aerospace enthusiasts around the world. The app is suited for
pre-flight planning as well as in-flight navigation. Simply choose
any 5 by 5 degree area on earth and download relevant data for
offline use. The map features over 65000 airports 9000 navaids and
15000 waypoints around the globe just as airspaces for currently 62
countries on all continents (except Antarctica). Countries with
airspace data include the United States and Canada Europe Australia
and New Zealand.
Global high resolution weather forecasts from the German DWD and US
American NOAA provide accurate map layers for cloud cover ceiling
precipitation wind on the ground as well as aloft. The data is
downloaded onto the device so you can check the forecast even
during flight without cell reception. To retrieve the latest METAR
and TAF at your destination airport it is integrated with Avia
Weather.
A digital elevation model supports you with planning your route in
the mountains. During flight the terrain overlay will dynamically
color hills and mountains on the map depending on your current
altitude to increase your situational awareness.
To enhance safety Avia Maps can display traffic information from
your favorite ADS-B receiver or from the SafeSky app directly on
the map. It supports receiving traffic data using the GDL90 format
which is supported by most portable ADS-B receivers like SkyEcho or
Stratux. If you do not have a receiver SafeSky can provide traffic
data using an internet connection only.
For the most accurate performance calculations you can create
multiple aircraft profiles from handbook values for climb
performance fuel consumption etc. Route calculations will use these
profiles and even consider engine type and fuel burn for climb
performance employing common formulae used in aerospace
engineering. From as little as four carefully chosen data points
the app can accurately recreate the climb performance diagram in
your POH.
For clarity and commonality to paper charts the map is themed in
the style of ICAO Annex 4 (Aeronautical Charts). If you use the app
on multiple devices you can synchronize your routes aircraft
profiles and user waypoints between them.
This is a trial app with full features. After an evaluation period
of 30 days you will have to buy a perpetual license from within the
app or subscribe to the professional tier.
