B4UFly or Kittyhawk app for Canada?

pelagic_one · Jul 14, 2020

Greetings from a neighbor below the border!

I know it’s practically impossible for a Californian to fly up there anymore, but if I’m just envisioning flying in your many beautiful provinces, which app would best show your allowable airspace? I also have young cousins in BC and Manitoba who want to get into the hobby, so I’d like to help guide them to safe and legal flying practices.

Merci, in advance!

Also AirMap is free and covers Canada as well.

I would go with Air map ! as an Albertan .
I have not tried Foreflight but it sounds decent .

B4UFly is an FAA App, and doesn't cover Canada very well.

I read his question as looking for an equivalent app to B4UFLY for Canada.

Sorry, not this year. I use: flight radar, (for current local air traffic landing patterns), UAV Forecast, Drone Pilot Canada, (General planning and regs), Ventusky, (wind patterns) and Airmap.

Thanks for hopping into this thread, Everyone. I’m good at this point, with some apps to checkout. When they let us again, come fly around the SF Bay Area with our groups down here.

Fly on! ?

Alberta is definitely in our travel plans, since my wife has always wanted to see Banff and Lake Louise; although we hobbyists will never fly there. I just recently watched a drone video over the Calgary Stampede, flying over thousands of people, and just knew it had to be circa 2017. Certainly one of the most picturesque provinces!
