What VNAV does

VNAV is a descent planning aid for pilots. It works on your device without an internet connection.

Information we collect

The VNAV app does not collect, store on our servers, sell or share any personal information. There are no accounts, no advertising, and no analytics or tracking tools in the app.

Location

VNAV uses your device’s location (GPS) while you use the app, to calculate distance to a fix and descent guidance. If you arm a top of descent alert, VNAV keeps using your location in the background until the alert goes off or you clear the plan, so it can alert you even when your device is locked or another app is open. Background location then stops. Your location is processed on your device and is not sent to us or to anyone else.

Data stored on your device

Your saved aircraft, descent profiles, settings and recorded descents are stored only on your device. Deleting the app removes them.

Navigation data

The FAA navigation data is included in the app. VNAV does not download it.

Feedback

If you choose “Send feedback” or “Report a wrong result”, the app prepares an email in your Mail app. It may include your app version and build, device model, iOS or iPadOS version, navigation data cycle and the time, and, for a wrong-result report, the planner values shown on screen (including fix and aircraft names), but not your location. You can read and edit the email before you send it. We use it only to fix problems and to reply to you.

Feedback on this website

If you send feedback through the form on this website, we receive what you enter: your email address, your message, the kind of feedback you chose, and, if you give them, your name, device type (iPhone or iPad model) and the aircraft you fly. We use them only to read your feedback, reply to you and improve the app. We do not sell or share them. They are stored with our website host, Cloudflare, and a copy is sent to our inbox through our email delivery provider. We also send you an automatic thank-you email to the address you gave. We keep feedback for as long as it helps us improve the app, and we delete it when you ask.

If you requested beta access on this website earlier, we kept those details only to run the beta, and we delete them when you ask.

This website does not use cookies, advertising or analytics. Like any website, our host processes basic technical information such as your IP address to deliver and protect the site.

TestFlight

If you took part in the beta, Apple’s TestFlight collected crash reports and tester feedback under Apple’s own privacy policy.

Children

VNAV is not directed to children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above.
