8Flight began as a tool for planning cross country flights more easily by being able to better rely on fuel prices, see FBO fee information, and find destinations open at the time you're flying, all while combining detailed weather forecasts on the map to determine where and when to go.
Other apps crowdsource fuel pricing, resulting in incorrect prices around 70-75% of the time because someone hasn't yet updated the price, and don't have any information about fees nor any ability to see what FBOs are open at a given time.
Instead, 8Flight continually asks FBOs for their prices. We call them, email them, go to their website if they update it regularly, and feed all of that information into a state of the art data engine that cross checks everything for accuracy and maintains the world's most accurate and comprehensive database of FBO information.
We also support contract jet fuel pricing, so you can find your best prices all in one spot.
And with our 7-day hourly timeline, you can view only FBOs (or restaurants, museums, FBOs with free ice cream, etc) that are open at the time you care about. So you can find the best stop for you in seconds, without making a dozen phone calls.
The FBOs button on the left side of the map lets you display FBO fees for the currently selected aircraft category right on the map so you know what it will cost to stop somewhere (including somewhere open right now).
The fuel button on the left side of the map lets you do the same for fuel prices and select between Avgas and Jet-A and the cheapest price or full-serve only if you want someone to do it for you while you run inside or to lunch.
