This app provides a photorealistic simulation of an analog aircraft altimeter. It displays current altitude in both analog and digital formats, configurable in meters or feet. An additional pop-up shows detailed GPS information like latitude, longitude, and speed.

✓Photorealistic analog altimeter simulation
✓Simultaneous analog and digital altitude display
✓Configurable units (Meters/Feet)
✓Adjustable altimeter knob
✓Pop-up GPS information display
✓Uses device Barometer or GPS

App appearance change

This was a good app but lately it changed its appearance. It doesn’t seem to know how high above sea level it is. I might be missing something but tried it today and you had to have a local altimeter setting to tell you the hight above sea level. I would compare the gps hight against a pressure altimeter to see the difference. I hope this is fixed or you might as well scrap the app.

Aircraft Airspeed IOS 12.1 Compatible?

Is there any chance that the Aircraft Airspeed app can be made compatible for iOS 12.1?

These are by far the nicest aircraft gages out there. I own the other three, but it would sure be nice to have this one as well.

Can it be converted to 64 bit?

Thanks for the update!

I never deleted this app as I had been hoping for a compatible iOS update. Thanks for finally releasing one. Nicely done.
Cheers!

Altimeter

The visual quality is Cr-- looks like a paper cut out.

Acft alt not good

1) Help has misspelled words - shows lack to pay attention to detail. 2) The Adjustment covers up the 3) what should be is a working Kohlmanns window. 3) Cannot fine tune the adjustment easily. 4) Since attempting to emulate an aircraft's altimeter, should have a "knots" unit for Speed (groundspeed since GPS derived). Without a working Kohlmann's window, the app is virtually useless as a trainer/emualtor.

FAQ

What devices does Aircraft Altimeter support?

Aircraft Altimeter is available for iPhone, iPad, and iPod. It requires a device with GPS capabilities, and barometer mode requires a device with a barometric pressure sensor.

How accurate is the altitude reading in Aircraft Altimeter?

Altitude readings are derived from the device's internal Barometer or GPS, which have limitations. GPS accuracy can vary, and readings may be off by hundreds or thousands of feet, especially with a poor sky view. It may take a minute or two for GPS to lock onto satellites.

Can Aircraft Altimeter be used offline?

The app's core altimeter function may work offline if using the barometer. However, the GPS data display, which provides latitude, longitude, speed, and heading, requires an active GPS signal and a clear view of the sky, thus not fully offline.

What is the age rating for Aircraft Altimeter?

Aircraft Altimeter has an age rating of 4+. This indicates it is suitable for children and general audiences.

How often is Aircraft Altimeter updated?

The latest version, 3.15, was released on December 18, 2017. While the app has not been updated recently, its core functionality as a simulator remains.

What are the main differences between the analog and digital displays in Aircraft Altimeter?

Both displays show your current altitude, but they can be configured independently to show either Meters or Feet. The analog display mimics a traditional aircraft altimeter, while the digital display offers a numerical readout.

Does Aircraft Altimeter consume a lot of battery?

Continued use of GPS running in the background, as utilized by the pop-up display, can dramatically decrease battery life. Users should be mindful of this when using the GPS features extensively.

What is the purpose of the "Adj." knob in Aircraft Altimeter?

The "Adj." knob on the analog display allows you to adjust the altimeter, similar to how it is done on an actual aircraft unit. This feature enhances the realism of the simulation.
