Horizon Portable Glass Cockpit
Pilot's Intuitive Navigation
Free · Designed for iPad
A fully functional portable glass cockpit (EFIS) for general aviation pilots.
"Horizon - Your Portable Glass Cockpit" improves your flight experience, offering you intuitive visualizations for enhanced situational awareness.
It provides a backup system for all relevant instruments for navigation and orientation in the air while being compatible with many sensor sources (internal sensors of a tablet or smartphone, external SensorBox, third party GDL90 devices).
Therefore, it contains all relevant functions of a modern glass cockpit on a tablet, as well as the advantage of redundancy due to complete independence from the built-in avionics.
New intuitive visualizations improve the situational awareness and thus make it possible, in particular for private pilots, to provide greater flight safety, less stress and thus greater enjoyment of flying.
