VatView

VATSIM map and information app

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

VatView is a mobile app that allows flight simulation enthusiasts to track ATC presence and flight information on the VATSIM network. VatView aims to be your ultimate VATSIM companion! It provides easy access to active VATSIM terminal area ATC stations and frequencies and exposes the ATIS message easily. It also shows enroute ATC, including marking land, oceanic, UIR and FSS VATSIM controlled areas on the map. VatView features three main views: - a map displaying all pilots and air traffic controllers currently connected to the VATSIM network. - A filterable and searchable list page - displaying a detailed list of all connected pilots and ATC. - An airport search page - which concentrates all connected ATC, active flights and prefiled flight plans for a specific airport. VATSIM (short for the Virtual Air Traffic Simulation Network) is a completely free online platform that allows Flight simulator enthusiasts connect and fly virtually on one shared virtual aviation eco system. It simulates Air Traffic Control (ATC) with full voice and network connection between virtual pilots flight on flight simulator software and virtual air traffic controllers using software for providing ATC services. It is as real as it gets. It supports Microsoft's Flight simulator (MSFS, FSX and FS9), P3D and X-Plane. For more information visit https://www.vatsim.net. Features: - An Interactive map displaying VATSIM pilots and ATC - Detailed aircraft and terminal ATC station Icons - Enroute and FSS control areas - Live METAR (weather) data for any airport - ATC Bookings - Always up to date FIR boundaries synced with VATSpy's data project - Detailed flight information - Filterable and searchable list screen - An easy way to get all relevant terminal area stations with the relevant ATIS message * The app uses the storage permission to cache large airspace data it needs to display on the map.

VatView 2.0 is a complete visual redesign — rebuilt from the ground up with an immersive, full-bleed map experience, a modern floating UI, and landscape orientation support. Immersive Map Interface - The map now fills the entire screen edge-to-edge — no more chrome or navigation bars covering the map - All UI elements float over the map as translucent pills and panels - New floating navigation island at the bottom replaces the traditional tab bar - Smooth cross-fade transitions between tabs - Light and dark themes with custom map styling for each Redesigned Detail Panels - Tapping a pilot, controller, or airport opens a translucent bottom sheet with progressive disclosure - Swipe up to reveal more detail — flight plan, route, weather, ATC info - Landscape mode shows details in a side panel instead of a bottom sheet Aircraft Icons - Aircraft markers now use type-specific SVG icons for 50+ aircraft types - Icons match aircraft category (narrow-body, wide-body, turboprop, GA, helicopter, military) - Ground aircraft (parked / taxiing slowly) are hidden at wider zoom levels to reduce clutter ATC Overlays - Real TRACON boundary polygons replace the previous 80km circles for approach controls - FIR/UIR boundaries rendered as polygons with theme-aware colors - UIR boundaries show the merged outer boundary across combined sectors - Airport markers show staffed ATC positions and traffic count badges Landscape Orientation - The app now works in landscape — rotate your device for a wider map view - Detail panel slides in from the right in landscape mode - Navigation island and filter chips reposition correctly for landscape List & Search - Tap any pilot or controller in the list to jump directly to their location on the map - Filter chips match the floating map filter style - Scheduled flights tab shows upcoming bookings and prefiles with date filtering Events & Bookings - Dedicated Events tab with full event details and route info - ATC Bookings view shows upcoming staffing schedules Settings - Theme picker (light/dark) - Version info including OTA update channel and build details Under the Hood - Updated all components - Custom design token system for consistent theming across all components
