Hey all,
Just got myself a new toy ..
It would be much appreciated if anyone could advise what apps are worth buying and what features I can use to my benefit when flying.

NAIPS
OZWeather
JetFueling
Dial-A-Wis
Skype (make calls over 3G once you've hacked it)
If you are hacking it, use Blackra1n.
Then install -
- AppSync 3.1
- Backgrounder
- Terminal (to change the password)
- Add in Welcome to Cydia.hackulo.us! to Cydia sources once Blackra1n installs Cydia
PM me if you need more info, I have detailed instructions on this.

Iphone Apps for pilots
Hey,
I use Naips, BomRadar, Flightplan (for every conversion under the sun you can think of), and Co-Pilot.
I think CoPilot is a fantastic app, great for weight and balance, great for flight planning and simple to use. I met a pilot on the weekend who said that his previous company used it instead of Champagne Flight Planning.
Highly recommended.

IPod aviation apps
Hey guys, I finalyyy decided to go the dark side and purhase an iPhone I've noticed there are heaps of aviation applications ie: gps, flightplanning, met, checklists etc and I am wondering if any of you have downloaded apps that you found useful in the industry as they are not that cheap either.

Gaia GPS seems to be the best GPS app I have seen in terms of a good GUI.
Time Calculators are useful when adding up sectors and cross checking entries into various documents.
NAIPS if you need works well.
Aeroweather and iports do similar things (current weather/notams/metars), but Aeroweather has first/last light and iports has some basic runway info which can be useful for prepreplanning.
Worldview app keeps you up to date on webcams if you fly to ports with webcams.
Conversions
World map. Useful for discussions about longhaul flight routes.
Declination - magnetic variation world map.
Save a wunderground safari page as an app icon to go straight to the location group you want
Good Reader - USB upload all your aircraft manuals and Maintenace manuals in PDF to your iphone. Very useful to have to hand.
Notecards - make flashcard question and answers on your aircraft technical specs/limitations or IFR questions etc.
Real Racing full - for overnights.

I've got 1 gig to play with and never seem to come anywhere near it - but when I am at home or work I am on wifi. If I am on an overnight, and I have my computer with me, I set it up as a wifi network and my phone uses the room's data connexion.

Naips is fantastic.
I've also got Live ATC (a bit geeky, I know)
And a few freebies:
Pilotwiz - for calcs and conversions
Dial a Wis - all the AWIS numbers
Oz Radar - Bom's radar maps

Have seen a few getting around with the full ERSA on the iPhone but you can only do it when it's jailbroken as you can't browse the file system otherwise.
Seems that the ERSA people don't want the app developed for iPhone unless they get the $CASH$. NAIPS was a bit different as it's free. I can't see why they are worried, as it's available online anyway.

XXX, you can just pick up Goodreader and it will handle, sort and display any PDFs (and other file types). 99cents. No jbreak req'd.
ERSA on iPhone reports that (as mentioned) Airservices approval still hasn't been given yet.
