I've been using PilotWizz Pro for the past month and love it, the best feature is the weight and balance section which when set up for your aircraft is really quick and easy to use. Well worth the money.
I also use LogTen as a backup for my logbook.
Hope this helps,
Jools

Good Reader
Its a great app for loading large PDF files like company manuals, AOM or AFM etc.The best bit is you can search text. You will also have to load on to your computer Iphone Explorer to be able to drag files and drop on to Iphone

i Phone 'Aviation Apps'
Thought I would start a thread on apps for the i phone that come in useful for flying.
So far I use:
Pilot Wizz - Does loads but weight and balance & weather particularly well
Weatheronline.co.uk - Gives you a weather radar with 2 min delay
Flight com uk - A simple list of uk airfields and frequencies
Sunrise Free - A simple sunrise/ sunset time app
Thats all from me......

iphone flight status app
I have seen an app on iphones which lets you search for, then show on a map, the whereabouts of individual aircraft in real time.
Any suggestions for the app? The reviews on the appstore are uniformly bad, yet I have seen a very good app and don't want to end up with a turkey.
Thanks

Sounds a bit like planefinder. Not bad, although you can only see what its basestations are sending at any moment in time. Handy if you know what you are looking for, and want to check its rough whereabouts.

I mostly use AeroWeather for checking TAFs and METARs, doesn't need much introduction as I think it's the most common app amongst pilots.
Haven't seen many people using fuel calculators yet. I've tried a couple and now use Fuel Uplift Calculator since I find it has the easiest interface. If you fill out the tech log (for myself on a 320), just read all results of the screen. This app checks if the uplift is within limits as well (you can set the limit yourself).
For the longer night flights I sometimes use Distant Suns to figure out which planet/constellation I'm looking at.
