Getting started with ClearProp
Sign in, add your aircraft and cruise speed, and find your way around the ClearProp home map in under a minute.
Transcript
Welcome to ClearProp, a VFR navigation aid for Canada and the US. Sign in with Google or with email. Accept the terms, then add your pilot profile and aircraft, or skip straight to the map. The home map shows your route, with an Up next card and a Fly button. Tap your initials for the pilot menu: logbook, saved routes, nearby airports, aircraft and settings. Under Aircraft, check your registration and type, and add a cruise speed if you like; ClearProp uses it for time estimates. Pull up the card to see nearby airports and your saved routes. Next, we'll plan a route. ClearProp is not approved by Transport Canada or the FAA, and it is not a replacement for official charts.

Plan a VFR route with checkpoints
Pick your departure and destination, drop a checkpoint with your own notes and radio actions, check the route information, and save the route.
Transcript
In this tutorial we'll plan a VFR route, add a checkpoint with our own notes, and save it. Open the planner and enter your departure and destination airports in From and To. We're going from Springbank to Red Deer. ClearProp draws the leg and shows the distance and time at your planned speed. Tap Checkpoint. Move the map until the crosshair sits on the spot you want, then tap Drop here. Give the checkpoint a code and a name, describe what you'll see from the air, and add a callout. Set how far out you want the alert. Add a radio action, such as switching to the ATIS. The nav preview shows what you'll see in flight. Then tap Save checkpoint. The checkpoint now sits between your two airports in Route points. Route information lists each leg's distance and true course, plus the frequencies and where that data comes from. Under Saved routes, give the route a name and tap Save new. Saved routes sync to your account, and you can load, share, rename or delete them here. Back on the map, the route is up next and ready to fly. Next, we'll take it offline. ClearProp is not approved by Transport Canada or the FAA, and it is not a replacement for official charts.

Download offline maps for your route
Check the size, download the map for your VFR route before you fly, and confirm it's ready offline before take-off.
Transcript
Cell signal comes and goes in the air, so download your route's map before you fly. In the route panel, open Offline maps and tap Check size. ClearProp shows an estimated download size for this route; download on Wi-Fi before you leave. Tap to download. When it says Ready offline, the map for this route is stored on your phone. Details lists the map areas and data versions, and you can tap Check for update or delete the download here. On every plan, ClearProp keeps one route's offline map at a time; a new download replaces it. Before take-off, Confirm and start shows the offline package as Ready. Next, we'll fly the route. ClearProp is not approved by Transport Canada or the FAA, and it is not a replacement for official charts.

Fly a VFR route with ClearProp
Confirm and start, follow the course to each checkpoint, mark checkpoints passed, and check nearby airports in flight.
Transcript
Let's fly the route. When you're ready, tap Fly. Confirm and start checks your route, aircraft, cruise speed, GPS and offline package. Weather and NOTAMs are your job, checked outside ClearProp; the app navigates, it is not a briefing source. Aviate, navigate, communicate: fly the aircraft first. ClearProp is a supplemental aid. The big number is the course to your next point. It's course, not your heading. Set a target altitude for the leg; it's pilot-set, shown next to your GPS altitude. In cruise you see distance and time to the next point, plus ground speed and altitude from GPS. Near a checkpoint, its card shows the notes you wrote when you planned. Tap Mark passed when you're over it; ClearProp turns to the next leg, and you can undo it. Tap any airport on the map to see it. Details show its runways and other information; always confirm with official sources. Next, we'll end the flight. ClearProp is not approved by Transport Canada or the FAA, and it is not a replacement for official charts.

End a flight and log it with ClearProp
Set your arrival, record the landing, end the flight, and turn the prefilled draft into a logbook entry you've reviewed.
Transcript
Let's bring it in and log the flight. Before you arrive, set the arrival configuration: enter what ATC gave you, the runway, left or right, and the operation. It's recorded as an ad-hoc configuration you can undo; nothing auto-sequences. On final, the arrival panel stays in view. After landing, tap Record full stop, and one landing will appear in the draft. Nearby airports shows the field you're at, with runway and frequency; verify with official sources. End flight shows the route flown, session time, landings and checkpoints. Ending saves a draft; nothing is logged yet. The draft is prefilled, and fields marked Confirm need your review. Confirm the flight time, check landings, day or night, and choose PIC, SIC, dual or solo. When every required field is confirmed, tap Finalize entry. The flight is now in your logbook, with the planned and flown track. Fly safe. ClearProp is not approved by Transport Canada or the FAA, and it is not a replacement for official charts.
The videos were recorded with a test account and simulated GPS, not a real flight. ClearProp is a supplemental aid, not a certified EFB or primary navigation source. The pilot in command stays responsible. It is not approved or certified by Transport Canada, the FAA, EASA or any other aviation authority, and it does not replace official charts.
