The Flitesoft EFB



Note: All figures below are actual photographs - not simulated screens.


There are differences in EFB packages. Flitesoft's EFB includes:


More Raster Charts
That’s the whole idea for an EFB - always have all the charts you may need. Other EFB packages provide many, but not all of the charts you need. Or they offer all the types of charts but limit the coverage area. The Flitesoft EFB provides:

  • Approaches - every approach in the 48 states plus Alaska (NOTE: Military-only approaches are not included)
  • Low/High Enroute charts - every chart in the 48 states
  • Sectionals - every chart in the 48 states plus Alaska
  • Terminal Area charts - every chart in the 48 states
  • VFR Flyways - every chart in the 48 states
  • Plus any chart that you scan

More Vector Charts
A virtually infinite choice of vector (computer drawn) charts with IFR and VFR themes, weather, terrain clearance, topography, and the highest resolution terrain display in the business (90-meter with shaded relief for the 48 states plus part of Canada and Mexico). Detailed Road Maps for all 50 states.


More Ways to Obtain Weather
Some EFBs have limited weather capabilities. Others offer none. The Flitesoft EFB offers the most weather options:

  • DUAT - Both DTC and CSC DUAT
  • Live Weather - free, covers all US 48 states, and automatic, without cookies or ads
  • XM WxWorx satellite weather compatibility in cockpit (WxWorx receiver and subscription required)
  • Local seven-day forecast

More Ways to Show Weather
The Flitesoft EFB provides all of the following weather graphics:
  • High resolution NexRad radar plus radar-in-motion (USA 48 states)
  • Comprehensive, read-at-a-glance METAR/TAF information
  • Current icing potential, winds aloft and more (USA 48 states)
All weather graphics include a currency function and most have an altitude or time adjustment.


More Aircraft Profiles
The Flitesoft EFB includes performance and weight & balance profiles for over 175 piston-powered aircraft. The Commercial version includes all those plus ready-to-use data on over 75 turbine-powered aircraft. And it’s easy to add additional aircraft.
