Description
EFB (Electronic Flight Bag) supports paperless operations, and give pilots access to charts, plates, weather, and other data.
*****Free 1-Month Subscription*****
Use EFB free for a full month. After the trial period has ended, you may purchase a monthly or yearly subscription.
*****Focus on Design*****
EFB is designed with extensive user testing, to allow for an easy operation. All functions are just one touch away so last minute runway or approach changes are a breeze. EFB's intuitive design utilizes iPad's gesture-based interface and makes for very pilot friendly operation.

*****Data*****
All chart & plate data comes directly from GlobalNavSource, no 3rd party subscriptions required. The GlobalNavSource plates leverage FAA & ICAO symbology in a database that covers the world. GlobalNavSource provides seamless compilations of VFR and IFR chart sources, for the easiest chart-browsing experience.
* IFR High
* IFR Low
* VFR Sectionals
* VFR Terminal Area Charts
Professional users will appreciate the tailored plates for low visibility/SMGCS, Deice, Ramp/Gate, Special Approaches, RNP SAAR, tailored minimums and more.
*****Updates*****
Updates are a breeze. Data updates are handled in the background, while using the app, so using the app is not disrupted. In addition, EFB caches upcoming plates and charts before they are needed, so you are ready to fly.
Updates are accomplished wirelessly and only plates that change are updated. This greatly reduces bandwidth and speeds the update process in comparison to NACO based apps.
*****Weather*****
* METARs and TAFs - view information from thousands of weather stations around the world
* Chart overlays - display METAR weather layers on all chart types
*****Part 135 & Part 121 Operators*****
Part 135 & Part 121 operators require controlled software for FAA approval of paperless ops. EFB 121 is the controlled version of this app. Operators requiring EFB 121 for paperless operations may contact sales@globalnavsource.com for more information.

Customer Reviews
Affordable, functional, no hidden costs.
Gets better with every update. Support is quick to respond. Geo-reference position on north-up taxi diagrams and most approach plates included. Recently added route displayed on VFR/IFR charts. All screens quick and responsive, even on old iPad 1.

This program will sell worldwide maps and charts, but only if you are American.
Why would that be? There are other pilots out there who are also professional!
