Description
Unlike other apps, Airport Guide is designed for pilots to aid in flight planning by answering questions such as what airport has a paved runway at least 4000 feet long above 5000 feet MSL in the state of California between 100 and 150 miles of Los Angeles. With Airport Guide, you get the full AirportGuide.com database to search on the go with 50,000+ landing facilities. Most Airport Guide for Pilots features can be used offline so you can research the airport, perform E6B calculations with one of the many aviation calculators, and reference the aviation Book library. If you happen to be online, you can also use the handy Find Nearby Airports button on the home page to immediately show the nearest fields to your location using your GPS coordinates. As with all search results, this list can be filtered to show only public airports in case you are in the air and need to know your options to land quickly.
After performing a search, you can save any airports as a Favorite and it will show on the home page when you open the app to immediately tell you the latest weather (VFR, MVFR, IFR, LIFR). Select the airport and get key airport information such as the latest METAR, location, comm frequencies, runway info, FBOs, and fuel. You can even rate and review the airport to help your fellow pilots. If you have ever flown into an airport and needed a car or hotel, look no further than the booking links at the bottom of each airport screen to get you set up with lodging and transportation in no time. If you are looking for things to do in the area, just click on the Things To Do button to book attractions with an e-ticket sent to your phone.
375+ Airport Terminal Maps are here! View your location in the terminal and see where gates and services are located.

Data Disclosure
---------------------
The airport database is the same one used on AirportGuide.com and is constantly being updated. However, new database releases are usually made approximately every 4 weeks and will show as a database update within the app settings. The airport database has been evolving for more than 25 years with data from the FAA, DAFIF, and many international AIP sources. While we strive for perfection, the airport data changes quite frequently, and is not guaranteed to be 100% accurate at any given time. Airport Guide is a very useful resource for pilots but please consult official data sources when planning your flight.
Feedback and Support
-------------------------------
We encourage feedback from data issues to user interface issues to new suggestions. With your help, this app will only get better with time. Thanks!
