Features & Capabilities

pilotESsentials is a comprehensive Chrome extension designed to streamline flight preparation for pilots. Integrating certified data from DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung and DWD Deutscher Wetterdienst, it provides essential tools such as open flight maps, route planning, conversion tools, and detailed weather forecasts including GAFOR, METAR, and TAF data.

Available across multiple devices including Mac, PC, and smartphones, pilotESsentials synchronizes content with an active internet connection to ensure users have up-to-date information wherever they are. The free basic version covers fundamental planning features, while additional in-app purchases offer advanced options like detailed ICAO maps of Germany, the Aeronautical Information Manual for VFR flights, enhanced route memory, and a TripKit feature that compiles all necessary data into an offline-accessible PDF document. This extension is ideal for both novice and experienced pilots seeking reliable, centralized flight planning support.

User Reviews

Functionality is good but implementation is lacking - that's not enough for an app I'm paying for to use. - the app is often not responsive - download and extraction of AIP files takes very long and is prone to crashes - app uses too much CPU, I have a brand new phone and it struggles - I receive random messages, e.g. that my card material is not up to date right after downloading it - trip kit isn't working, the app freezes when I try to access it - no offline mode

All charts and AIP are charged extra. It is a bloody shame that DFS and its commercial outfit Eisenschmidt is one of the last european government agencies that charges money for material gathered with taxpayers' money and so hinders aviation safety. Come on Germany, do as other nations do.
