How much storage do I need for aviation charts?

Regional chart coverage typically requires 1-2 GB of storage. Sectional charts are 50-100 MB each, IFR low/high charts are similar in size, and approach plates are approximately 1 MB per airport. You can selectively download only the charts you need to manage storage efficiently.

Does the moving map work offline without internet?

Yes! The moving map provides full offline navigation capabilities once charts are downloaded. GPS tracking, route display, and all chart features work without internet connection. Only weather overlays and chart downloads require internet connectivity.

How often are aviation charts updated?

IFR charts (enroute and approach plates) are updated every 28 days following the AIRAC cycle. VFR sectional charts are updated every 56 days. The app will automatically notify you when new chart editions are available for download.

What is the GPS accuracy of the moving map?

GPS position accuracy is typically 5-15 meters depending on your device's GPS receiver quality and satellite visibility. The app displays a real-time accuracy indicator so you know the confidence level of your position. For best results, ensure clear sky visibility.

Can I display traffic and weather on the moving map?

Yes! When connected to a compatible ADS-B receiver, the map displays nearby aircraft traffic with altitude, speed, and climb rate information. Weather overlays include NEXRAD radar, METARs, TAFs, PIREPs, cloud tops, and icing forecasts (requires internet or ADS-B weather).

Which aviation chart types are supported?

Pilot Kit supports all major chart types: VFR Sectional, Terminal Area Charts (TAC), IFR Low and High Altitude Enroute, Area Charts, Departure Procedures (SID), Arrival Procedures (STAR), and Approach Plates (ILS, GPS, VOR, visual). Charts are available for US, European, Canadian, and Australian airspace.

How does battery consumption compare during flight?

The moving map typically consumes 8-12% battery per hour with screen brightness at 50%. Battery usage varies based on map refresh rate (1-5 Hz adjustable), screen brightness, and whether you're using traffic/weather overlays. For longer flights, we recommend connecting to aircraft power or using a battery pack.
