Great App… fun to run!

I’m not a pilot but I sure learned a lot about holding patterns using this app. It’s really fun to plug in numbers and watch your plane enter the holding pattern and stay in it until landing time! Pro Tip: Try different speeds to fly various types of planes! You can look at the plane’s control panel while watching your path in a different window. You can also get step by step instructions to try in a simulator or even a real plane! I can’t wait for the next app from this developer!
