Air Navigation Free by Xample Sarl
DescriptionWelcome to Air Navigation Free !Air Navigation Free is a flight information system. It is a basic version of Air Navigation, a full featured aircraft navigation application for iPhone/iPod/iPad with GPS. Using the GPS receiver and accelerometers of the iPhone it can simulate different type of real IFR or VFR aircraft navigation devices. Instruments are fullscreen and have a dark background for easy readability in the cockpit during day or night operation. It contain a database with approximately 50000 navaids (VOR-DME & NDB's) and airports all around the world. The database is embedded and you can use it offline without an Internet connexion. FEATURES - a HSI and its related CDIs (Course Deviation Indicator) - a VOR-DME simulator and its related CDIs (Course Deviation Indicator). Unlike a real VOR, you can select any waypoint from the embedded database NDB's etc. - an ADF - a Gyro compass - An embedded worldwide database with approximately 50000 navigation waypoints (NDBs and VOR-DMEs, airports) - Slip indicators in every instrument view REQUIREMENTS & DISCLAIMER A GPS enabled device is required to use navigation modules. Using Air Navigation on iPods may require an external GPS module. Using Air Navigation with "Airplane mode" turned on, may require an external GPS module. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Please note that this software is not intended to replace a certified navigation device. You should always use official aeronautical documentation when preparing and performing a flight. You should always use certified navigation devices when performing a flight. What's New in Version 2.1.0- Now compatible with X-Plane flight simulator. Air Navigation plugin for X-Plane Mac and Windows can be downloaded on our website http://www.xample.ch- Database update - Fixed various bugs Customer ReviewsDon't have a clue (1 star)When trying to use this without any instructions is maddening. How do you select a new station or vor? Being a pilot I'm clueless. Works well overall for me (4 stars) Note that there is a manual on the developer's website (for the Pro version) that addresses most of the critical comments in other reviews. No stability issues for me on iPhone 4. Not sure about currency of database, but it has good info for the airports near me except for comm frequencies for small fields (not inaccurate, just missing sometimes). There is a bug with opening the list of navaids, but re-opening the list several times Air Nav Free (1 star) Good idea but, on any HSI I've flown you can set HDG independently from COURSE. Not having this standard feature makes the APP kind of silly.
