AeroNOTAM gives you easy and fast access to NOTAMs worldwide. It features offline data-management, multiple list views, map view, notifications, and filters. You can bookmark NOTAMs for later reference and share them by mail, message, or social media sites. NOTAMs are organized as routes either by flightpath (arrival/departure airport), an airport with radius, a simple list of your most used airports, or by swiping on the map and defining a radius. Appropriate FIRs will be added automatically. Optionally airport NOTAMs can be shown in local time. AeroNOTAM supports also background refresh, which (when enabled) fetches new NOTAMs automatically in background. You can define alerts (push notifications) for airports and FIRs to be notified (between 1 and 48) hours in advance before a NOTAM becomes effective. Data access after 14-days free trial period is available thru (non auto-renewable) 2-months subscriptions. Data is provided by US FAA which covers a lot of airports, however, they might not provide data for smaller airfields or local NOTAM series outside the US. Please note: AeroNOTAM will be shut down in 2026 and most functionality will be integrated into AeroWeather Pro.

About

FlightPlan Pro

Read full description

Plan the flight on the ground. Fly it without a signal. FlightPlan Pro is a pre-flight and in-flight companion for helicopter pilots. It turns your route, your weather and your aircraft into the one number that decides the day: fuel balance. Everything works offline — you plan on the ground and fly with no coverage. PLAN A ROUTE Type your waypoints and the legs build themselves: course, distance, time, fuel and backtrack. Drag a leg on the map to reroute it. Every point comes from a reference database, so every leg has geometry you can trust. FUEL THAT ANSWERS THE QUESTION Trip, taxi and reserve against fuel on board, ending in a single balance figure — green or red. Nothing is buried. If you are short, the app says so plainly. WEATHER WHERE IT COUNTS METAR and TAF for your airports, plus winds aloft folded straight into your leg times and burns. The wind you fetch is the wind your fuel figure is calculated from. APPROACH MINIMA, CHECKED Your destination's charted ILS and RNP minima measured against its live METAR. An unreadable METAR gives you "unknown" — never a false pass. A MOVING MAP Satellite, street and hybrid basemaps with your route, your position and NOTAM alerts timed to when you will pass them. Import your operator's reference pack for waypoints, airways, runways and ground layouts. FLIGHT MODE Track-up moving map, configurable HUD, and a dead-reckoning coast that keeps the aircraft moving on screen when GPS drops. Screen dimmer for night work. YOUR CHARTS, YOUR DEVICE Add your own approach plates and airport diagrams as PDFs. Your flight plans stay on your device. TAKE IT WITH YOU Export the whole plan as a PDF — legs, fuel, alternates, weather and your selected charts — or share the summary as an image. ALSO IN THE APP Timing and stopwatch, ruler and bearing tool, nearest-airfield search, multiple saved plans, multiple aircraft profiles, and an encrypted local store with an optional Face ID or passcode lock. IMPORTANT FlightPlan Pro is a planning aid. It is not certified for primary navigation and does not replace approved charts, official briefing material, or the pilot-in-command's judgement. Always cross-check against current official sources.
