About Us
We are a young and dynamic team with a passion for flying which constantly pursues the dream of easing the world of avionics. Since we are proud owners of the FAA private pilot license with instrument and glider rating, we have a good feeling for what a pilot really needs. Therefore Helios Avionics can offer you high quality products made by pilots and created for pilots.

The data is freely available under the Open Database License: https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright .
Aviation chart data is originated in proprietary sources for Europe and most of the world (except NFDC for USA).
In locations where the proprietary sources are not sufficient the data has been enhanced with data from openflightmaps and via manual editing.
It therefore contains information from the open flightmaps database, see www.openflightmaps.org .
