Global Navigation Data · RealNav

Fly the Real World.

The navigation backbone of the Blackstar ecosystem. Through our partner RealNav, the Eclipse trains on global, commercially licensed navigation data—the same airports, airways, and procedures the real world flies on.

The Data

Train on What You Actually Fly

A simulator is only as good as the world it models. Approximated or outdated navigation data teaches habits that don't transfer—wrong frequencies, missing procedures, airways that don't exist. RealNav keeps the Eclipse aligned with the real airspace system so every flight plan, approach, and cross-country you practice reflects the charts you'll use in the aircraft.

Always Current

On a Real Update Cycle

4x

Quarterly Cadence

Four data updates a year keep core navigation information fresh for programs that need dependable, cost-effective currency.

13x

AIRAC Cadence

Thirteen cycles a year track the international AIRAC schedule, so the sim moves in lockstep with real-world chart revisions.

1:1

Chart Accurate

What's in the sim matches what's on the plate—procedures, frequencies, and fixes line up with published charts.

What It Provides

The Whole Airspace System

Global Coverage

Worldwide navigation data spanning airports, runways, navaids, airways, and terminal procedures—so students can train anywhere on the planet, not just a handful of demo airfields.

4x & 13x Cycles

Data delivered on regular AIRAC-aligned update cycles. Whether on a 4x or 13x cadence, the airspace in the sim stays current with the real world.

Commercially Licensed

Fully licensed, authoritative source data—the same class of navigation information trusted across commercial aviation, not scraped or approximated.

Airways & Procedures

Complete airways, SIDs, STARs, and instrument approach procedures so flight planning, IFR work, and cross-country training reflect published charts.

Navaids & Fixes

VORs, NDBs, DMEs, and RNAV fixes positioned to real-world coordinates, giving instrument students accurate raw-data and RNAV navigation practice.

Chart-Accurate Airspace

The airspace you train in matches the charts you fly, so instrument approaches and procedures transfer directly from the simulator to the aircraft.
