Description

Airmate is a free and easy to use Electronic Flight Bag for pilots, providing help for flight planning and navigation, improving situational awareness and providing social sharing features.

Thanks to Airmate EFB flight planning tools, you will get instant access to airport data and aviation maps worldwide, up to date weather and NOTAMs, traffic around, and you could even file a flight plan.

IFR and VFR airport diagrams and plates are freely available in US (FAA charts), all Europe, and more than 200 other countries. Most of them are georeferenced and could be overlaid on the aviation chart. A powerful Plate Manager allows to download in advance all airport plates in a country, they could be easily printed and viewed.

During the flight, the moving map will display the aircraft location along the route, show airports and aeronautical data details, show traffic around and warn you if your planned route is crossing restricted areas. A profile view is available to display terrain elevation, crossed areas and forecasted weather across the route. Airmate can also display a backup aircraft attitude indicator and flight parameters in an EFIS-like view using the device internal sensors or a supported external AHRS-capable ADS-B receiver or supported aircraft avionics. In the whole world, Synthetic Vision displaying in the EFIS-like view the ups and downs of rolling terrain ahead is available.

Airmate includes a worldwide aeronautical database updated free of charge with airports, navigation beacons, waypoints, airways, obstacles, regulated and restricted areas. Topographic maps and elevation data for most countries may be downloaded free of charge, as well as additional aviation map overlays such US Sectionals. A procedure database provide details of departure (SID), arrival (STAR) and instrument approaches in specific countries, and you could add those procedures to your planned flight route (the procedure database includes all US airports, and many RNP approaches in other countries). Once loaded, the procedure path is displayed on the aeronautical map, including curved paths and racetracks.

When coupled with a supported external ADS-B received, Airmate will display nearby traffic on the moving map, and receive FIS-B weather and NOTAM during the flight. To improve safety, Airmate can display neighbouring traffic received over mobile network. Such traffic include commercial airlines and transponder-equiped aircrafts, FLARM gliders, aircrafts whose pilots are using Airmate and other users using other safety broadcasting equipment.

Airmate is able to transmit the flight plan data to and receive flight parameters and AHRS data from supported avionics such Dynon SkyView.

Thanks to the Auto Route feature, you could search and select the best route for your flight, and then file your flight plan anywhere in the world.

Airmate will also record your flights and allow to replay them later or export the flight path in gpx format. Pilot log entries are automatically computed from flown flights.

A Satellite map display mode in flight planning or replay mode allows to familiarize with significant landmarks.

Airmate will save planned and flown flights, user waypoints and user aircrafts in the cloud and sync them between your devices and Airmate web flight planning.

Airmate brings numerous social features to the community. Pilots may leave ratings, tips and comments to share their experience with fellow pilots, and report fuel prices and landing fees. They could find friends, instructors, flight schools, aviation events and aircraft to rent near their home airport or any visited airport.

Airmate may be connected to most flight simulators to keep flying skills sharp. Planned flights and personal waypoints may be imported and exported, including from/to flight simulators.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

What’s New

Version 3.19

This version brings the following improvements and fixes:
- fix several issues related to IFR approaches, SID and STAR loading, where some approaches were either not displayed or not properly loaded.
- added photo scenery support in Switzerland
- fixed an AHRS issue where external device AHRS inputs were conflicting with device own accelerometer data, leading to incorrect attitude data displayed if the device was not affixed to the cockpit.
- obstacle elevation are now indicated in either feet or meter according unit configuration
- speed unit can now be specified in MPH
- Weight & Balance data are now synced between multiple devices.
- maximum time of the flight vector line was extended to 60 minutes to cater for ballooning needs.
- include a worldwide aeronautical database at cycle 2409 (effective from September 5th, 2024), automatically updated.

Good, but…

There seems to be a bug whereby with the iPad (full-size and mini), the Ahrs will not work properly in landscape orientation. As an Alberta Canadian, it would be nice if the aeronautical data for Canada was more complete. That said, it’s a fantastic EFB app for FREE!

No flight plan

I use to be able to import flight plans from Discord on my iPhone but now all it does is give me to and from but does not show on the map. I have to go under edit and it just gives me a written, departure and arrival, also still no update on this or any communication back

Great asset for flight sim... but no CA ILS plates.

Why no ILS plates for Canadian airports? They are freely available online. It would be great if you could add those

Developer Response ,

Many thanks for your good rating that is much appreciated!
We tried since years to add Canadian IFR plates to Airmate. Unfortunately those plates are not freely available. They are published by NAV CANADA in the Canada Air Pilot, this publication must be purchased and could not be reproduced without breaching copyright. Getting the authorization to obtain and freely propagate Canada Air Pilot IFR plates is extremely expensive, and only very few subscription based paying apps make such investment.
We give access to Canadian airport diagrams, as they are published in the Canadian Airport Chart document that is in public access.
