FlightView is a revolutionary new Electronic Flight Information System (EFIS) for experimental and light sport aircraft. The FlightView app turns your iPad into a comprehensive flight display and touch-screen navigator, providing a full suite of modern flight and engine instruments, VFR navigation tools, and situational awareness.
Please Note: The FlightView app works with the FlightView line of hardware components from Falken Avionics. You can test out FlightView without a FlightBox, but the hardware is required to operate an aircraft.
