About SkyVector

SkyVector was founded in 2006. The company is based in Seattle, Washington. It is an online provider of aeronautical charts and flight planning services. SkyVector serves pilots and flight planners worldwide through its website and online tools.

The company offers worldwide aeronautical charts through its website. Users can view sectional charts, terminal area charts, and enroute charts. World VFR charts and world high and low altitude charts are also available. The online mapping system allows pilots to plan routes and review airspace on any device with an internet connection.

SkyVector provides a flight planning suite for pilots. Users can create flight plans with aircraft profiles. These profiles cover climb speed, cruise speed, and descent speed. The system calculates fuel burn for each phase of flight. Users can also add extra time and fuel settings to their plans.

The website lets users overlay weather and data on the charts. Available layers include METARs, TAFs, temporary flight restrictions, and pilot reports. Users can also view sigmets, airmets, icing forecasts, and turbulence data. Radar, satellite imagery, cloud top heights, and winds aloft are displayed as well.

SkyVector includes airport information and FBO listings. The map shows retail jet fuel prices and avgas prices. Logged in users can access contract fuel prices. The site also displays DROTAMs. These are drone NOTAMs that mark unmanned aircraft operating areas.

Users can file flight plans directly through the site. The system links with the Leidos Flight Service portal at 1800wxbrief.com. Filed plans can be viewed, amended, or cancelled there. Free registration lets users save pilot details, home base information, and aircraft profiles. These details are then pre filled into future flight plans.

SkyVector allows media outlets to use screenshots in broadcasts or online publications. The screenshots must be attributed to SkyVector. Any screenshot published on the web must include a link to SkyVector.com.
