Direct VFR

Direct VFR App Description

Direct VFR is a streamlined Android application that bridges the gap between flight planning and in-cockpit navigation. Designed specifically for pilots flying under Visual Flight Rules (VFR), this intuitive app transforms the way you prepare for and execute your flights by seamlessly connecting your planning process to your Garmin wearable device.

Key Features

Intuitive Route Planning

Create your flight path with unprecedented ease by simply tapping on a map. Direct VFR allows you to place waypoints precisely where you need them, then fine-tune your route through drag-and-drop adjustments. This flexibility lets you plan routes that align perfectly with your intended navigation, landmarks, and airspace considerations.

Automatic Navigation Logs

Say goodbye to manual calculations. Direct VFR instantly generates comprehensive VFR navigation logs from your created routes, complete with estimated time en route (ETE) factoring in winds. These ready-to-print logs serve as both your primary flight planning document and a reliable backup for in-cockpit reference.

Garmin Device Integration

Where Direct VFR truly excels is its seamless connectivity with compatible Garmin watches. With a few taps, your complete flight plan transfers to your wrist, allowing you to:

-Navigate your planned route directly from your Garmin watch
-Keep your attention outside the cockpit where it belongs
-Maintain instant access to critical navigation information
-Leave your phone safely stowed during flight
