IFATC Companion is a companion app for Infinite Flight. Live Connected Mode requires the Infinite Flight app, sold separately, running on another device on the same local Wi-Fi network. Use IFATC Companion on your iPhone while flying Infinite Flight on your iPad. The app gives flight-sim pilots a realistic gate-to-gate radio companion for commercial IFR flying, including clearance, ramp, ground, tower, departure, center, approach, landing, rollout, ground, and ramp-to-gate calls. FREE MOCK MODE Mock Mode does not require Infinite Flight. You can practice a complete scripted gate-to-gate ATC scenario for free before connecting live. LIVE CONNECTED MODE Live Connected Mode requires: • The Infinite Flight app, sold separately • Infinite Flight running on another device • Both devices on the same local Wi-Fi network • Infinite Flight Connect enabled • An active IFATC Companion subscription With Live Connected Mode, IFATC Companion connects locally to Infinite Flight where supported and uses simulator state to provide phase-aware radio calls. Live Connected Mode can make simulated ATC calls automatically based on simulator state, flight position, altitude, and phase of flight — including takeoff clearance after lining up, departure handoff during climb, center handoff around FL180, STAR/descent clearance, approach handoff near arrival airspace, ILS approach clearance and tower handoff on final, and runway-exit instructions with ground handoff after landing. Live Connected Mode is designed for: • Local companion use on iPhone while flying Infinite Flight on iPad • Gate-to-gate commercial IFR call flow • Ramp and apron conversations • Ground, tower, departure, center, approach, and arrival calls • Aviation weather summaries • Ride reports and turbulence advisories • Automatic Weather Diversions detects weather along your route and automatically simulates realistic ATC weather advisories, pilot-requested deviations around precipitation, and clearance back to your flight plan. • Interactive Taxi Map – Automatically generates realistic taxi routes to and from the runway with a live airport map, runway-crossing clearances, and pilot readbacks. • Digital ATIS – Receive realistic ATIS broadcasts with runway, weather, altimeter, and airport information before departure and arrival. • Live Activities and ATC background audio – stay updated and hear ATC communications even while using other apps. • Saved ATC sessions – Use with AP+ or Infinite Flight Live mode to save multiple ATC sessions for later as you swap between flights.
