Duty time apps
Hello,
Is somebody know an iphone app for the duty time for the helicopters pilots? Thanks |
Eurocopter PC2 DLE iPhone App
iPhone & iPad app that cranks out exposure time and resulting probability of (not) crashing in case of an engine failure. Free at the App Store. Has data for the 225, 365N3, 155. L2 at the end of the month. Word is Sikorsky is doing the same thing. Agusta can't be far behind.

My instructor and friend developed a very interesting app for Robinson helicopters. It checks the balance in all the crucial parts of the heli. The idea is that to do the full check at a certified dealer is quite expensive and the app helps you to do the test yourself. Obviusly it does not replace high precision equipment however, works quite accurately as I have seen in the several months of testing.
Here is the official description - sorry for the language - but it is written by a person who is not a native speaker. You disturb vibrations of your helicopter Robinson? Now you can check up the dynamic balancing of units of your helicopter without a difficult and expensive procedure. For this purpose it is enough to touch to the helicopter in a determinate place by your iPhone and in some seconds you will receive the result. This app allows to check up the dynamic balancing of the main rotor, the tail rotor and the cooling fan of helicopters Robinson R22/R44/R66. You receive vibration levels in inch per second (IPS), you can compare them with reference values from Robinson Maintenance Manual (maximum vibration allowance is 0.2 IPS) after that you send them to the service center on email. The testing app passed during an adjustment of balancing in the service center where Chadwick-Helmuth equipment was used. Video instructions of using the application you can find on Aviasoft apps Note: Application is functioning for iPhone 5 only. Please note that it only works on iPhone 5! https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/chec...624527921?mt=8 Comments can be sent directly to the developer. I will sometimes check here for comments as well and pass them on to the developer. Hope you find it useful. |
Heli Pads & landing sites UK & France
Guys,
No sales pitch here and nothing to do with me, just thought I would share the info, I came across this great little app for your phone called Helipaddy yesterday which you can save your landing sites and waypoints on and share with the world..... Or anyone else who has the app that is. How many posts have there been on here people asking if anyone knows of a site near ....... I know I have a few times... The app can only get better and better as we all share new sites, eating places, hotels etc have have the info all in one tidy place electronically... There is a small charge to get the full database, but the app is free to use for your own sites. Best little app I have seen for years, so just thought I would share. Regards |
Apps for helicopter flying.
I have been searching for quite some time, apps to facilitate my pre-flight/ navigation planning and also during flying.
Apart suction mounts and stuff like that, i was wondering what apps and maybe gagdets you currently use or found useful. Searching the net, i came across this website giving some tips: Recommended Apple IPAD apps for Pilots But i still want to hear someone's opinion especially since apps vary from location: N America vs Europe and android vs apple. Thanks :) |
Is that web site based in Malta too?
|
apps to facilitate my pre-flight/ navigation planning and also during flying |
I don't think so. Thanks :) will try them out!
|
SkyDemon is best of the lot. It has Malta charts available.
|
Thanks :) but currently flying in italy as well
|
Coverage in Africa?
|
SkyDemon has all of Europe charts and much of the rest of the world too.
Also files Flight plans. |
I use Runway HD and can't recommend it highly enough
|
I prefer programs that have a one time subscription; if possible, since i don't fly commercial. Since it is not worth it if i fly only a few flights annually.

Useful applications for helicopter pilots
For all the preflight & navigation I think most pilots use sky demon. It all depends on what your using the app for and your interests.
Im a PPL holder and I love to find new off-site landing locations to increase the accessibility of my helicopter travels. I was speaking to my mate recently and he recommended - Helipaddy. Its an app that is a must have for any UK helicopter pilot. It has mapped out a tone of landing location into a database that provides awesome information like landing information, site details, any hazards etc. The app has only recently been released and is relatively unknown from my perception so it has been a good find. If you Helipaddy into google you should find it. Let me know what you think :ok::ok::ok:! Ive been using the app on weekends to find new locations to explore!! |
Do you use an ipad or a droid? Some apps are better and function way better on apple
|
Has anyone used Ozrunways?
Made for new Zealand and Australia but can be used all over the world. Ifr charts icao and vfr. One time subscription which is better than annually. Currently using air nav pro but doesn't have ifr capabilities. |
Helo.X - A helicopter simulator I've been working on.
Hi guys,
Thought you all may be interested in a helicopter simulator I've been working on for the past few months. It's called Helo.X and it's on both the Google Play store as well as the Apple App Store. Here it is on android. And it's paid on iOS so I wont link it here as I don't want to be seen as purely trying to make money:oh:. I'm genuinely interested in what you all have to say about it. The feedback thus far is "too hard to control". Do you guys agree? |
Look up the upcoming CG app for NH90 !

technology
Just a curious post really, how many of you use mobile technology when you fly? I have found some excellent apps for the ipad/iphone and wondered if these were popular. Have tried to find a good weather app for the uk but most of the GA ones are for the States.
Any suggestions of what others use would be good as well. |
Power Check Mobile App
Hello,
If anyone would be interested, I released mobile app to calculate power check for AS350BA helicopters. It works on the basis of flight manual charts. You can download it completely free from the App Store: apps.apple.com/app/id1471892720 If above link doesn't work, you can find it under the name Helitrends Lite. Use is very easy, enter NR, TQ, Ng, ambient conditions and see if you have enough power to flight. If you have any question feel free to contact me. Hope you find it useful. |
