Description

Maximise the value of In-Cockpit Flight Training using your iPad or iPhone, to learn and practice Instrument Navigation, Anytime or Anywhere, using Radio Navigation Simulator IFR PRO, (RNS-IFR PRO).

RNS-IFR PRO is a precision 2D Flight Simulator and Training Aid - Learn to manage, interpret, and become familiar with the VOR, ADF (RMI or RBI ) and Dual Needle RMI, DGYRO, HSI and DME instruments.

Students can start by simply finger moving the aircraft on the chart, observing the instrument response - progressing to full flight exercises, while tuning and managing the NAV radios, just as in real flight.

Fly pre-planned routes, or create your own from simple to complex, while navigating in a latitude and longitude area. Repeat as often as needed, always improving your instrument skills, anytime in a place of your choice.

Instructors can demonstrate to Students, basic VOR, ADF (RBI-RMI) with DME radio navigation, and advanced aspects using the HSI and Dual Needle RMI.

Experienced pilots will find RNS-IFR PRO valuable to prepare for an instrument rating or proficiency test.

Some Customer Reviews:
• RNS apps have been an excellent means of visually depicting cause and effects of instrument inputs as it relates to VFR and IFR navigation. In my opinion, a must for students, pilots and instructors. CFI
• I wish I'd had this tool when I first took my IMC rating - it would have saved me a lot of in flight training hours. This is a superb, intuitive, easy to use app. It will train your interpretation of the VOR and NDB so all you have to worry about in the air is flying the aeroplane
• RNS - Very nice and easy to use simulator. Strongly recommend that few bucks to test yourself in various places in USA
• A must have for all pilots - This is an amazing app. Busy with my night rating and then IFR and this helps you understand radio navigation in minutes. If you are a flight instructor get it
• A great app to practice radio navigation using VOR, ADF, DME
• This is a serious, professional, training aid. It covers real-time navigation with all the basic nav instruments

Criminally underrated

Mattp1540 on

This app, in all the ways that matter, accurately simulates ground-based navaid navigation. It’s an excellent tool for practice and teaching, or just geeking out on your non-flying days if you’re a dork like me. It pairs best with ForeFlight to make a brilliant sandbox for the bored pilot. Fly DME arcs, practice intersection holds, manage heading, altitude and airspeed -these are my ideas of a good time!!!

Great Flt. App.

Great app. to facilitate good navigation standards.

The USA data area is very useful...

JasperCat82 on

I have reviewed this app previously when I first purchased it and it was tremendously helpful for my flight training, in those early days of figuring out what instruments did what and why. I recently updated and discovered to my delight that it now provides data for the whole USA to purchase within the app, which I bought immediately. I am now able fly routes I am actually familiar, with as well as allowing me to practice some that I'm not. I can see this being a huge benefit for anyone training or just wanting to learn in their own backyard. This app just gets better with each version, and I'm looking forward to the next updates. Again, highly recommended. Thanks.

Don't buy this

Horrible waste of 5 dollars. Feed a bum instead of buying this.

Very helpful

Not throne on

I find this program very helpful in understanding the basic instrument fly theory

RNS Pro

Rhmachote on

I am new at air navigation and wanted to learn more because I use Flight Sims on my IPAD. This helped me 100% in learning air nav. Being new, I had to look up other resources to help explain some terms. After better educating myself I found this to be an Excellent sim to learn and practice air navigation using VOR/ADF/DME/HSI. VERY GOOD JOB TO THE DEVELOPERS! Though be ware, you may have to look up other sources depending on your experience level. I highly recommend for those interested in air navigation.

Excellent training aid

Flying4jesus on

I m a instrument training student and using this app has really helped me visualize what is going on with my position in relationship to nav. Aids

Dont bother

Chieffan1971 on

Waste of cash

Please add ILS Approaches

RobOneren on

Really great application to practice the radio navigation instruments, BUT it would be great if you guys add ILS approaches and I would gladly turn my rating to 5 stars!!! Even some other 4$ applications have ILS approaches! It would be great to see the LOC back course concepts and so on.. I hope you guys read the reviews.. Thanks!

Fantastic app

Not greg the pilot on

I am currently a helicopter CFI and CFII, I found this game one evening while waiting for my charter to finish eating dinner. After playing it for the 2 hour wait, I recommended it to all my students. Games are the fastest way to learn
