Plan the flight before the flight plans you.

AviateSafely helps pilots build a VFR route, review terrain, obstructions, weather hazards, aircraft performance, and go / no-go cues in one guided planning workspace. An iPad app is coming soon with guidance throughout the flight, with or without an internet connection.

Guidance that stays with you in flight.

The AviateSafely iPad app is being built to provide guidance throughout the flight, whether you have an internet connection or not.
