No FPL?

Why would they create a trainer without FPL?

Good for PFD Symbology but needs GTN Intergration

Excellent symbology and presentation, but as others has said, you can’t modify or add a flight plan. You only can drone around in heading mode. It is great though for getting used to the presentation. I own a G600TXi and a GTN 750xi and use the PC version of this software to practice approaches and other related tasks. It would be nice to do this on my iPad!

No flightplan

Read the description carefully, you can’t edit the flight plan in this trainer app. That’s only possible in the gtn trainer app. To get the real deal you need the gdu and the gtn simulator running side by side, which at the moment seems to only be offered with the pc version of the trainer, not with the standalone iOS apps.

No flight plan

If it only had a way to enter a flight plan, it would be so useful.
