I use the freeware Pilot Wizz and also aeroweather. I have no complaints with the free PW though my usage is largely limited at present anyway (student PPL) but so far so good! :ok:

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

Anyone got any tips for downloading from the US Itunes site - It seems as usual UK runs a "lite" vesion of what's available?

Essential Pilot iPhone App
 

Thought this might help pass the time for those stuck with delays. Just imagining a room full of pilots all with this App..:}:)
YouTube - Pilot for the iphone.

Link to iTunes on the right of the page.......Tally Ho!!

Was a confirmed Nokia user until I was unable to resist the temptation to buy an officially unlocked 32GB 3GS in Abu Dhabi at Christmas, wow! everyday this amazing piece of kit amazes me :ok:

How much? Guess you wern't governed by the static UK prices

Mmm, you don't want to know! it was in the Hundreds of Euros and like BIG hundreds! :eek: but if ya can't take the dosh with you then spend spend spend!

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......:ok:

Aeroweather

Weather Pro

LogTen Pro

Memory Map!

Memory-Map : iPhone App

Well, soon...;)

Flightnav now on IPhone

As always the best part is it's free!!!!

Cheers
Alasdair

Anyone know of a Fight Time Limitations app at all?
Searched to no avail but I would'nt have thought it too difficult.:8

EU OPS by Alexander Flohr is pretty decent

Try LogTen.

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.

Pilots Pal is available on the iPhone, it syncs with both Macs and Windows, also includes weather and runway decodes.

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.

If you are interested in the stars then 'Star Walk' is absolutely amazing....Not free but worth the money. (Even better on a 3Gs apparently)....

www.gpslogbooks.com. Good for tracking your own flights

ragbak and call100,

thanks a lot, I downloaded both apps and must say both are phantastic in their on right. Distant Suns is free and very well done, Star Walk makes use of all the iPhone's locating and motion capabilities (3GS) and, for currently €2.39, is a real gem. :ok:

FLT Calculator CAA CAP 371 UK: just out and quite good

Time Calculator : For adding up those logbook hours
AeroWeather : Excellent
Airports


WeatherPro : absolutely brilliant (non aviation) wx app.

Plane Finder: thought it would be rubbish, but it's actually quite good.

iPhone / iPad
 

What are your favorite aviation apps on these devices?

I really like ForeFlight and use it often.

Neil

I think they are all listed in this thread in one way or another.
Just do a slow read through and you will get them all....:ok:

Top iPhone 4 FREE apps
 

What, in your opinion, make for some of the best FREE apps for the new 4?

Are there any FREE apps out there, that us pilots would find useful?

Here's a good one: Notified

Nothing aeronautical about it, though.

HAve a look in the computer part of PPRUNE, there's various threads about the iPhone and apps and maybe you'll get a better answer there than in JB (where you're leaving yourself open to things, believe me!!)

Here's what the mighty forum search threw up at me, enjoy

iPhone apps
 

A cold grey Sunday afternoon so time to play with my Xmas pressy.

The little Flashes have bought their dinosaur an iPhone. What is the best/worst/whatever iPhone app of an aviation nature???

Games wise, Skies of Glory is cracking.. As for Apps, my E6B is quite good!

aeroweather

Maybe the iPhone will have a working Alarm Clock, but only from 3 January.

Not aviation, but I'd recommend the following.

Appbox
BatteryDoctor
Camscanner+
Dragon Dictation
Dropbox
Kindle for iPhone
Flight Status
Informant
Shazam
Skype (for calls when abroad)
Sky+ (if you have Sky it lets you set up recordings at home on the fly)
Spotify
Stanza
TrainTimes
Weatherpro (in addition to Aeroweather)
WunderRadio

Depending on how much travel and who you fly with then, KLM; BA and the OneWorld alliance all have useful apps for airline travel.
WorldMate is good if you do travel lots and need hotels etc as well a flights.
AeroWeather is a great app. Hurricane, PilotWiz and Measures are all pretty useful, as is the Met Office App. Snowtam is also pretty useful.
World Time is a handy app if you have to call/travel round the world lots.
iHud and Flight Control are good for a bit of fun.:cool:

FlightcomUK and aeroweather are both good.

Angry birds and Cut The Rope for games.

Ach. Come on! The best, by far......Cows in Space!!!

X-Plane-4G
Shazam is ok, was better before it became a pay app
Viber - free Voip calls, free app
Kayak, free and for finding plane tickets and hotels
Google app is cool for the photo search function

LogTen Pro
Aeroweather
Weather Pro
Copilot
Foreflight (only if you fly in USA)
Doodle Jump

Maybe the iPhone will have a working Alarm Clock, but only from 3 January.

Now what does THAT mean? I have been using my iPhone as my only alarm since I got it 17 months ago.....you mean it wasn´t real all this time.....geez......:rolleyes:
