Ratings and Reviews
Good practise, bad trainer
This app is great for playing with different scenarios but does not actually explain or show you how to use the navigation geatures. Great if you want more practise in using VOR and other instruments, but not so much if you dont already know how.
Excellent app for Instructors
This app is excellent for Instructors to use when teaching VOR, HSI, RMI and NDBs. It is a visual tool to help students earn the principal methods to do when intercepting Navaids. Highly recommended this app
Pocket procedures trainer
While I don't disagree with those who suggest that this has little use for those who don't know how a VOR or ADF operate, I would suggest that most apps have little value for those who don't know what they are for. For those who DO know how a VOR or ADF works, this is a great practise app. I use it for both practising and helping my students learn things like VOR intercepts, hold entries and getting established on an approach. The ability to turn off and on the plane is VERY helpful because it makes the user actually USE the instruments. Track trails then help to confirm if I got it right. The speed controller allows me to customize the tool for my needs. The time is a very thoughtful touch making it possible to practise Time-Turn-Throttle-Talk although you have to talk to yourself. :-)
I would suggest this for all instructors and IFR students.
