XC Planner
Plot a cross-country route, see leg distances and total ETE, and check whether the route satisfies FAA cross-country qualifying criteria (§ 61.1, § 61.109, § 61.129). Airport coordinates are bundled (~25,000 US public-use airports + heliports, no internet required for the math). Toggle the layer control on the map for OSM streets, terrain, or FAA VFR sectionals.
Planning aid, not for navigation. VFR sectional tiles served via VFRMap.com from public FAA charts; chart currency rolls every 56 days, so verify the effective date and check NOTAMs before any actual flight. This tool does not include weather, TFRs, or temporary airspace — it's for distance + time + fuel + cert-qualifying math, nothing more.

Preset values are nominal — verify against your POH before flight.
