The NGA Aeronautical Application (Aero App) is an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) mobile application developed by and for the DOD and FAA flight crews. The Application provides flight crews with the flight publications and data required to execute the unique mission of the U.S. War Fighter. Aero App increases situational awareness and improves safety of navigation by providing easy access to aeronautical information including Digital Aeronautical Flight Information File (DAFIF), Digital Flight Information Publications (D-FLIP) products, including Georeferenced Airport Diagrams and Instrument Approach Procedures (IAPs), Arrival Procedures, Departure Procedures, Takeoff and Landing Minimums, Supplements, Airfield Qualification Program (AQP), Giant Reports, Electronic-Instrument Procedure Library and Host Nation Charts. Aero App is designed to enhance the use of aeronautical Flight Information Publication (FLIP) data and manage individual FLIP products. As the world's authoritative source for aeronautical data, NGA is able to provide flight crews access to data on over 47,000 airfields worldwide via the application. In addition, the Aero App features an integrated E6B flight computer for flight planning on the ground and in the air calculations; a note pad; access to user documents and custom user maps. Connect to the internet, GPS or an ADS-B device to view traffic and weather information such as NOTAMs, METARs, TAFs, and Air Force weather. Overlay navigational data on the Moving Map such as Military Training Routes, Air Refueling Routes, Contract Fuel Locations, Terrain, Special Use Airspaces and much, much more. Aero App is FREE and authorized for the following: US military, government agencies, Civil Air Patrol, foreign military partners and contractors flying missions in support of the DOD.

Great start

As a new aviator this is a great start for free! Need to add the ability to Electronically file IFR flight plans and to add approaches to your flight plan route, additionally need to add wind correction and along with the total distance on the route add an estimated time of flight the route would take.

I have been using this app from many years and I highly recommend it to my students for their planning not only IFR/VFR but for tactical mission planning as well here at USAACE. The number 1 complain continues to be having to update the password, which with todays face recognition and fingers print access to keychain on IPads is truly not an issue at all. Airdrop/Sharing cycles with other users is fantastic. The DOD FLIP access and downloads within cycles has no match. The Aero App Data Server is a must. It allows the user ti take their experience to the next level; specially by using the Convert TIIF files into MBTTiles tool. Two recommendations: 1 Please bring satellite imagery back u ser the map selection tab. 2 Allow users to AirDrop/Share user flies such as MBTiles. The number two recommendation is particularly important when users create routes on Falcon View that can later one be converted into MBTiles for their tablets as a backup to a MFD failure.

Great EKB. Highly recommend to all DOD aircrew. Frequent updates with an intuitive interface. I have been using this app for over 4 years and have had minimal issues. The “User Apps” feature has been incredibly useful when operating and planning in different countries that otherwise do not have readily available digital and georeferenced maps. Filing flight plans through the app is also very simple. A useful addition would be adding a feature that would depict flight level winds for the selected route of flight.

Outstanding integration of nearly all military aviator needs. Simply need two things for this to be a 5-star app:-ability to change manual route point names so they're not lat/longs that clutter up the map-ability to tap map to add point to route
