The NGA Aeronautical Application or Aero App, is an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) mobile application developed by and for the DOW and FAA flight crews. This application provides crews with the flight publications and data required to execute the unique mission of the U.S. War Fighter. Aero App increases situational awareness and improves safety of navigation by providing easy access to aeronautical information including the Digital Aeronautical Flight Information File (DAFIF), Digital Flight Information Publications (D-FLIP) products, Georeferenced Airport Diagrams and Instrument Approach Procedures (IAPs), Arrival Procedures, Departure Procedures, Takeoff and Landing Minimums, Supplements, Airfield Qualification Program (AQP), Giant Reports, Electronic-Instrument Procedure Library (E-IPLs) and Host Nation Charts just to name a few.

As the world’s authoritative source for aeronautical data, NGA is able to provide flight crews access to data on over 47,000 airfields worldwide via the application. In addition, Aero App features an integrated E6B flight computer for flight planning on the ground and in air calculations; a note pad; access to user documents and custom user maps.
