- Android pilots planning VFR cross-country flights
- Worth noticing
- The planned radio-listening feature is explicitly marked as not yet in beta and untested on a real radio.
Field notes
The displayed examples include terrain clearance, airspace notes, a fuel-stop estimate, and sample spoken calls with frequencies. The page says pilots can review aircraft figures extracted from a POH PDF before the app uses them. It also describes offline use after planning with a connection, while separating future radio listening from the beta and noting that it has not been tested on a real radio.
