Description
Don't miss your airport! Designed for pilots of any size aircraft, this app provides you with bearing and vertical speed required to nearby airports. The following information is shown for destinations:
• Distance from current location
• Field Elevation
• Descent rate required
• Time to Top of Descent (TOD)
• Bearing
• Frequencies
• Runways
• Glide distance delta
Additionally your current speed, course, altitude and vertical speed are displayed. Tapping on the information button, Time to TOD or Target Altitude allows you to customize the desired descent rate.
All data is updated in real time as you fly. You may choose a nearby airport or select an airport by identifier by scrolling down on the airport list. Filter by runway length and surface type and choose any of the following: airports, seaplane bases, heliports, balloon ports and closed airports.
You may optionally provide a glide ratio for your aircraft. The glide distance long or short of the selected airport is then displayed and is conveniently color coded. A positive, green glide delta indicates the glide distance has been estimated to exceed the distance to the airport with a 25% safety margin.
Runway headings, if known, are used to draw runways on the heading indicator. If the magenta arrow is pointed straight up and aligned with a runway then you are headed straight in.
Worldwide airport information is provided by multiple sources. Canada, Europe and all continents are covered! For more information go to ourairports.com/world.html. Database updates are performed daily.
Your location and altitude is provided by your device's location services. If location or altitude is not available that information will not be displayed however you can still search for an airport by identifier. Unfortunately external GPS devices are generally NOT compatible.
You must be moving for course information and the magenta relative bearing arrow to be displayed.
The Watch app has many of the same features and fits on your wrist. See distances to nearby airports or bearing to a selected airport. Frequencies and runway lengths can be seen with a swipe. A green glide icon or delta indicates glideability is likely.
Just like the iPhone and iPad app, the Watch app requires GPS information to locate nearby airports and relative bearing. Additionally, altitude is needed to calculate descent rates.
Feedback and feature requests are appreciated. Thanks!

Great backup plan for your EFB
My CFI got me completely lost, even changed the heading indicator with the purpose of finding my way using the app, sure enough the app put me on top of the nearest airport.
Doesn’t download
Good plan. Poor execution. The database won’t download on Apple Watch. After multiple attempts and troubleshooting, all I get is a sad face emoji. Not even an error code, just an emoji.
Developer out of business
App doesn’t work. Developer out of business. Don’t give Apple your money for this app.
Do not waste your money.
Spent the dollars to use on Apple Watch. Database does not want to download to watch (but does to phone). Also appears to be an abandoned project. I like the concept, I just wish it worked on my Watch at the developer was active and responsive.
Worthless for Apple Watch
Bought the app primarily for the watch app. It does not download database to watch and, though purchased, won’t download. Rip off!!
Apple watch Complication
Love the app. The only drawback is no Apple watch complication. This would make it much faster to access for a quick glance while flying.
This MIGHT be a great app ...
... but I’ll never know, because a non-refundable subscription is required to try it out ...
Does not work with watch gen 4
Pro: $12/y Phone app works well. Cons: $18/y subscription to watch is a waste of money if you want to use it on watch gen 4. Watch app doesn’t want to download/install initial database, keeps saying that subscription expired. Apps Resets/re-downloads/re-installations do not change this. There is no way to force watch app to sync with database. Tried on 2 watches. Identical experience.
Pretty good
Occasional hiccup with Watch app that I attribute more to the watch. Probably had to do with syncing to new phone.
