Track climb and descent with a new variometer featuring background mode and external data support. Find the settings you need faster with search. AirHorizon is a simple, responsive aviation instrument simulator built around an artificial horizon with real-time motion. Designed for pilots, student pilots, and aviation enthusiasts, it helps you visualize pitch and roll, monitor climb and descent, explore cockpit-style HUD layouts, and better understand aircraft attitude using your device or compatible external telemetry. Features: - Artificial horizon in portrait and landscape modes with smooth, responsive pitch and roll movement - Speed and altitude tapes - Heading tape with marker - Variometer with visual indication and audio cues for climb and descent - Variometer operation in the background or with the screen locked when sound is enabled - Variometer input from device sensors or a supported external data source - Adjustable variometer units, with sensitivity and response settings for device sensor input - Modern pitch and roll boxes - Night Vision HUD mode - External flight telemetry over UDP - Director Mode indication when using a supported external data source - Adjustable instrument layout and display tuning - Aircraft symbol overlay - System status indicators - One-tap calibration for pitch and roll alignment External telemetry and compatibility: External telemetry was tested on iOS and iPadOS with X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 12, and on iOS with Condor 3. All simulators ran on macOS; Condor 3 ran through CrossOver. AirHorizon is an independent app. Neither AirHorizon nor its developer is affiliated with the developers of X-Plane, Condor, or CrossOver. X-Plane and Condor 3 are used here as setup examples. Other applications may also work if they transmit flight data over UDP in a message format supported by AirHorizon. Using UDP alone does not guarantee compatibility. Available readings and features depend on the data provided by the external source. The guide in Settings > External Source explains network configuration, supported telemetry, and variometer setup. Important for iPad: Enable Orientation Lock to prevent the instrument screen from rotating while moving the device. Disclaimer: AirHorizon is designed for simulation and familiarization purposes. It is not a certified aviation instrument and should not be used as a primary flight reference. Use at your own risk.

In an emergency, this is way more accurate than what’s provided by your ADSB device, hanging on your window.

Flew in a plane

🙄🥱🙄
I flew in an aircraft, the airplane was making a turn and the indicator was working initially, then it came back to level even though the plane was still in a turn. I downloaded this app because I had no outside view of the windows and wanted to see how the plane was oriented.

Developer Response
Thanks for trying the app during your flight and for the detailed feedback.The app relies on the phone’s motion sensors, which use gravity as a reference. During sustained turns in an aircraft, additional forces may affect how the device interprets orientation, which may cause the indicator to return to level even while the aircraft is still banking.I will think about whether the accuracy can be improved in the future.If you remember any additional details, they would be very helpful for reproducing the situation. In particular:•whether you used the calibration feature•whether the phone was rotated or moved while the app was launching•which orientation the app was used in (portrait, landscape left, or landscape right)•how the phone was positioned (handheld, on the tray table, etc.)You can send the details to valnikodeveloper@gmail.com or through the support page in the app.Also, the app is not intended to be used as a certified flight instrument.

Nice AI but need a CAGE button!

It is a really good artificial horizon application but to be really functional it needs a cage button. Otherwise it is impossible to use it in the cockpit as a back-up.

Developer Response
Thank you for the review. A "CAGE" (calibration) functionality will be developed later. Please, stay tuned for the updates.
