SkyDemon

The popular VFR planning and navigation app. Supports flight plans, AIP charts, weather, NOTAMs and live moving-map navigation on a tablet.

SkyDemon is a British planning and navigation app for general aviation and effectively the European VFR standard. It can plan a route with waypoints and alternate, compute a performance profile, display AIP charts, current METAR/TAF, NOTAMs and TFRs, file a flight plan electronically through AFPEx (or IBS in the Czech Republic) and act as a moving map in flight when paired with an external ADS-B/FLARM receiver. Licensing is annual; the app runs on iPad and Android.
