Best Aviation Apps for Pilots, Spotters & Enthusiasts

Whether you fly planes, fly drones, or just love watching them — these are the apps every aviation enthusiast should have on their phone.

Best for Pilots

ForeFlight is the industry standard EFB. Jeppesen charts, weather, flight planning — if you fly GA, you probably already use this.

Real-time tracking of 90% of global flights. The 3D cockpit view alone is worth the $4/year subscription.

DJI Fly app is tightly integrated with DJI hardware. For airspace checks, use B4UFLY (FAA's official app) or Aloft.
