From flight simulation tools to real-world approach charts, there are tons of useful sources on the web for Infinite Flight pilots and controllers. Unfortunately, it’s hard to keep track of these and many people are unaware of them. This is a community built list of free and reliable resources for the sim, including flight plan creators, route finders, airport information databases, and much more! Each source is categorized first by primary use (for IF) and then by alphabetical order with a short description, other uses, and additional links listed for each. To use, simply click on a category below, find the source, and click on the link embedded in its header. If you would like to add something, be sure to post below so that a regular can add it. Enjoy!
