    Home & workflow

    • Home hub — choose Full journey, Taxi, Flight plan, Departure or Arrival

    • Full journey mode — taxi out (with SID on the same panel) → enroute plan → taxi in / STAR, without wiping layers

    • 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

    • Streaming tools - OBS Stream Overlay

    • Sharing cards - for posting flights to social media

    Pilot Career (optional)

    • Economy mode on the same home page — cash, airborne hours, flights, station

    • Sightseeing job board — hire a C172, accept short hops, DCT plan on the map

    • Mission panel — Start tracking, Show plan (redraw after relaunch), End / Cancel

    • Hangar — hire fees, buy your own C172, hull repair

    • Airlines — coming soon after building hours

    Surface / taxi

    • Interactive taxi charts from OpenStreetMap (taxiways, runways, aprons, gates)

    • Airport search by ICAO, IATA, name or city

    • Gate/stand numbers on the map when zoomed in (decluttered when zoomed out)

    • Taxi clearance builder + best-route pathfinding to the true runway end

    • Taxi-in after landing (early exits, direction-aware)

    • Load both departure and destination airports for gate-to-gate surface views

    Flight planning

    • Built-in enroute planner (DCT / fixes via OurAirports navaids)

    • Save and load flight plans locally

    • SimBrief: open Dispatch with dep/dest/aircraft prefilled

    • SimBrief: import your latest OFP by username or pilot ID and draw it on the map

    Procedures & live sim

    • Departure SIDs and Arrival STARs on the same chart

    • Live MSFS integration (SimConnect): aircraft on the map, Follow, Follow plan

    (highlights active path segment + remaining NM), “Use aircraft location” as taxi start

    • Sim traffic layer — nearby MSFS AI / injected aircraft (callsign, alt, GS)

    • Weather radar — precipitation overlay along your route

    • VATSIM pilots — live network traffic in the map view

    • VATSIM ATC radar — online controllers as colour-coded visual-range circles

    • IVAO pilots — live network traffic layer

    • Local cache so airports you’ve opened load faster next time

    • Runs in its own window on Windows (second monitor friendly)

    • Optional in-sim EFB / toolbar panel (Community install) for MSFS 2024

    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.

    WE ARE LISTED ON THE MICROSOFT STORE IF YOU WOULD RATHER THAT APPROACH BUT NOTE THAT VERSION IS SLOWER TO RECIEVE UPDATES!

    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!

    We are now on the Official Microsoft Store! This if proof that NavApron is not a virus, if you would like to download from there instead you can find the link on the website but it may not be as up to date as this version.

    This is a product I have been looking for for several years.
    Before, you arrive at a large airport, are given a gate number, and the search for that gate begins. What about the taxiways? You can't see it anywhere. Meanwhile, other aircraft are queuing behind you, and the stress level starts to rise. What if you simply can't find it?

    This app solves all those problems and makes taxiing so much easier. You simply search for the gate, and the suggested taxi route is displayed. Alternatively, you can enter the taxi instructions given by ATC. The taxi route is then drawn on the interactive charts, allowing you to follow your position in real time.

    Perfect!

    Thanks a lot for this wonderful app.

    WOW, This add on is simply SENSATIONAL! It is easy to set up, clean design and I haven't seen any performance issues which is good. The integration with SimBrief also makes this seamless to use. Bravo to the devs on this! If you haven't downloaded it then WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! If I could give it more than 5 stars I would.

    MINOR FEEDBACK: I did try and join the Discord to keep up to date with development but unfortunately all the links to the Discord are invalid.

    Hello, on startup of the program I'm getting a blank screen and the following error: --- Logging error ---
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "logging\__init__.py", line 1154, in emit
    AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'write'

    And ideas how to remedy this? I'm running MSFS 2020
    Also, it may have something to do with the webview folder as I deleted MS Edge (useless program) and some webview programs that ran in the background and just took up memory. Hopefully there's a solution to adjust a file to get the program up and connected to Simbrief and MSFS. Thanks
