Why it matters
Built for fast situational awareness, not feature bloat.
Airport Awareness is designed to answer the important question quickly: what airports are near me, where are they, and how far away are they? It stays focused on the essentials so the first-run experience feels instantly useful.
Who it’s for
Pilots first. Handy for spotters and aviation nerds too.
Pilots
Quickly understand nearby airports, bearing, and airport type when you want a fast situational reference.
Spotters
See which fields are nearby, orient yourself on the map, and make sense of what is around you without digging through clutter.
Aviation enthusiasts
Explore airports around you with a calmer, more focused interface than the usual kitchen-sink aviation apps.
Live compass & bearing
Point your device and instantly see the live bearing to your selected airport. Switch between cardinal directions, degrees, or both, and view the bearing from your perspective or from the airport’s.
Nearby airports, sorted fast
Quickly identify nearby airports by distance. Choose nautical miles, miles, kilometres, metres, or feet, and stop guessing which field is closest.
Map view for quick situational awareness
See nearby airports on a map, focus any field with a tap, and understand your position and bearings at a glance.
Filter by airport type
Large, medium, small, heliport, or seaplane base. Show only the airports that matter for the kind of flying you are doing.
Calm, focused interface
No clutter, no ads, no nonsense. Airport Awareness is built to stay fast, lightweight, and easy to read when you want answers quickly.
