OpenVFR user guide

OpenVFR is a free, open-source Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) for VFR pilots: airspace awareness, terrain and obstacle profiles, aviation charts and route planning, built on open data. It is free; you sign in with a free account (a passkey or an email code).

Situational awareness only. OpenVFR is not certified by any aviation authority and must not be used as a primary means of navigation or for airspace compliance. The pilot in command is solely responsible for flight safety. Always cross-check with official charts, the AIP and current NOTAMs.
