Whiteshadow Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 What are some apps that are used for flying? Also, keep in mind that I'm in training right now, so test prep type stuff will help too! I look forward to hearing about some of the cool stuff out there! whiteshadow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apiaguy Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 foreflight is pretty awesomexwing is the other one gaining groundlots of other smaller apps... I'd say those two are the main ones people are using.. I think there is a recent thread about this... alas, I never search those things.I love foreflight.. but mostly use it in the airplane.

deerock Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 all I use is Foreflight and the FAR/AIM apps too. It's all u need really. Oh, and iBal for the weight and balance is pretty cool too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo2181 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 http://www.aviation.levil.com/AHRS_mini.htm Not very useful in your situation still the coolest "app" I've seen for Ipad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodrop Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Dauntless has a good app for preparing for tests. Be care of the Far/Aim apps...read carefully cause there is on app that is FAR but not AIM etc etc. Read the details before downloading and paying.

Cannon ball Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 I actually bought my I pad just for studying because books are super cheap and I love the portability. The far aim app is a great one as mentioned, also the aero dictionary. I have all my test preps on there along with my instrument handbook. Plus a lot of weather apps that tap into TAFS and metars. Oh and also sportys has some apps like the "plates" If you need any info let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retreating Brain Stall Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I use the following on the iPhone/iPad Aeroweather is my daily user.iBal is really good- excellent customer service and will work with you on getting your aircraft numbers and updates and configurations (well worth every dime).Logten Pro (works great with the Mac software) Write my logbook entries in the A/C on shutdown and sync at home with the macbook pro via wifi every week.Vela Clock for daylight/dark times civil twilight, moon info for flying NVGs & looking at future moon lighting & hours for mission planning.FAA mobile website you can make a link to the iPhone/iPad & it makes a nice icon.Flight Tracker Pro & Flight Board I use flight board to check the commercial arrival/departures at small airports that I operate that have commercial flights & flight tracker to track my commercial flights or family as they travel commercially.iBOOKS- Get PDF copies of every manual! I have a section in iBooks of my Aircraft Operator's Manual, company documents such as preflight/flight checklists, SOPs, LOPs, ATMs, FTGs, Military Manuals, & FAA Manuals (for referencing when on the iPhone with the nice little search feature & studying when on the iPad).
