PlaneVector
Aviation by HangarForge
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
PlaneVector is the complete digital flight companion for general aviation pilots and aircraft owners — built around official FAA charts, real-time weather, and a fully offline-capable cockpit experience.
AVIATION MAPS
Fly with FAA Sectional, IFR Low, and IFR High charts displayed natively on your device. Charts download for offline use so you always have coverage, even without cell service. Airspace boundaries, TFRs, and IFR airways overlay directly on the chart layer so you can see the full operational picture at a glance. Range rings, route polylines, and your own-ship position update in real time using GPS.
FLIGHT PLANNING & NAVLOG
Build routes on the map by dropping waypoints or searching by identifier. PlaneVector automatically generates a complete navigation log with leg distances, headings, estimated fuel, and time en route based on your aircraft profile and current winds aloft. Departure and destination weather are shown inline so you can brief and plan in one place.
WEATHER BRIEFING
Get decoded METARs, TAFs, SIGMETs, PIREPs, and winds aloft for any airport. Flight categories are color-coded for fast go/no-go assessment. Density altitude, crosswind components, and ceiling/visibility risks are computed automatically — no mental math required.
DIGITAL LOGBOOK
Log every flight with the detail you need and the format regulators expect. Import your existing logbook from ForeFlight, CSV, or other sources. Export to PDF for insurance, training, or checkride submissions. Currency calculations run automatically from your log — never miss a landing requirement or IFR recency deadline.
CURRENCY TRACKING
Track day and night passenger-carrying currency, IFR recency, flight review, and medical validity in one dashboard. Status indicators turn red before deadlines hit so you can schedule training proactively rather than react to an expired currency on the ramp.
AIRCRAFT & MAINTENANCE
Manage your aircraft's spec sheet, equipment list, and document vault (POH, W&B, STCs, insurance). View the complete maintenance history logged by your shop. Submit maintenance requests directly to connected A&P shops and track repair status in real time — no phone tag required.
PERFORMANCE & SAFETY TOOLS
Weight and balance calculator with configurable station profiles. Aircraft performance profiles for takeoff, cruise, and landing. True airspeed, density altitude, fuel burn, and crosswind calculators. Custom checklist builder for any aircraft or operation.
ENGINE HEALTH (JPI EDM)
Import engine monitor data directly from JPI EDM 700/800/900 series instruments. Review cylinder head temperatures, exhaust gas temperatures, and fuel flow trend by flight. Catch engine anomalies early with flight-by-flight health visualization.
OFFLINE FIRST
FAA chart tiles, airport data, and airspace information all download for offline use. PlaneVector works without a data connection — ideal for remote flying, international travel, or areas with poor coverage.
PlaneVector is part of the HangarForge platform, connecting pilots with maintenance shops for a complete general aviation management experience.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Offline charts now download the full sectional detail, including the most detailed zoom, and a download that already saved part of the chart continues the remaining levels. The progress on a chart row matches the bar at the bottom of Downloads. Clearing cached data removes it. TFRs update on their own, separate from obstacles. Swipe left to delete a logbook entry, an aircraft, or a flight. Map tools are larger, and a waypoint typed between two points is inserted there. The Flying summary sits above your home-airport weather.
