iPhone apps

Pilot Toolbox - for holdover times,
PilotLog - online logbook,
Snowtam,
AeroWeatherPro - worth the money over AeroWeather,
iPorts - good presentation,
FlighttrackPro.

I only use three flight related applications:
AeroWeather - known for up-to-date metar and taf information
iBal - mass and balance tool for almost every helicopter (if it's not on the list, they will put it there - outstanding support)
IWizWheel - the only aviation calculator i need

Android logbook

I hope this doesn't constitute advertising as no money changes hands, but I have found an awesome logbook for NON apple users.

It has both an Android and PC version that will synchronise between the two and now has more helic specific options including logging of P1u/s.

Link for PC version is:

Logbook Installation

Android either via the market or:

https://market.android.com/details?i...=search_result

As I say this is a free app, and I have had no renumeration from it other than getting the use of the app.

Enjoy

Si

Not a dedicated iPad app but worth having on your iPad or iPhone, MyDutyDay(A)... checks your current and next Flying Duty Period according to CAP371/EU-OPS.

There's a MyDutyDay for Cabin Crew too!

Does anyone know of a helicopter weight and balance app? I need it for Android and the EC225, the problem is the spreadsheet we use is too intensive for my tablet to run. All the apps I have seen use fixed wing or small aircraft details, for twin heavies the envelope isn't as simple as those.

EC225 W&B

Sorry bigglebutler - can't help. Beyond Ibal for the iPhone I'm not aware of anything android based.

Maybe a bit cheeky but I am working on a related project involving W&B for aircraft and I am interested at looking at any excel spreadsheet implementations, particularly those with functions and VBA/macros behind them. If yours can't function reasonably on your tablet, it must be quite interesting - would there be any chance of getting a copy which can be treated as confidential, not for commercial use. If so, please pm. If not, I completely understand.

Thanks in advance.

I want to put a good word for iBal. I've been using it for about a year now and its the most useful app on my phone. I use it for every flight I make private and business and the time it takes to get results emailed for logging flight data is less than 20" which makes it very flight and user user friendly, especially when there's not much time before the flight (HEMS).

Also a good word on the developer Mike McCauley. I never met the guy but he is great. Every need I get about helicopter types makes its way into the app without hesitation. Excellent customer support, no doubt.

Bottom line, iBal to me is well worth the money . To be honest I have yet to see a competitive app.

Cheers,
Jure

Agree strongly! Mike has been very cooperative in adding new makes/models. Not sure, but I think this supports the Enstrom 280FX that was inquired about a few posts earlier. Mike cant be getting rich at $10 a pop.

BS,

If you want a system that will pass muster with the feds (i.e. be officially acceptable as permanent aircraft equipment) I don't think that a system that uses a cellular network would be accepted by them.

There are various systems available these days to track your errant pooch! Perhaps you could fit one of those to each pilot?
