Charts is the first iPhone app for pilots they can use to visulize a route of flight on a sectional chart. Routes are elegantly adorned with bright airport markers that, when tapped, reveal important airport information like MSL elevation and tower or CTAF frequencies.

The Search feature in Charts quickly takes you to the airport you are looking for or the route you would like to explore. Search interprets simple routes like "SFO JFK" and more detailed routes that include ground speed and fuel burn. Simply edit the search input and enter a new identifier to modify your route of flight. Enter units in knots per hour, miles per hour, gallons per hour liters per hour, and pounds per hour.
Search is intelligent and fast. This makes answering simple preflight questions quick and easy.
Charts works in any orientation: landscape, portrait, right side up, or upside down.
Turn your iPhone or iPod touch sideways, and the controls and menu bars intelligently disappear from view, allowing full screen enjoyment of the high resolution charts visible within!
