IFR route building, pre-flight briefing and performance planning in one app, from the departure runway to the missed approach. Built for pilots and students who want to study a flight properly before they fly it.
Before an instrument flight a pilot has to gather a lot of separate information and piece it together by hand, usually with several websites, paper or PDF charts and manual calculations. IFR Navigation Planner puts it all on one map and one briefing screen.
On iPad the map gets the full screen: ARTCC, MSA, restricted airspace and procedure layers, plus winds aloft from 3,000 ft to FL530.
Pick departure and destination runways and let Auto Route build the plan, or paste route text from your OFP.
See SIDs, STARs, approach and missed approach, then switch on airspace, MSA and nearby waypoints.
Enter altitude and speed. The app computes EET with live winds and shows hazards, NOTAMs and the flight profile.
Set a departure time to see whether an alternate is required, and whether your choice meets forecast minimums.

IFR Navigation Planner is a study and simulation tool for pre-flight planning and education. It is not approved for in-flight or operational navigation and is not a substitute for official charts, publications, weather briefings, NOTAMs or ATC instructions. Automatically generated routes are indicative only. Always verify all information with current official sources. The pilot in command remains solely responsible for the safety of the flight.
The app is on its way to the App Store. Send a note and you will hear the moment it is live.
