I would love to have it holly say holly please give it to me holly

Simple and Fast to use

Easy to make changes to heading and wind and see the big picture. Paper plotting got messy when things got busy with frequent ship/target movement. This was a breeze to make changes and updates to ship positions based on approach track. Way better than writing plots on paper. This app will be part of my flight bag every day I fly offshore.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback! We have completed a new update that will automatically calculate the crosswind component when the inbound heading is selected on the 2nd page of the APP. This will ensure that crosswind limitation is not exceeded during the approach and landing.

Wonderful Planning Tool

This app greatly improves the pilot’s Situational awareness and confidence.
Enhances safety and fosters good practices if used accordingly.
Great idea to create an app that uses existing technology and data to help offshore pilots plan their approaches.

Offshore Line Induction Training

I have been a TRE on many different Helicopter types and been involved with line and simulator training for experienced and new offshore pilots in various parts of the world. This APP provides the foundation for highlighting the importance of obstacle orientation and wind direction. The ability to to enter 2 values into APP provide an instantaneous solution to the best and safest approach for any platform or vessel!

Great app for Situational Awareness!

A great tool for planning and use in flight, easy to use and understand there is an update coming soon with the ability to change the scale for the obstacles. Gone are the old days of drawing on a board!

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback! We will continue to enhance and improve the APP to best suit every operator’s operational and procedural requirements!

Waste of money

Don‘t waste $13 on this app! You get the same level of awareness by drawing it out on a piece of paper.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback. The APP was designed to increase Situational Awareness and reduce workload when flying offshore, especially in marginal weather and planning an ARA/GPS approach. The ability to plot and visualise obstructions on any platform or vessel, with the ability to upload a photo of the facility, far out performs a piece of paper and how the information is provided.
