The features below are free to download and fly. Pro adds AI, cloud sync, community and a scheduler for $5/month.
FAA charts and a moving map you can trust
Fly the sectional, TAC, flyway, helicopter, and IFR enroute charts with a georeferenced ownship — track-up or north-up, with range, speed and glide rings.
- VFR & IFR charts plus a vector map with airspace
- Movable instrument tiles: GS, ALT, track, ETA, ETE & more
- Topo & color-coded terrain and elevation layers
- Download once, then fly fully offline
Weather, winds and layers at a glance
Layer live and FIS-B weather right on the map and make a confident go/no-go call.
- METAR, TAF, PIREP, AIRMET, SIGMET & TFRs, color-coded
- Animated internet radar and ADS-B/FIS-B NEXRAD
- Winds-aloft vector field and ceilings at any altitude
- WPC surface/prog, SigWx, icing & turbulence products
Geo-referenced approach plates
Shoot approaches with your ownship drawn right on the plate, and layer weather on the procedure so you always know what's ahead.
- Approach plates, airport diagrams, departures & STARs
- Ownship position drawn on georeferenced plates
- Airport info, runways, NOTAMs, FBOs & alternates
Plan every leg, then file in seconds
Build a route, review a per-leg nav log with distance, ground speed, time and fuel, then file with the FAA without leaving AvareX.
- Per-leg distance, ground speed, time & fuel burn
- Winds & terrain en-route profile
- IFR preferred routes and recent ATC routes
- File, brief, activate & close FAA plans (1800wxbrief / LMFS)

Frequently asked questions
Is AvareX free?
Yes. The core AvareX electronic flight bag is free to download and fly, including the moving map, FAA charts, geo-referenced approach plates, ADS-B traffic, weather, and flight planning. An optional Pro subscription is $5/month and adds the Flight Intelligence AI assistant, cloud backup and sync, pilot community, and an aircraft scheduler.
Is AvareX a free alternative to ForeFlight?
AvareX is a full electronic flight bag with a free core (charts, plates, ADS-B traffic, weather, and flight planning) and an optional $5/month Pro tier — compared with the roughly $120–$300 per year that comparable paid EFB apps such as ForeFlight charge. AvareX also runs on Android, Windows, Linux, and Raspberry Pi in addition to iOS.
Does AvareX work on Android?
Yes. AvareX runs on Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux, and Raspberry Pi, so you are not limited to an iPad.
Does AvareX support ADS-B traffic?
Yes. AvareX connects to Stratux, Stratus, Echo, and other GDL90 receivers over Wi-Fi to display ADS-B traffic with altitude offset, trend, and audible alerts, plus a Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS).
Does AvareX work offline?
Yes. Core navigation works fully offline once you download the charts and databases. Internet is only required for downloads, live weather, AI features, FAA plan filing, and cloud backup.
How much does AvareX Pro cost?
AvareX Pro is $5 per month. It adds the Flight Intelligence AI assistant, cloud backup and sync, pilot community groups, and an aircraft scheduler for clubs and flight schools. Pro is available on iOS and Android.
Is AvareX FAA-certified?
No. AvareX is not an FAA-certified GPS and must not be used as a sole means of navigation. Always cross-check with official sources and certified equipment.
