Access inflight support in a distraction-free view that highlights available airports and potential off-airport landing areas. To access Emergency Glide Mode during a flight, enable Glide Advisor in Map Settings > Glide Advisor, and enter your aircraft’s best glide speed and ratio. Then tap the green Airports button in the bottom-right corner to enter Emergency Glide Mode.
Reachable airports appear in the sidebar and on the Maps view, ranked by distance, runway length, altitude, heading, and winds aloft. Select an airport and tap Activate Glide to create a direct route, along with a display of your ETE, suggested runway, relevant frequencies, winds, and projected AGL on arrival.
If no airports are within glide range, Emergency Glide Mode identifies Possible Landing Areas, or “best bet” landing sites, in shades of green. Obstacles like power lines and roads are highlighted to help direct your scan for a suitable place to land. Possible Landing Areas are built from U.S. Geological Survey data and are available in the contiguous U.S.
At any point, tap the red Exit button in the bottom left corner to return to the standard Maps view.
