STOLWRX is Purpose-built for short-field and backcountry flying—not a generic map/aviation app.
Capabilities
Built for backcountry decision‑making
Seven core features that help you plan, review, and share flights with the context that matters.
Measuring tool
Verify your exact location relative to terrain and obstacles. Pick a waypoint, then hover your track to instantly read direct (blue), horizontal (green), and vertical (red) separation—using your preferred units. It’s designed for quick situational checks and post‑flight debriefs, without exporting files to other apps. Use it to compare two approaches to the same strip, validate clearance over a ridge or trees, and understand how your altitude changed along a specific segment. The workflow stays lightweight so you can answer “where am I relative to that?” in seconds and keep flying the map.
Photo management
Bring your story along for the ride. StolWRX can attach photos to specific moments in a flight so you can review them in context—on the map and along the timeline. That means you can revisit a landing, a campsite, a ridge crossing, or a river bar and see the exact track position, altitude, and surrounding terrain at the time you took the shot. Organize and clean up descriptions, keep only the best frames, and share flights with friends so they can replay the route and browse the photos in the same view. It turns a log into a memory.
Waypoint & landing spot details
Waypoints in StolWRX are more than pins. Store and share landing spot details such as runway length, orientation, surface notes, and any local “gotchas” you want to remember (slope, obstacles, preferred approach, or seasonal considerations). Build a personal backcountry database that grows with every trip, then export GPX when you want compatibility with other tools. Because the waypoint record is structured, you can keep consistent info across strips and quickly compare options. The goal is simple: make the data you rely on easy to capture, easy to find, and easy to share.
Thousands of public landing locations
Start with a big map, not a blank page. StolWRX includes a large catalog of public landing locations so you can explore areas and discover options quickly—then layer your own waypoints on top. Use it as a planning foundation: scan a valley, identify candidate strips, and keep notes as you learn more. Because the catalog is just another layer, you can toggle visibility, combine it with satellite or sectional textures, and focus only on the data you need for the current mission. It’s built to help you move from curiosity to a concrete plan faster.
Route analysis with climb gradient
Evaluate departures and routes with performance in mind. StolWRX can help analyze terrain along a path using your aircraft climb gradient assumptions, highlighting whether a chosen line stays safely above rising ground. This is especially useful in backcountry environments where “straight line” isn’t the same as “safe line.” Use it to compare multiple outs, see where the terrain steepens, and understand how much margin you really have as the ground rises. The goal isn’t to replace training or judgment—it’s to give you a clear, visual way to reason about the route you’re planning.
Engine data analysis
Turn engine logs into insight. If you fly with engine monitoring, StolWRX helps you review key trends alongside your track so you can correlate what the engine was doing with where you were and what you were asking of the airplane. It’s a practical way to sanity‑check temps, identify sustained high‑power segments, and spot patterns that might prompt a closer look (or simply confirm that everything is running happy). Keeping the analysis connected to the flight path makes it easier to remember the context and share a meaningful debrief with a mechanic or a friend.
Multiple map textures
Switch map textures to match the task—draped over true 3D terrain for a much better understanding of the environment. Use satellite imagery for visual identification, streets for navigation context, and FAA VFR textures for chart awareness and airspace context, then layer your flight tracks on top. You can also enable the land ownership layer (BLM/agency surface management) to quickly reason about where you can and cannot land. Different textures answer different questions: “What does it look like?”, “How do I get there?”, “What’s the chart view?”, “Where does the ground rise?”, and “Who manages this land?” With fast switching, you stay in one workspace instead of bouncing between apps.
