• Layer chips — show/hide taxi-out, enroute, taxi-in, SID, STAR, active leg, aircraft
• Fit chart / Fit all — zoom to airport or to the whole drawn journey
• Keep on top — pin NavApron above other windows while you fly
• Collapsible sidebar — hide for full-width map; Menu tab on the map edge to reopen
• Airline roleplay panel — create a virtual airline, log MSFS flights, career stats + logbook

Notes
SID/STAR tracks are approximate for sim use (not official AIP plates).
Surface data quality depends on OpenStreetMap coverage at each airport.
Live aircraft requires MSFS and NavApron on the same PC, with a flight loaded.
SimBrief OFP generation happens on SimBrief’s site; NavApron imports the result.
Safety / antivirus note
NavApron is free sim software and is safe to run. Some PCs show Windows
SmartScreen or antivirus warnings because the app is not yet code-signed
(common for indie desktop builds). This is a false positive, not a virus.
Only install from the official download. If Windows blocks it: More info →
Run anyway. Optional: add an exclusion for the NavApron folder after you
verify the source.
PLEASE NOTE THAT IN ORDER TO USE ON A MOBILE BROWSER YOU MUST HAVE THE PC VERSION OF THE APP OPEN AND ENABLED LAN CONNECTION!
