Search 35,000+ airports by location, amenities, and type (large/medium/small airports, seaplane bases, heliports) or lookup by FAA/ICAO code. Get detailed information including precise coordinates, elevations, runway details (length, width, surface, lighting, displaced thresholds), and scheduled service status.

"What's the heading to JFK?"

"Let's fly by the Hollywood sign!"

"Direct to the SHRLY intersection."

Navigate to places, airports, VOR navaids, and GPS fixes worldwide with enhanced navigational awareness throughout your flight. US navigation data powered by official FAA database.

"How close am I to red line on turbine temperature?"

"How's this approach looking?"

"Tune 121.5 active in the number two radio."

"Shirley, standby 110.9 for the JFK 22L ILS."

"Squawk 7600 until we regain contact."

"What's the tower frequency at KBTV?"

"Give me the ATIS for JFK."

Shirley knows tower, ground, ATIS, CTAF, and other airport frequencies across the United States via the FAA navigation database.

"Have my left engine fail at 1500 feet AGL."

"At 100 knots or 2000, fail number two."

"Shirley fix my propeller."

Supports: Engine failures, pitot/static blockages, GPS failures, electrical bus, battery, generator, navigation system blackouts.

"Set up some cumulonimbus clouds and make that runway puddly!"

Configure runway condition, precipitation, sea level temperature and pressure, visibility, thermals, bases and tops, cloud types or coverage percentage. Set real world, static, improving or deteriorating weather, regenerate weather, and configure wind layer speed, gusts, turbulence or direction at particular heights.

"Shirley configure the bugs for our climb - heading 270 to 6000 feet, altimeter 29.93."

"Get us descending at 500 feet per minute."

"Level the wings on heading 270!"

Toggle the autopilot, activate the wings leveler, set heading mode (using heading bug), vertical speed mode (using altitude bug & selected vertical speed) or altitude hold mode.

"Freeze our position Shirley!"

Activate position freeze, pause the sim, repair aircraft systems, or toggle through sim speed ratios.

"What's the latest TFR information for the DC area?"

Shirley can research questions in real-time using web search, providing up-to-date information during your flights.

"Let's enter downwind for runway 33 at Burlington!"

Superior guidance through entries and traffic pattern operations. Tracks vertical and horizontal deviations from extended runway centerlines, identifies runways and taxiways, and monitors runway distance remaining. Available at 10,000+ training-ready airports worldwide.

"Plot a course to Albany airport."

"Set our starting point so we can measure landing distance?"

"Give me pattern headings for runway 33 at KBTV!"

"How did my last landing compare to this one?"

"What have my steep turn scores looked like recently?"

Shirley remembers your past flights — including transcripts, summaries, and maneuver scores. Ask about previous sessions or track your improvement over time. Enabled by default outside of Challenges.

You can now type messages to Shirley in addition to speaking — great for sharing flight plans or when you need to be precise. Available under ▼ Advanced.

"Alert me when we cross 3000 feet."

"Let me know when airspeed drops below 70 knots."

Set a target altitude, airspeed, or other parameter, and Shirley will speak up the moment you cross it — perfect for training callouts and approach monitoring.
