What you can do

Depart from an airport

Search for an airport, select it and prepare your flight. Maps and terrain use data supplied by their providers.

Fly manually or use Auto

Use PC controls or a mobile joystick, or let automatic flight take you towards a destination.

Explore different views

Switch between chase, orbit, cockpit and both window seats, and use the route map and travel speed controls.

Requirements and mobile controls

Start for free without an installation or account. On a PC, use a keyboard and mouse; Chrome or Edge is recommended.

On mobile, use the joystick and throttle, rudder and brake buttons that appear once flight preparation finishes. Destination selection and Auto are also available.

Availability and performance depend on the device, internet connection and browser WebGL2 support. Touch controls are provided, but smooth flight is not guaranteed on every device.

Scope and limitations

Device capability, map coverage and data update times affect availability and appearance. Aircraft handling, interiors, lighting and weather include approximations and visual estimates. This is not a certified tool for real flight operations, navigation, weather decisions or pilot training.

Data and asset credits

CesiumJS renders the globe. The app uses OurAirports airport data and public map and terrain sources. Original authors and usage conditions for the aircraft and other external assets are listed in the source and license notices.
