CFIBastian Navigator

Flight planning, charts, and situational awareness in one place. Planned for iOS and Android phones and tablets, with real-world helicopter flight testing shaping the experience.

Development preview of the Navigator map with an FAA chart and route controls — Android development preview · October 23, 2026. Features and appearance may change.

Built around the flight

Plan, prepare, and fly with one workspace.

Navigator brings together route planning, offline chart preparation, airport details, weather, and supplemental in-flight views. Its tools are being tested in real flying; availability and coverage will be confirmed before release.

Flight planning

Build routes with airports, fixes, and custom waypoints. Review wind-adjusted leg estimates, time, and fuel, then export a PDF navigation log, GPX route, or text summary.

Charts you choose

Prepare selected FAA sectional, terminal area, IFR, and helicopter charts for offline use. Route-based downloads and regional data packages help focus storage on the areas you fly.

Airports and procedures

Review airport information and download available diagrams and approach plates. Aircraft-position overlays are supported on selected, reviewed diagrams and plates; coverage is expanding.

Weather and NOTAMs

Check available airport weather and FAA NOTAMs while connected. Saved information may remain available for reference offline, with its age and availability shown in the app.

One account across devices

Plan on the web. Open it in Navigator.

You can sign in on the website, build a flight plan with online charts, and save the route to your CFIBastian account. Navigator account sync is in testing. The goal is for a route saved in Navigator while offline to sync to the same account when the device reconnects. Downloaded charts and other changing data still need their own updates before flight.

Navigator will require an account from first use. A 30-day free trial tied to that account is planned for public release; trial activation and subscription access are not active yet.

Supplemental awareness

A clearer view beyond the chart.

Navigator is developing a synthetic-vision view of terrain, water, runways, obstacles, and supported traffic. It can use compatible Stratux GPS and attitude input, with a GPS-based view when attitude data is unavailable.

This view is supplemental situational awareness. It is not a primary flight instrument or a certified terrain-warning system.

Where things stand

Under active development and flight testing.

Navigator is planned for iOS and Android. One CFIBastian account and subscription across both platforms is the goal, with a planned 30-day free trial. A commercial release is targeted for late 2026, subject to testing. Subscription pricing and availability have not been announced.

Flight Service briefing and filing integration is planned, subject to provider access and approval. Exporting a route does not file, activate, or close a flight plan.
