Excellent app for Instructors

This app is excellent for Instructors to use when teaching VOR, HSI, RMI and NDBs. It is a visual tool to help students earn the principal methods to do when intercepting Navaids. Highly recommended this app

Pocket procedures trainer

While I don't disagree with those who suggest that this has little use for those who don't know how a VOR or ADF operate, I would suggest that most apps have little value for those who don't know what they are for. For those who DO know how a VOR or ADF works, this is a great practise app. I use it for both practising and helping my students learn things like VOR intercepts, hold entries and getting established on an approach. The ability to turn off and on the plane is VERY helpful because it makes the user actually USE the instruments. Track trails then help to confirm if I got it right. The speed controller allows me to customize the tool for my needs. The time is a very thoughtful touch making it possible to practise Time-Turn-Throttle-Talk although you have to talk to yourself. :-) I would suggest this for all instructors and IFR students.

NO NDB

Where is the NDB? All it has is two VOR

Good practise, bad trainer

This app is great for playing with different scenarios but does not actually explain or show you how to use the navigation geatures. Great if you want more practise in using VOR and other instruments, but not so much if you dont already know how.

Perfect learning aid

I bought this app to help with my commercial flight test prep and it has definitely improved my instrument navigation. It has improved my partial panel timed turns, ADF and VOR intercepts, as well as familiarize myself with instruments that I have not had access to yet, like the RMI. Because of this app, I successfully past my flight test with 100% on the Nav portion. This app is perfect for explaining scenarios and testing myself, to keep my skills sharp.

Great NAVAID trainer

A must have for students and teachers for use of VOR, ADF, RMI, DME

Satisfacted

Very very helpfull if u are a student pilot

Great app

What a time saver when you can visualize your situational awareness without an expensive trainer and aircraft fee attached. It is great that you can try endless scenarios in minutes and learn so quickly. I would recommend this app for anyone who is considering IFR training. Sincerely Mooney Encore pilot

Exceptional teaching aid

I imagine the ILS simulator is better on iPad. Overall an excellent app.

Very easy to use

Very easy to use as long as you know thé theory!
