Built by Pilots, for Pilots
A free, non-commercial, and open database for airfield reports for general aviation worldwide.
Pilot Comments
Access thousands of pilot comments licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. Share your experiences, help fellow pilots, and benefit from real-world insights about airfields worldwide. Subscribe to the newest reports via RSS.
Landing Fees & Fuel Prices
Get personalized landing fee estimates for your aircraft via Aerops integration. Set your tailsign in your profile and see accurate pricing across supported airfields.
Interactive Map
Browse airfields visually with powerful filters. Filter by runway length, surface type, IFR capability, fuel availability, and more. Find any place instantly — search by ICAO code, landmark, city, or address with smart autocomplete. Plan multi-leg routes with great circle navigation: add aerodromes to your route, see each segment's distance in nautical miles with quarter-way markers, and track your total trip distance at a glance. Works great on mobile in fullscreen.
Powerful Lists
Organize airfields into custom collections. Save your favorites, plan trips, and share lists publicly. Import airfields from your ForeFlight or SkyDemon logbook and export any list as KMZ, e.g. for ForeFlight or Google MyMaps.
Auto-Translation
Pilot comments are automatically translated into 6 languages. Choose your preferred language or use language subdomains for a localized experience across the entire site.
Live Aviation Weather
Real-time METAR and TAF data with intelligent hazard detection. See the best runway for current wind, visualize cloud layers at a glance, and review potential hazard advisories for icing, low visibility, wind shear, and other risks decoded from aviation weather reports. Flight categories (VFR, MVFR, IFR, LIFR) are color-coded on the map for a quick overview.
Live Airport Webcams
See real-time conditions at airports with integrated webcams from Autorouter and Windy. Get a visual glimpse before your flight with live and timelapse views.

Trusted Data Foundation
Our airfield database combines FAA data for US airfields with OpenAIP and OpenFlightMaps community data for the rest of the world, and we enrich it with pilot comments, pricing, and real-world context. Beyond the basics — runway lengths, fuel availability, IFR capability, private/PPR status, elevation, and coordinates — we also curate official customs and immigration sources, lists, and websites to surface the information that matters most to visiting pilots, including operating times, ground contact details, phone numbers, and email addresses.
Customs & Immigration
Know where you can legally clear customs and immigration before you cross a border. We show availability for US, UK, Swiss, German, and other European airfields — each linked to the official government source: US CBP for the United States, UK Border Force via the GAR Annex A list for the United Kingdom, Swiss BAZG for Switzerland, Zoll (§ 22a "besondere Landeplätze" and the full Zollflugplätze list) for Germany, and more. Use the map filters to find Customs, Immigration, and Special Ports of Entry — helpful when flying from the southern US border (19 CFR § 122.24), visiting Greece, or planning any cross-border GA trip where clearance is not a given.
CBP Fact Sheets
For every US airport of entry that publishes one, we link straight to the official CBP General Aviation Airport Fact Sheet — the same PDF CBP hands to visiting pilots, with clearance procedures, hours, phone numbers, and any airport-specific quirks. We track the CBP index, cache new and updated fact sheets as they're published, and expose the most recent document on the airfield page so you don't have to go hunting on cbp.gov before a border crossing.
