About OFMA charts

The Open Flightmaps (OFMA) mission is to develop and maintain a universal database of aeronautical data, in order to facilitate the rendering of high-quality VFR maps to assist the general aviation community.

The database is administered by OFMA, a non-profit organisation, which has the support of two universities and several associations of pilots and other organisations within the General Aviation community. The structure of the OFMA database closely follows the AIXM Model recommended by Eurocontrol.

OFMA Charts contain all relevant aeronautical information necessary for Flights under VFR as well as a topographic basemap displaying streets, railways, rivers, woods, and urbanisation.
