FLY is FUN - Flight planning & navigation

✈️FLY is FUN has been crafted by aviators for fellow aviators. This application streamlines the process of flight preparation and enhances situational awareness while flying, offering details on airspaces, reporting points, location on a moving map, elevation, frequencies, railways, weather information, and providing easy access to airfield-related PDF documents. It also showcases NOTAMs and data from rainfall radar.

✈️Moreover, it enables the simulation of ILS approaches, VOR, NDB, DME, marker beacons, RNAV navigation, and marker beacon alerts, all without the need for onboard ILS/VOR/NDB/RNAV equipment.

👉You can experience FLY is FUN for free for a limited number of days. At the conclusion of the trial period, users are invited to subscribe by paying an annual fee. This subscription grants them the right to use the application "as it is" and to aid in its ongoing development.

Additional Features

The built-in logbook facilitates recording:

- Duration since departure

- Departure and arrival timestamps

- Locations of departure and arrival airports

- Flight track (which can be exported as .kml or .gpx for playback)

- Aircraft used

- Pilot(s) and co-pilots responsible for the flight

- Distance traveled, average speed, and maximum speed

Charts and Elevation Data

Free charts and elevation data are available for most countries and can be imported directly through the application store.

Other charts can be created by pilots themselves or made available upon request through commercial services.

Pilots may choose from the most suitable charts, including both free open-source options and commercial offerings such as ICAO, Cartabossy, SkyVector, FAA sectional, and terminal charts.

VACs and PDF Files

VAC and AIP information covers over 50 countries

Users can conveniently attach their own PDF files.

The application supports the use of external GPS devices connected via Bluetooth.

To Display

All primary screens (five in portrait mode and five in landscape) can be easily customized. Pilots can select around 100 different values to display. 

Examples include:

- GPS or barometric altitude

- Ground speed

- Bearing

- Vertical speed

- Distance measuring equipment (DME) to the next point or destination

- Estimated time to reach the next point or destination

- Time elapsed since departure

- Stopwatch feature

👉The displayed information can also be tailored to user preferences (VFR, IFR, or both) and the chosen zoom level. The more you zoom in, the greater the detail in terms of information, waypoints, and other relevant data.
