Plan routes with real-time GFS winds aloft, great-circle distances, and wind-adjusted ETEs. Compare reference flights side by side. Plan smarter. Fly informed. Flight Path Distance is a visual flight planning reference tool that calculates great-circle routes, distances, and estimated times enroute — with or without real-time winds aloft. Route Planning Made Simple Search and add airports by ICAO or IATA code, build multi-leg routes, and see them plotted on a high-resolution satellite map. Every leg shows distance, bearing, and ETE at a glance. Real-Time Winds Aloft Tap into GFS forecast data to see how winds affect your flight. The app fetches wind samples along each leg and calculates wind-adjusted groundspeed, headwind/crosswind components, and corrected ETEs — so you know what the atmosphere has in store before you go. Flexible Speed & Altitude Profiles Enter your cruise settings as TAS or Mach number at any altitude. The app handles ISA atmosphere conversions automatically. Reference Flight Comparison Paste in a route string and compare alternative routings side by side on the map — each with its own wind analysis. Alternate Airport Planning Add an alternate destination and see the diversion route overlaid on your main plan. Works Offline Satellite map tiles are cached as you browse, so previously viewed areas remain available without an internet connection. Built for iPad A clean, responsive interface designed to make the most of your screen — whether you're at a desk or in the cockpit. Flight Path Distance is a planning reference tool only — not for in-flight navigation. https://flight-planner-z5c8qr.abacusai.app/terms
