Aeronautical Apex

Features

Everything you need on the flight deck.

A focused electronic flight bag built around the moments that matter. Here's what's coming in the first release.

ATC transcript view in the Aeronautical Apex app

Offline ATC Transcription

See what ATC says, even without a cell signal.

Clearances, frequencies, and instructions transcribed in real time, running entirely on your device. Read back what you missed without keying the mic twice. No signal, no Wi-Fi, no cloud round-trip.

Transcription uses your phone’s microphone, so it hears the ATC audio you can hear in the cockpit. If your radio audio only goes to your headset, you’ll need an audio cable from the intercom.

The trip planner in the Aeronautical Apex app: aircraft, route, departure time and flight rules

Real-time Flight Planning

Get the math right and the data clear.

Automatic calculations for route, fuel, W&B, and performance using current aviation data. Get plain-English briefings on weather, NOTAMs, and conditions. Built for pilots who want the math right and the data clear.

Moving Map

The sectional, live, with what you turn on.

FAA VFR and IFR charts on the device, with airports, airspace, TFRs, radar and your own position drawn over them. Tap anything on the chart to learn what it is; every layer has one door.

Logbook analytics in the Aeronautical Apex app showing passenger, night and IFR currency

Logbook & Currency

Know where you stand before you go.

Your logbook computes FAR 61.57 passenger, night and IFR currency from the flights you log, shows what each one needs and when it expires, and keeps your certificates and medical on their own clock.

Airport information in the Aeronautical Apex app for KHFD with runways and current weather

Airport Information

Runways, weather and forecast, one screen.

Every runway with its length, width, surface and lights, the current METAR decoded with the flight category and density altitude, and the TAF or the NWS area forecast where no TAF is issued.

Pilot community feed in the Aeronautical Apex app

Pilot Community

Built with and for the pilots who actually fly.

Share routes, swap PIREPs, and compare notes with the people who know your airspace. A real community of pilots backing each other up, not a feed of strangers selling you things.

When the signal drops

Built offline-first, on purpose.

Pilots fly without signal all the time. Apex is designed around that. Set up once on day one, and your charts, logbook, and ATC transcription work wherever you fly.

On-device ATC transcription

Every clearance, frequency, and instruction transcribed locally on your device. No cell signal, no Wi-Fi, no cloud round-trip.

Your logbook, available offline

Aircraft profiles, saved flight plans, and your full logbook stay accessible without signal. Nothing waits on a network call.

Sectionals ready on day one

Your home region's sectionals cache automatically when you set up the app. They load offline, signal or no. Flying outside your area? Charts stream in when you've got service.

Stay signed in

Your session persists offline. No surprise login screen when you lose cell mid-flight.
