Charts are the home screen
VFR sectionals, IFR low and high, satellite and a decluttered night chart — your route, airspace, navaids, traffic and TFRs on a GPU moving map that renders entirely on-device. A full rotatable globe is one zoom away.

The whole flight deck, on-device.
Everything a glass cockpit gives you for situational awareness — charts, procedures, weather, traffic and planning — running offline on the iPad you already fly with.
Coded procedures & plates
FAA-coded approaches, SIDs and STARs draw to scale and load into your plan — with published holds on the correct side. Roughly 9,000 georeferenced approach plates snap to exact place, scale and orientation on the chart.
Weather & hazards
A full NOAA briefing — GOES, prog charts, METAR/TAF decoded, radar and animated winds aloft — plus NASA fire, storm and volcanic hazards on your route. Every chart you view is cached for offline re-open.
Engine-out, solvedNRST
Give it your altitude and the aircraft's glide ratio and it ranks every airport in gliding range — sweeping terrain along each path, so a field behind a ridge is shown blocked, not offered. One tap restores your plan.
Flight planning & hand-off
A ForeFlight-style route field parses into a colour-coded plan with live DIST, ETE, ETA, fuel and wind. Hand the plan to ForeFlight app-to-app, or export a Garmin .fpl — offline, no cell signal required.
On-device & offline
Charts, plates, airspace and navdata are bundled or downloaded once, then it flies with no signal. No backend to reach, no account required to fly, nothing to phone home to.
File your plan. It flies with you.
Paste a ForeFlight-style route and Obelisk parses it into a colour-coded plan on real VFR and IFR charts — with live DIST, ETE, ETA and fuel, and one-tap hand-off to ForeFlight.

Nothing leaves the device
Awareness you can depend on.
Charts, plates, procedures, airspace and the whole navigation database run locally — no backend to reach, no account required to fly, and no “no signal” page in the middle of a busy approach.
- Charts & navdata bundled or downloaded once
- Live weather, traffic & hazards when you have signal
- Everything else keeps working, fully offline
ON-DEVICE · OFFLINE
Every chart, plate and procedure runs on the device — it flies anywhere, with nothing to phone home to.
Downloads once. Then it works with no signal.
Flight-deck software, in your hands.
Real screens from Obelisk on iPad — the live chart, the flight bag and the night cockpit, all running on-device. No mockups.
Electronic Flight Bag
File your plan, it flies with you
Paste a route and Obelisk parses each airport, VOR and fix into a colour-coded plan on real charts — with the trip's distance, time, fuel and wind live underneath, and one-tap hand-off to ForeFlight.
- ForeFlight-style route entry, edits commit live
- DIST · ETE · ETA · fuel · wind at a glance
- Pack the route's plates for offline, by cycle
Moving map
The whole cockpit on the chart
A GPU chart engine renders FAA sectionals, airspace, airways, navaids, traffic, TFRs and your route entirely on-device — with tap-to-identify on anything and your flight plan, GPS and weather as cards you arrange.
- VFR, IFR low & high, satellite base layers
- Tap any airport, navaid, fix, airspace or TFR
- Live TFRs with the reason parsed from the NOTAM
Night mode
Tuned for every phase of light
Three cockpit themes — black, daylight-white and a true red night mode where the chart dims under a red wash and plates open pre-inverted, protecting your dark adaptation at altitude.
- Cockpit · Day · Night, the map recolours in place
- Red night-vision mode — essentially no blue light
- Floating widgets you drag, dock and resize
