Air Manager lets you design custom flight simulator instrument panels on your iPad. Panels can connect to X-plane, FS2020, FS2024, Prepar3d and FSX.
Use your iPad as a primary instrument panel and have your computer monitor for outside view only, or use your iPad as a secondary com stack to easily set frequencies through the iPad touch screen. Air Manager comes with more than 1000 free instruments. Add, drag, scale, build your instrument panel in only a matter of minutes. Save your created panels, and switch between them quickly.
User friendly
No difficult settings or downloading and configuring of third party applications. You can download the necessary plugins from our website for free. We offer a complete solution!
Place instruments anywhere you like
Tap an instrument to add it to the canvas, hold and drag to rearrange, and pinch to scale, it’s as easy as that.
Loads of free instruments
The application comes with more than 1000 free instruments, and this collection keeps growing.
Buttons, Switches and Knobs
Controls like Buttons, Switches, and Knobs let you control the simulator from your 2D panels, so your Flight Simulation is super realistic. Setting a radio frequency or the altimeter setting, moving electrical switches, and controlling the autopilot are just a few examples of what you can do without directly accessing the flight simulator.
Multiplatform and multi simulator
The Air Manager plugin runs on Microsoft Window, Mac OSX, and Linux, both 32 bits and 64 bits, and is compatible with Laminar Research X-Plane 9, 10 and 11, Microsoft FSX and Lockheed Martin Prepar3D.
Must have app if you like flight simulators, connects perfectly with Xplane 11, however update 4.1 doesn't work for me on iOS 9.3.5, I have three iPad 2s and in all of them the app crashes when starting and doesn't enter the app, didn't happen on 4.0. Hope it gets fixed because I love using it.
Air Manager for iPad: A Frustrating Experience
BobbyC
As a flight simulator enthusiast, I was excited to try out Air Manager on my iPad with MSFS 2020 installed on my PC. However, my experience with this app has been less than satisfactory. Let me share my thoughts on why I found it unusable and disappointing.The Good:Concept: The idea of creating custom instrument panels using an iPad is appealing. Having touch-enabled controls for my flight simulator sounded promising.The Bad:Flashing Dials: The most frustrating issue I encountered was what I call flash dials. When I loaded an instrument panel, the dials would initially appear full-sized on the iPad screen, but then they would suddenly shrink to show only a portion of the dial. This inconsistency made it impossible to use effectively.Hours of Frustration: I spent hours trying to figure out a solution. I scoured forums, read documentation, and experimented with settings, but the problem persisted. It felt like a waste of time and money.Lack of Clarity: The installation process was not straightforward. I expected a simple setup, but instead, I found myself navigating through confusing menus and options. The lack of clear instructions added to my frustration.Conclusion:Air Manager has potential, but the current version falls short. The flash dials issue severely impacts usability, and the complexity of installation makes it far from an easy add-on. I’ve requested support, but until this major problem is resolved, I cannot recommend this app to fellow simmers.If you’re considering Air Manager, proceed with caution. Hopefully, future updates will address these issues and improve the overall user experience.
Love it!

I love the app so far. It allows me to put up bigger versions of the instruments that I can easily see without having to switch to the instrument view In MSFS 2020. The only fault that I have found so far is that I am not able to find the premium panels. I might just be missing something, so I will keep looking.This is definitely an add-on to have for your flight simulator experience.
I love this app

I struggle to read my Beechcraft Bonanza F33a instruments on X-Plane 11. This app allowed me to create a close to identical instrument panel on my old IPad that is far more readable than my HD monitor. Set up time was negligible as I started from a Beechcraft B58 cockpit and replaced stuff to match the F33a. Only complaint is having to buy the desktop version to actually create new instruments for the F33a and V35.
- Support for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
- Added additional instruments and panels
