About VELA Charts
VELA Charts is a chart viewer built for the way crews work through a flight: departure, destination and alternate are set from your flight, and each airport opens on the sections that matter: ground, SID, STAR and approach, filtered by runway.
On the ground an airport moving map shows taxiways, stands and runways with your own aircraft positioned from the ACARS tracker. The charts are stored encrypted on the iPad and stay available offline, bound to your VELA account and one device.
What it does
What VELA Charts does for you
- 01
Departure, destination, alternate
Three airport slots for the flight, so the next chart is always one tap away.
- 02
Sections and runway filter
Charts grouped into general, ground, SID, STAR and approach, colour-coded and filtered by the runway in use.
- 03
Bookmarks and split view
Bookmark the charts of the day and open two side by side: taxi chart next to the departure, approach next to the airport diagram.
- 04
Airport moving map
Taxiways, stands, runways and de-icing pads for the airports of the network, with your aircraft shown live.
- 05
Day and night
A dark mode for the flight deck at night that keeps the charts readable without lighting up the cockpit.
- 06
Offline and protected
Charts are stored encrypted for offline use and tied to your crew account and your iPad.
