I thought that all taxi drivers did games.

Phwoar. Cutting.

I am a chauffeur.

I am looking for a weight and balance program for the AS332-L1 in any format, iPhone, PDA or Excel. Anyone able to help? Thanks

For those that have friends on iphones as well as Blackberry here is a great new instant messaging program which works cross platform.

WhatsApp is a program that gives you instant msg chat identical to Blackberry Messenger but on iphone. I have it on my iphone and as long as the other person has it on their phone you are good to go.

IM Apps
 

Could never quite see the point of WhatsApp (maybe i am missing something) because it uses a proprietary protocol and only works between two specific mobiles (Symbian and Android coming soon).

I used to use fring for mobile IM because it supported skype, AOL, MSN and a bunch of other IM protocols to mobiles and desk/laptops. fring dropped skype but Nimbuzz seems nearly as good, supports all the standard IM protocols, voice, facebook and myspace as well.

J.

Thats fine, didnt say it worked between all phones, just said it was a great app for people on iphones who wanted to chat with people on Blackberries and vice versa.

People can choose to use it, or not. I did and liked it so posted info here.

ESI Caution Panel App
 

The app has now been updated with the EC120 procedures and will now work on OS3.

Logbook
 

I´m looking for a good online logbook for my mobile phone.

- There is one available for Iphone, called Logten, very very nice software, but I´m looking for software for my Nokia N8 mobile phone ?

Thanks a lot and regards. http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...lies/smile.gif

W & B by Pilot Wizz
 

I would like to program my Iphone that i can calculate weight an balance for the Robinson R44 by Pilot Wizz app. Does anybody has a guidance?

Thanks in advance.

See link for info re iBal, a serious helicopter W&B program for iPhone/iPod. Works very well. About $10 U.S. at the iTunes store. :ok:

iBal

Freebie tool for Eurocopter types.
 

Handy little tool if your flying Eurocopter things and have a smart phone. Its a free App with EPs. I found it at www.eurosafety.us Its under ground on the home page.
Fly Safe.

Don't bother unless you have an iPhone.

Good App
 

Devil 49 - You are kidding me aren't you, everyone has an iPhone ;)

Iphone or Ipad. Works good. I resisted an Iphone till they got cheaper and now that "B" model Ipad is coming out so may get one of those also.
Eurosafety is going to do more as time avails.
BUT Apple stuff is not cheap and so I got suckered into the Maintenance contract, just because ATT will sell it but wont fix it.

AT&T won't, but you can take it to ANY Apple store for satisfaction. I have had very good luck with them for a cracked screen (in warranty) and my daughter dropped her's and shattered the screen- they GAVE her a new one.
AT&T told me I would have to buy a new phone for my cracked screen.

Best aviation apps?

ANDROID Apps
 

TAFsMETARs21
Very simple & quick weather app - excellent

iPhone apps
 

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

:ok:

Airspace Avoid for iPhone and Android. It's a simple Moving Map system from the PocketFMS team.

AirspaceAVOID - Can you afford to fly without?

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
:ok:

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

Thanks for the info BigglesButler - this App looks interestin' (I don't need it at present) will look into it anyhoo - may be of use in future:)

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.

Try ibal, it is a helicopter app and works quite weel.

Does anybody know of apps for the Enstrom 280FX?

I found a good one... it's called ICAO CODES... https://market.android.com/details?id=air.icaoabbrev

useful for decoding messages..

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 :ok:. To be honest I have yet to see a competitive app.

Cheers,
Jure

Agree strongly! :ok: 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.

Thanks for the info on IBal. It's a great App.

AS350 W&B Spread Sheet
 

Hey everyone.

Just finished a new W & B. For the AS350 models.

English units, Gallons, lbs ect...

Used OpenOffice.org free spread sheet download.

PM me with your email, if u have any interest in a copy:ok:

UPDATE: New one with converted for Liters, Kg.

Anyone know of any apps which you could use as flight following or so base can track you?

Or is find my iPhone the only solution?

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? :E

Android Apps
 

Hi,
Just wondering if there were any updates on this subject.
