What is AirportNotes?

AirportNotes is the airport notebook built by pilots, for pilots. Read what other crews learned at the airports you fly to, write your own briefing notes, and keep runway and airport data at hand — even when you’re offline.

Why AirportNotes?

Every airport has its own habits: the STAR you can expect, the approach usually in use, the long taxi to a remote stand, the frequency that isn’t on the chart page you had open. Pilots share this kind of knowledge in the crew room. AirportNotes keeps it in one place, so you can improve your situational awareness before you arrive.

Community notes from real crews

  • Read notes shared by pilots for thousands of airports worldwide
  • Arrival and departure tips: STARs, approaches, SIDs, taxi routes, stands, NADPs and handling
  • Sort by most recent or most popular, and filter by topic and note language
  • Mark notes as helpful and see which tips other pilots trust
  • Share a note with your crew using a simple link
  • Report inappropriate notes and block users you don’t want to see

Brief it your way

Write a quick note for a fast reminder, or a briefing note with ready-made Arrival (STAR, Approach, Taxi, Stand) and Departure (SID, Runway, NADP) sections. Every note has a topic and a language, and your preferred note language is selected automatically.
