What’s new
Version 6.26.0 · Updated October 17, 2026
Ready to go: run your aircraft's checklist and turn your trip into an ICAO flight plan. NEW • Aircraft checklists: normal procedures for your aircraft, built for its type — high or low wing, carburettor, constant-speed propeller, retractable gear — and run in the cockpit item by item, section by section, picking up where you left off. Confirm the checklist against your POH before you rely on it; any edit asks you to confirm again. Normal procedures only: emergencies stay with your POH. Open it from your trip or from Settings › Flight Settings › Aircraft Profiles. One aircraft with its built-in checklist is free; your own items and more aircraft come with Premium. • Quick Access: a pinned layer opens its settings straight from its chevron. PREMIUM • ICAO flight plan: Pilots Atlas writes the VFR flight plan from your trip — route, cruising level, elapsed time, alternates and endurance. Elapsed time rounds up; endurance rounds down and comes from the fuel on board. Equipment and item 19 answers are yours to give, and they are remembered with the aircraft on all your devices. Every open question is listed before you can copy or share the plan, and the filing service for your departure country is one tap away: DFS, homebriefing, skybriefing, SOFIA, AFPEx or 1800wxbrief, plus autorouter. IMPROVED • Trips, aircraft, checklists and favourites stay in step across your devices: something you delete on one device disappears from the others, even ones that were closed at the time, and a field you clear is cleared everywhere. • Offline map downloads carry on region by region, so the rest finish while one is retried. • Tapping a Follow Me notification opens the map with the aircraft's track on show. • Numbers on Apple Watch and in widgets read the same in every language too ("4 500 ft"). Blue skies and tailwinds!
