, what you would need for it to become so. THE SKY IN 3D, NOT ON A FLAT PLAN Airspace is not flat and AXPA Planner does not draw it as if it were. With AirVoxel you see the real volume of air above the terrain, with relief and buildings, and you grasp at a glance how far each zone reaches. FOR REAL PLANNING Define the whole operation: trajectory, free, cylindrical or rectangular volumes that follow the terrain, pilot and control station positions, observers, and take-off and landing logistics. Save the operation and pick it up when you need it. YOUR FLIGHT, LIVE OVER THE PLAN Connect your controller and watch the aircraft move across the 3D map as it flies: over the plan you prepared and the zones around it, with its track and the view from the drone itself. Available on the Pro and Enterprise plans, with compatible professional controllers. WHO IT IS FOR For anyone who owns a drone and wants to fly without second-guessing. For those already flying who want to plan better routes. And for those who fly for a living and must prepare and document every operation. BUILT BY AVIATION PEOPLE AXPA Planner is developed by a team with over 40 years of experience in the aviation industry. PLANS You can start free and plan your flights with the essentials. Paid plans extend the weather forecast horizon, remove the planner's limits and let you save your work and take it offline. And if you fly as a team or manage a fleet, there is a plan for that, with a 14-day free trial. You can see what each plan includes, with prices and terms, inside the app. AXPA Basic and AXPA Pro are auto-renewing subscriptions. NOTICE AXPA is an information and planning-support tool. It does not replace official sources and grants no authorisations. Responsibility for the flight and for regulatory compliance always rests with the pilot. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS AXPA Basic and AXPA Pro, and their add-ons, are auto-renewing subscriptions. They renew at the current price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the running period. You can manage and cancel them in your App Store account settings.
