It works if you cannot afford Foreflight

• The database is ok especially for the money invested. I would like to be able to touch the airport icon and add the airport to my flight plan instead of having to go to any editor.
• Secondly, it would be nice, when you touch and airport icon, it would also tell you how far you were from the airport selected.
• It has no weather information or FBO information, fuel prices etc. With no weather, there is no information on winds.
• I could not find any place to load aircraft or emergency information into. So it cannot guestimate your ETA
• It cannot file flight plans electronically. I could not find this feature if it does. Also during sectional zoom, it just magnifies the sectional and does not switch to a TAC where available.

• It does have both MH MC indications as well as ETE and ETA which Foreflight does not.
• Screen is easy to read gives a lot of useful information during the flight.
• Shows bearing and track
• A free elevation map is available and you can switch between maps from a menu.
• The simulated instruments do really work, although not always very quickly. This is an iPad issue I believe.
• It has both north up and track up.
• For people without the 3G/GPS version of the iPad, it works with a selected external Bluetooth GPS receiver. I have not seen it work, but the option is there in the settings menu. Probably more accurate than the iPads internal one.
• With this app and a few others added to your iPad, you really wont need anything else. There are plenty of aviation weather, FBO, airport apps that along with this app would work just fine and not have to spend $70 to $100 a year on charts.
• Once Apple releases iOS 4.x for the iPad and multi-tasking, youd be able to switch between apps at the touch of the button and continue where the last app left off.
