    Before you start your IFR training you have to know : A) how to scan B) performance settings Make your life easier, master this first then go and shoot approaches

  • Power + Attitude = Performance

    This is a great training tool for IFR students and rusty pilots. It helps develop and practice a good scan, and it teaches the most fundamental principle of Instrument flying: Attitude + Power = Performance Level flight: half bar up + 2200 rpm Ascent at 500fpm: 5 degrees up + 2400rpm Descent at 500fpm: 5 degrees down + 1800 rpm Level turn: half bar up + 2300rpm Besides that, the game/challenge format of this app is brilliant, as it motivates IFR students to try harder.

  • Incorrect Dynamics / Stability

    The program requires holding the iPad at an angle to keep the aircraft in a bank. I'm a CFII and, uh, no! Please make the control inputs / flight dynamics / stability work similar to X-Plane.

  • Simple, cheap, and does the job

    Just the primary instruments plus the tach. Van extremely useful tool for initial ifr practice and the instrument portion of ppl training. It even has inop instrument challenges where the attitude indicator will slowly fail. Probably has other failing instruments I have not seen yet. Only reason not 5 stars is because I think it's missing a realistic lagging effect where the roll of the plane lags behind the control input. Otherwise it's great.
