AvPlan EFB

AvPlan EFB is an electronic flight bag and flight planning app made by AvSoft Australia Pty Ltd, an Australian owned and operated company established in August 2011. The company is based at Moorabbin Airport in Melbourne, Victoria, and the app runs on the web, iOS and Android. Founder and director Bevan Anderson, a private pilot with VFR, IFR and commercial ratings, started work on AvPlan in 2010 when the iPad was launched, around the idea of a self-updating flight plan linked to inflight information.
