Fuel-aware routes
Plan around aircraft range, cruise speed, fuel burn, reserve, and preferred stop time instead of treating every airplane the same.
AeroTrailFuel-aware flight planner for iPhone and iPad
Plan the cross-country. Know every leg.
Build practical general aviation routes around your aircraft, fuel range, stops, and flying days—then carry a cleaner plan into final flight preparation.
Built before the briefing
A calm workspace for the route before the route.
AeroTrail is a fuel-aware general aviation trip planner for iPhone and iPad. Start with a departure, add the destinations worth flying to, and choose an aircraft profile. AeroTrail turns those choices into a plan you can inspect on a map, in a stop list, or as a day-by-day brief.
AeroTrail focuses on shaping the trip before the final briefing, with current official navigation, weather, NOTAM, fuel, airport, and regulatory resources completing your flight preparation.
What you can plan
More than a line between airports.
Practical fuel stops
AeroTrail can suggest fuel stops whenever a route calls for one based on your safe planning range, while keeping route fit and airport preferences in view.
Day-by-day briefs
Compare relaxed, balanced, and longer-day plans with distance, flight time, ground time, fuel stops, and overnights organized by day.
Routes you can refine
Pin important stops, mark overnights, add rest days, apply airport preferences, reorder destinations, and optimize again when the trip changes.
Aircraft profiles
Start with a built-in profile or create your own using the performance and fuel assumptions that shape your cross-country planning.
.fpl export
Export a full trip or one flying day at a time for compatible flight-planning workflows when the route is ready for final review.
The current iOS experience
See the trip before you fly it.
Native on iPad
Give a long trip the room it deserves.
AeroTrail’s purpose-built iPad layout keeps route context, map detail, stops, and planning actions visible in a workspace designed for a larger screen.
