Everything for the flight, on one map

Weather, airspace, charts, planning, briefing, the flight itself and the logbook — built around the data Nordic pilots actually use.

The right map in one tap

A view sets up the whole map for one question — VFR, IFR, METAR/TAF, icing, convection, turbulence and more. Pick one and the right layers, settings and basemap are in place.

  • More than 40 ready-made views; keep the ones you use on the map
  • Change a view and save it as your own — it follows you to every device
  • One time bar for all weather, up to 7 days ahead, and an altitude control for the level you fly
Turbulent conditions view: forecast turbulence and wind over Finland, Sweden and the Baltics, the official low-level forecast turbulence areas with their levels, and the list of views on the right

Aviation weather you can read at a glance

Clouds, wind, rain, icing, turbulence, CB/TCU, freezing level and ceiling all come from the same 7 km European forecast, refreshed every three hours — so the layers agree with each other.

  • Radar, lightning and satellite images from European weather services
  • SIGMETs and weather warnings
  • Tap anywhere on the map for the forecast at that spot
Icing conditions view: forecast icing by severity, the 0 °C lines and the official low-level forecast icing areas

Official Nordic forecasts on the map

The forecasters' own products, drawn over the ground they describe — no more opening PDFs from four different weather services.

  • Nordic LLF — the low-level forecast from FMI, SMHI, DMI and MET Norway
  • Nordic SWC and WAFC Europe significant weather charts as map layers
  • Compare the official forecast with the model by switching views

Airports: weather, NOTAMs and more

Click an airport for everything you need before you go there — over 22,000 airports worldwide, with the most detail in the Nordic and Baltic countries.

  • METAR, TAF and the model forecast in one colour-coded table, with the wind on the runway
  • Runways, frequencies, opening hours and fuel from the AIP
  • NOTAMs, with Ask AI for a plain-language explanation
  • Webcams, favourite airports, and your favourites' closures in your phone's calendar

Aerodrome charts with your position

Charts open inside the app, and on many of them your own position is drawn on the page — useful when taxiing at an unfamiliar field.

  • Position on most Finnish and Latvian charts and on part of the Estonian and Danish ones
  • Temporary changes from AIP supplements shown with the charts
  • One tap from the flight plan, and available offline in the flight pack

A VFR chart that shows what is active

Controlled airspace with its class, limits and frequency, and special use areas that show whether they are active now or later today.

  • Activation from NOTAMs and the daily airspace use plan (TSA/TRA reservations)
  • VFR reporting points, circuit altitudes and the runway the wind favours
  • Obstacles from each country's official data, and power lines

An IFR enroute chart

Switch the map to an enroute chart with one tap.

  • Airways, navaids, IFR points and ACC sectors with frequencies
  • Area minimum altitude grid
  • Icing, turbulence and cloud tops at your flight level

Routes and flight plans

Tap a route on the map or type it — EFNU DCT EFMA — and turn it into a flight plan with one or more legs.

  • Times, headings and ground speed with the forecast wind at your level
  • Fuel with reserve and taxi, range on the map, and refuelling stops in reach
  • Weight & balance checked against your aircraft's envelope
  • File IFR and VFR plans through your own autorouter account
Flight planner with two legs, the route from Nummela to Mariehamn, the fuel calculation and the navigation log

A briefing for each leg

Every leg is briefed at the time you fly it, not at the moment you look. The brief starts with the answer: can it be flown?

  • Departure and arrival weather, conditions along the route, airspace and GPS interference
  • The NOTAMs that change how you fly, first
  • A printable briefing package with map, navigation log and airgram
Leg brief with the flight's go/no-go summary, aerodrome weather, en-route conditions and NOTAMs

Airgram: the weather along your route

A vertical cross-section from departure to destination: clouds, icing, turbulence, wind and the freezing level, with the terrain and airspace below you.

  • For any route or flight plan leg, and for a single airport over 24 hours
  • Real terrain and minimum altitudes under the route
  • Helps you choose the level to fly

In flight

Take the app to the cockpit. The map follows you, and the screen stays calm.

  • Course guidance to the next waypoint and a navigation log with fuel checks
  • Which airspace you are in, what comes next, and its frequency
  • Off-block, take-off, landing and on-block times recorded automatically
  • Try it on the ground first with a demo flight

After the flight, and on every device

Logbooks

An EASA-style pilot logbook filled in from your flights, and an aircraft log for hours, fuel and oil. Compare the flown track with the plan. Import and export CSV, Excel and ForeFlight.

Works offline

Install the app to your home screen and it opens without a network. Upcoming flights are packed automatically, and whole countries can be downloaded in advance.

On every device

Phone, tablet or desktop. Sign in with Google or an email link and your flights, aircraft, views and settings follow you.

Please note: Prepare Flights supports your situational awareness and briefing. It does not replace official sources (AIP, NOTAM and weather services, ATC).
