PilotFlight vs SimpleFlight

Plan, brief, navigate and review your flights in one focused workspace on iPhone and iPad. PLAN EVERY STAGE • Build routes with ICAO airports, saved waypoints or coordinates. Add, drag, reorder or delete intermediate points; review distance, ETE and altitude. • Planning Desk builds a wind-corrected pilot log, sector assumptions and fuel policy from pilot-entered data, with text and printable-PDF export. • Weight & Balance checks pilot-entered aircraft loading against a CG envelope; verify all limits against approved documents. • Flight Kit stores your PDFs and aircraft checklists locally, previews GPX route imports and exports routes/tracks as GPX or the logbook as CSV. The app supplies no certified documents or checklists. • Airfields & Radio combines route/nearby airports, runways and available TWR/APP/COM frequencies. • Airspace & Profile shows imported boundaries, route crossings and comparable MSL bands. • Procedures & Charts manages source-dependent SID, STAR, approaches, holds, runway guidance, navaids, reporting points, information, frequencies and regional NOTAMs. LIVE MAP, TERRAIN AND FLIGHT DECK • See ownship, planned route, Direct-To/live guidance and breadcrumb track on satellite, hybrid or terrain backgrounds, with optional 3D relief. • Map Tools controls available airspace, worldwide SIGMET, PIREP, source-dependent NOTAM, procedure, navigation, information and frequency layers. • View sampled terrain beneath the active route, compare it with planned MSL altitude and a chosen vertical margin, and shape altitude by leg or with movable points. Results appear only where samples are available. • Use the refined HSI/CDI navigation display with BRG, DTK and XTK, plus GPS altitude, groundspeed, vertical speed, ETE and ETA when supported sensor data is available. BRIEF, FLY AND REVIEW Read exact-station METAR/TAF when available; assess runway wind, personal minimums and hazard context. Record or recover a flight, replay tracks or rehearse routes in Flight Review, export GPX and keep notes and a local logbook. READY BEYOND THE SIGNAL Download worldwide offline basemaps and change the background inside Live Map while retaining the active route and guidance. Imported or previously refreshed layers use only the last verified data held on the device. Ten editable tools—including wind triangle, density altitude, fuel/endurance, top of descent, glide and turn performance—work locally. DATA AVAILABILITY Weather and worldwide SIGMET use official AviationWeather.gov/Aviation Weather Center services. NOTAM display is not a complete briefing: FAA supplies a U.S. graphical TFR subset; other NOTAM, procedure, information, frequency and airspace layers depend on installed, imported or configured sources. Coverage and currency vary. An empty layer never means all clear. PAID ACCESS All features require auto-renewable PilotFlight Pro; no free tier. Choose monthly or yearly. Eligible new subscribers receive one month free. Unless canceled at least 24 hours before the trial or period ends, the plan starts or renews at Apple’s displayed local price. Manage in Apple Account settings. IMPORTANT PilotFlight is a supplemental planning and situational-awareness aid, not a certified primary flight/navigation instrument or a substitute for approved charts, AIP data, official weather/NOTAM briefings, ATC instructions, aircraft documentation or pilot judgment. Flight Deck does not provide a certified attitude reference or indicated airspeed. Always verify current approved sources before flight. 25 interface languages. Offline Tutorial: English narration and subtitles in 25 languages. Send routes to the optional, separately available PilotFlight Apple Watch app. Terms of Use (Apple Standard EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://akincijet.com/pilotflight-ipad-privacy.php?lang=en

SimpleFlight answers the questions that matter before a VFR flight: how far, how long, how much fuel, what the weather is doing along the way, what airspace is in the way, and what the destination looks like when you get there. Built by a pilot, for the United States, for VFR. Saying no to everything else is what keeps it simple. PLAN • Pick a departure and destination. Press and hold the route line to bend it around airspace; it snaps to nearby airports, VORs and fixes. • Choose from legal VFR hemispheric altitudes, each with its headwind or tailwind and time en route from current winds aloft. • Get wind-corrected heading, groundspeed, time, fuel burn and reserve for your airplane. WEATHER • Decoded METARs and TAFs for reporting airports along the route, colored by flight category. • Animated winds at your cruise altitude, radar and satellite on the map. • Winds aloft table for 6, 12 and 24 hours. SIGMETs, G-AIRMETs and pilot reports in the corridor. ROUTE PROFILE • A side view of the route: terrain under it, your cruise altitude, Class B, C and D shelves, cloud bases from METARs and the freezing level. • Highest terrain on the route and your clearance at cruise, with a preview of every VFR altitude. • Edit the route from the profile: find the ridge, drop a waypoint there and drag it around, then re-plan in place. MAP RULER • Hold two fingers on the map to measure distance, magnetic course from each end, and no-wind time and fuel. AIRSPACE AND TFRs • Class B, C and D with floors and ceilings. Shelves that apply at your altitude stand out; the rest fade back. • TFRs on or near the route, checked against your planned time and altitude, with the NOTAM text a tap away. DESTINATION • Headwind and crosswind for every runway, with the favored runway marked. • A to-scale runway diagram and the expected traffic pattern, drawn on the map when you zoom in, with left or right traffic from FAA data and pattern altitude. • Frequencies, elevation, fuel, sunrise and sunset. SHARE • Send the route to ForeFlight or Garmin Pilot in one tap, or export a Garmin FPL file, waypoints included. YOUR DATA • No account needed. Without one, nothing you enter leaves your device. • Optional Sign in with Apple syncs your airplanes and plans between iPhone and iPad. Export or delete your account any time in Settings. • No ads. No tracking. IMPORTANT SimpleFlight is a planning aid. It is not an official weather or NOTAM briefing, it is not approved by the FAA, and it is not for navigation. Data can be late, incomplete or wrong. Terrain comes from USGS elevation data and does not include towers or other obstacles. Traffic patterns and runway diagrams are schematics; ATC instructions and published procedures take precedence. The pilot in command is responsible for every decision. Get an official briefing and check current charts before every flight. Data: Aviation Weather Center (NOAA), FAA, USGS, Iowa Environmental Mesonet, Open-Meteo.
