Tap any point on a VFR sectional and see its airspace. Free, offline, no ads.
Tap any point on a VFR sectional chart and see every layer of airspace above it, floor to ceiling. Free, with no subscription, no trial, no ads and no account. Built for student pilots preparing for the Private Pilot knowledge test and checkride.
WHY STUDENT PILOTS STRUGGLE WITH THE SECTIONAL
Class B shelves, Class C rings, Class D boxes and the faded magenta of Class E overlap on one page, and a printed legend does not tell you what is above the spot you are looking at. Sectional Atlas does: tap the chart and it lists the whole column, with Class B, C or D and its floor and ceiling, where Class E begins, special use airspace and the Mode C veil, and it outlines those areas on the chart.
WRONG ANSWER? SEE WHERE TO LOOK
Drill asks questions about the chart on screen: which airspace is at the marked point, how low the Class B floor is there, the CTAF or tower frequency of a field, its longest runway, where a symbol is. Every answer comes from the same FAA data the chart is drawn from. After a wrong answer the app outlines the airspace or points to the printed label that holds the right one, so you learn where to look instead of just reading "the answer is B".
TEST FIGURES YOU CAN ACTUALLY ZOOM
All 16 sectional chart figures of the Airman Knowledge Testing Supplement (FAA-CT-8080-2H) are in the app at full size, with 112 questions on their numbered areas. Pinch to zoom as far as you need. After each answer the figure zooms to the exact print the answer comes from, with a short explanation. Remote pilots studying for Part 107 use the same figures.
EVERY SECTIONAL, FREE TO DOWNLOAD
The Los Angeles sectional comes with the app. Any of the 52 sectionals of the lower 48, Alaska and Hawaii can be added for free: the app shows the size first and asks, and after that the chart works offline. No subscription is needed for more charts.
AIRPORT LABELS, DECODED
Tap an airport to read its chart label line by line: tower or CTAF frequency, field elevation, longest runway, UNICOM. The card lists tower, ground, ATIS, CTAF and UNICOM frequencies, every runway with length, width and surface, the magnetic variation and fuel. Online, it adds the latest METAR and TAF in plain words with the flight category. Tap an obstacle for its height above sea level and above the ground.
PLOT A LEG
Tap two points for the distance in nautical miles, the true and the magnetic course, and the VFR cruising altitude rule for that course.
PRACTICE TEST AND PROGRESS
A timed 15-question test drawn from the figures, scored only at the end against the 70% passing line, with a review of every miss. Progress shows how you do on each Private Pilot ACS element.
EVERY SYMBOL, A REAL EXAMPLE
Each symbol in the legend has a "Find one" button that jumps to a real example on the chart.

Sectional Atlas is a study aid. It is not affiliated with the FAA and is for training only, not for navigation. Chart images, airspace, airport and obstacle data and the test figures are US Government works published by the FAA; weather reports come from the NOAA Aviation Weather Center.
