I wish I had this as an IFR student

Just found out about this app and have it a shot. I already hold an IFR rating so I see no need to buy the plan, but man, just going through the free holding and track/intercept practice makes me wish I had this in my training.
I definitely would’ve bought a plan and it would’ve made it so much easier (especially with unpublished holds which I sucked at lol).

Now I just use it to maintain my own proficiency when I’m not flying. Thanks for making this incredible app!

Thank you for your feedback. We understand that pricing is a concern, especially for students. However, most features are free and only some features require a Pro subscriptions. Our goal is to offer valuable features and continuous improvements. Please contact us at maihoffapps@gmail.com so we can discuss potential solutions. We appreciate your support and understanding.

Absolutely brilliant

As a young aspiring aerospace engineer, this app is such a unique and useful tool for getting a sense of flying on instruments alone. It could likely be used also as a demonstrative aid for those who suffer from a fear of flying. Excellent stuff, and kudos to the developer(s).

Great tool

Perfect for beginners to career pilots for sim prep or interview prep

Good app but extremely expensive

Good app that can be improved for those who needs to review holding entries but pricing is extremely expensive

Amazing!!!

Really helpful app

Needs improvement and more features

I’ll start out with the positives. It is very intuitive and the UI is great. I just wish there was more thought into anything but holding. Don’t get me wrong, that part is great, but why even market “approaches and departures” if fixes aren’t modeled? I tried to fly a simulated NOTWN5 departure out of VGT and I chose the “takeoff” option. It spawned me at 3,500 feet and 200 knots (1,300AGL) and so that made it pretty tough to simulate flying the procedure in a GA airplane.

I’d highly suggest you tone down the speed minimum (maybe to 60?) so it can appeal to a wider audience… I’d guess that 90% of the people using this app are instrument students who fly airplanes that approach much slower than 80. I’d also really like to see a more intuitive departure algorithm, maybe it starts at 100AGL and 70 knots instead of 1,000AGL and 200? Or give the option to modify how it starts you. Not to mention adding fixes.

Or even a VERY BASIC “breakout” view. I tried to shoot an ILS and you can basically just descend into the runway until it tells you that you’ve crashed. Maybe at minimums a pop up appears that let’s you choose wether to land or to go missed.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your insights and suggestions. We understand your concerns regarding the current speed limitation. In holdings and intercepts you are already able to lower the speed down to 90kt which will be added to Free Flight as well in a future update. Unfortunately, a breakout view is not possible as the app does not feature 3D graphics. But your suggestion concerning a landing or goaround popup are understood. Also, a radio altimeter is planned which will display the height above the ground. Furthermore, a goaround can always be initiated yourself by increasing the V/S to a positive rate. Your feedback is essential for us to enhance the app. Stay tuned for updates as we work to address these issues and improve your experience. If you have more ideas or feedback, feel free to reach out.

Excellent IFR Training app.

I got this app to sharpen my IFR skills. It does that and more. I’m on top of my game now. Awesome app!

Has potential

This app definitely has great potential in helping pilots and aviation enthusiasts improve and revise their knowledge. Some functions are still missing tho. Adjustable Range rings would be a neat feature to have!
