CLUSTER FLIGHT-PILOTS-NAVIGATION · 32 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2009-01-06

Aviation flight planning and navigation apps

The cluster comprises mobile and web applications for pilots covering flight planning, navigation, weather, logbook management, and aviation reference. Dated entries appear sporadically from 2009 to 2026, with no strong concentration in any period, typically a single entry per month across that span. Traction leaders by activity are Air Navigation - VFR & IFR, SeeYou Navigator, and pilotbrief, all showing zero stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 20 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
