FAQ
I can’t access EFB (electronic flight bag) files
In order to access and see most of our EFB information, you must be a registered member. We offer a free membership and we require very little information to register.
Online maps not displaying data
Some of our maps contain a large amount of information. Many times, this data take a little bit of time to load especially on mobile devices. We suggest using our downloadable map data available to registered users. This data can be used in most EFBs or other mapping software.
How To
EFB (Electronic Flight Bag) data was initially developed by our community to add overlays in software such as ForeFlight and Garmin. This information can be used with mapping software such as Google Maps as well. To use this data, download the .KML / .KMZ file and import it into our software of choice.
Using EFB Data With ForeFlight
These instructions are specific to ForeFlight:
- Download the file of your choice by clicking on the link using your Ipad/Iphone.
- Once downloaded, click “open in” and then choose ForeFlight.
- Depending on the data selected, it may ask where to save the data. It is good practice to choose “Custom Content” -> “Custom Map Layers” if available.
- You should receive a message that states “Import Success” and click OK.
- To turn on your map layer, select the “hamburger stack” in the upper left corner of ForeFlight.
- Your map layers will be found in the second column at the bottom of the list.
