RWY For Android

The Droid you've been looking for!

RWY takes the intuitive design of OzRunways EFB and brings it to Android in a way that feels familiar but also feels truly Android. RWY turns your Android phone or tablet into an Electronic Flight Bag with everything you need to safely plan, brief and navigate flights.

What's New in v5

We welcome our most intuitive and easy-to-navigate RWY map screen!

NOTAM Category Filtering

Using the buttons on the right of SmartBrief, you can filter out the NOTAM categories that do not affect you, or hide individual ones completely.

Visual NOTAMs

We extract geolocation data for every NOTAM in Australia and New Zealand. Now you can visualise, filter, and easily read NOTAMs and airspace.

Plain-English Translation

Using AI text decoding, NOTAMs with unfamiliar acronyms can be translated into human-readable summaries.

Dynamic Activation Times

Airspace activation times are now more detailed, including amendments by NOTAM. Use the SmartBrief time slider to see whether your flight is impacted. Human-readable activation times make them easier to read.

Quick Plan

You can now create a flight plan by typing a successive list of waypoint names or codes, with a suggestion list available as you type. Once all desired waypoints have been entered press ‘Start’ to construct the plan.

Aircraft Profiles

RWY’s highly anticipated feature makes the jump between aircraft both swifter and more precise. Simply enter the values from the aircraft’s POH once, and these details will be automatically populated every time you create a new flight plan for that aircraft.

OzRunways eAWIS

An exclusive feature for RWY and OzRunways subscribers! eAWIS uses the one-minute observation data from the Bureau of Meteorology, available at locations with an Aerodrome Weather Station. eAWIS is created from unverified one-minute observation data from BoM. For situational awareness only.

ScratchPad

Access ScratchPad by tapping the pen icon next to 'Choose Map'. ScratchPad is your digital notepad, use your finger as a pen to take down notes, ATIS, traffic etc. ScratchPads can be printed and/or shared.

ADS-B Integration

Low cost, portable ADS-B IN/OUT devices allow all pilots to enjoy the benefits of increased situational awareness, by allowing other aircraft to appear on EFBs as traffic bubbles. Every RWY subscription includes the ability to integrate with GDL90 compatible ADS-B receivers and connecting is easy from inside RWY.

Plain Text in SmartBrief

Don't waste time trying the decode unfamiliar forecast acronyms. The SmartBrief Plain Text Translator converts Area Forecasts to a human-readable version. Look for the translate icon (? --> A) to see this feature in action.

Waypoint Range Rings

Add a custom range ring to any waypoint. Use to display an area of high traffic, a 10nm inbound call point, planned glide distances, or even a great scenic area! Set the distance and colour from our rainbow of options.

Airport Diagram Double Tap

We've created a shortcut from the map so you can quickly pull up an airport diagram. Turn this feature on in Preferences, to enable a shortcut straight to an airport diagram when double tapping on the location waypoint.

As well as dozens of other minor changes, improvements and bug fixes.
