Everything else in aviation has advanced, but NOT landing training. Historically, the manual landing manoeuvre has remained indeterminate. Conventional flare techniques have involved an inconsistent, critical estimation of height above the landing surface and are subject to a number of variable factors, summarised as aircraft, pilot and environmental. The Jacobson Flare is the first and only quantifiable, universal and consistent landing technique in the history of aviation. To land an airplane consistently well, a pilot should be able to explain the following five questions: 1. Where to aim? 2. How to aim? 3. When to flare? 4. How much to flare? 5. How fast to flare (flare rate)? The Jacobson Flare App for the iPad, originally featured in June 2014 on the Australian App Store in ‘Best New Apps’, answers all five applying, clearly and simply, known principles and facts that enable a pilot at any level of competence and experience to finally and fully understand HOW to make safer and more consistent landings, in any airplane type. The noted increase in pilot competence and confidence is breathtaking. The Jacobson Flare App for iPad V2.0 Professionally designed, the Jacobson Flare app for iPad is so much more than the simple equivalent of a 330-page book; interactive and inclusive, it totally replaces and greatly enhances successive and widely acclaimed presentations of the original 1987 Jacobson Flare paper, “Where to Flare” and other associated files. This updated Version 2.0 of the Jacobson Flare app explores the where, when & how involved in landing an airplane in TWO DISTINCT PRESENTATIONS: •Designed in LANDSCAPE as an extensively illustrated comprehensive presentation, with accompanying text; and •The Jacobson Flare TREATISE, now re-worked in Landscape and partly illustrated, designed as an e-book, for uninterrupted reading and comprehension of the complete text. These are best viewed in landscape on at least the screen size of an iPad Mini OR larger iPhone. Graphically enhanced HD videos of various airplane types using the same consistent and quantified technique, at a diverse range of locations, highlight the Jacobson Flare app for iPad as a perfect solution to a serious long-term problem for world aviation. Thirty-five years of research and development are reflected in the intuitive design, fine production and attention to detail - just some of the hallmarks of this stylish presentation.   Summary The Jacobson Flare has been adopted enthusiastically by thousands of pilots in 65 countries. The convenient digital format on iPad has accelerated industry awareness and acceptance and offers predictable and consistently better landings for those individual pilots, at ANY level of experience, who are always seeking to improve their skill set. Perhaps the three best descriptions come from highly experienced professional pilots: “the greatest single advance in flying training in many, many years and represents simple unassailable aerodynamic logic”; “this is probably what we have all been trying to do all these years”; and “this has the elegant simplicity of the safety pin”.

There is no calculator as was indicated in the product description. I’m guessing the calculator just won’t run in the current version of iOS? On App Store there’s a flurry of messages that go by in fractions of a second, which I’m unable to read, which I assume our error messages. I believe Mr. Jacobson‘s concepts are sound, the criticism here is that the app simply does not function as indicated. You’re buying the PDF for $40 and not the calculator which the PDF goes into great detail, describing how to operate. -- NordicDave, 2025-07-18 ### *---- "This isn’t an app, it’s a pdf." All I got was a weird pdf of screen shots. -- Bubba 182, 2022-04-08 ### ***** "Great contribution to aviation" This app is fantastic and very well thought out and presented. I am a regional airline pilot and use this technique all the time. Every level of aviation will benefit from this app. Captain Jacobson has really developed a masterpiece with this app, I have it on my iPad and phone. I find myself regularly re reading and absorbing the wealth of information contained within this app. Great work Sir Take care -- Lwm5, 2021-08-12 ### **--- "Videos don’t work in app" Interesting but how do you get videos to work? Get nothing but black screen - unsat -- rv7bld, 2020-07-20 ### *---- "Not working" I’m using Ipad pro, and purchased this app a couple of months ago. It seemed to be working for the first few days but when I tried to open it few days ago, it didn’t respond. -- sue0211, 2019-12-01 ### *---- "Does not support newest iOS" Purchased today and instantly crashed upon opening, then go to their support and they don’t have a fix at this time. Wish their app said that! -- KP72RN, 2019-10-31 ### ****- "Great technique, confusing explanation" As a student pilot, I’ve spent ~20+ hours learning to land. Before I switched CFIs and my new CFI taught me the Jacobson technique, I was completely perplexed by landings. Mine were inconsistent and sad, despite all the time I sunk into pattern work. Now now! This technique works guys. My only criticism is that the app explains the technique (or at least, my understanding of it) in a confusing way. It really just boils down to picking a point on the runway, starting to flare/stare at the end when you pass that point (with rate of flare depending on plane) and profiting. I feel like the level of detail the app goes into about the math muddles the picture a little and makes it hard to grasp the key concepts. So, four stars. Overall, thanks Mr. Jacobson for putting some science into flying! -- Marpha Z., 2019-06-07 ### ***** "Excellent" Another method to instruct students in the art and science of landing. -- Maria80386, 2018-01-02 ### ***** "Great support" I had a small issue restarting the app and sent a query to support. An excellent answer came back from Jacobson quickly. His approach makes sense and I look forward to practicing it. -- n2vi, 2017-02-26 ### ***** "A better way to land" Ask any student pilot, or experienced pilot what the most difficult phase of their pilot training was, and universally the answer will be "landings." Why is that? As in all things aviation, much of what is taught is based on how your instructor was taught. So much of learning how to land was based on the Goldilocks method of teaching. "You flared too high," "you flared too low", "you flared just right." It was the trial-and-error approach; eventually you "got it!" Could there possibly be a better way? The Jacobson Flare is that "better way." Instead of guessing at altitude, and having to correct that "estimate" for wide, narrow, or sloping runways, wouldn't you rather use a method that results in consistently good landings to any runway or field? The traditional method that uses power to correct for altitude, and pitch for airspeed frequently results in an erratic flight path. Instead, maintaining the correct "sight picture," following the optimum flight path, recognizing the correct "flare point" and properly transitioning from the approach to the landing aim point results in easier to teach, easier to learn, and repeatably good landings. Whether you fly cloth covered, light, or heavy metal airplanes, Capt Jacobson has created a superb App, to help you master landings. With videos from a variety of cockpits, and easy to follow instructions, this App is one of the best tools any pilot could have in their flight bag. I highly recommend it. -- MacFlyer1, 2015-02-05 [View all The Jacobson Flare reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/de/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## The Jacobson Flare Available In -
