IFD Trainer

Crashed my iPad with memory issues on first run.

Stupid update How come it does not match with the 10.2 version when there is no 10.3 for the IFD100? How can we trust in Avidyne.

The app frequently freezes my iPad (mini, 5th). But it was free! And you need something to explore what all these automatisms will do. Don't take anything for granted with the IFD.

Very useful to evaluate the functionality of the IFD Series FMS (I used it before I bought an IFD440). And today I am using it to explore functionality of my unit, but at home on the couch. You can simulate approaches and other stuff and you know how the device is behaving before you get into the aircraft. Thanks for this opportunity.

This is an awesome app…superb functionality that makes learning the app a pleasant experience as it truly emulates the real deal. The IFD100 Companion app extends usability and functionality in the flight deck…preparing flight plans ahead of time, making edits to ongoing flight parameters, frequency updates and all of the cool things that are natively available in the IFD. Since ditching my GNS430W for the plug-in replacement IFD440, I have not regretted my decision. It would be nice if the IFD Trainer and the IFD100 were available for Android! Skip the tired excuse of too many flavors of Android. Develop for the Samsung platform and you stand to gain a whole ‘nother market share!!

Crashes all the time and is difficult to use.

If that’s you, you simply MUST work with this app and your CFII before trying anything in the airplane. You’ll save so much time.

I can’t get it to start. It says “no database”. I down load databases and try again, it still says “no databases”

There is no altitude control when running app on a Mac which renders the simulator useless.

I have tried to get this trainer to track the autopilot and fly an altitude. You can have it fly a heading and altitude but you can’t have it track the flight plan and set an altitude. Instructions says to set altitude to cross a waypoint, tried it.. just flys at 20 feet and tells you to pull up and it still won’t track the FMS. Good for practicing frequency changes.
