You can also tailor your own checklist to fit the needs of your aircraft.

You can adjust the maximum allotted wind speed if you have a smaller aircraft.

Naviator is a newer application that is difficult to learn but extremely helpful to those who know how to use it. Features include air traffic, waypoints, and in-depth weather forecasts. The GPS is compatible with precision Google Earth technology. Your GPS can also replay the flight through Google Earth, so you always have a chance to relive your amusing flights.
