Good app, but More Flexibility Would Make It Much Better
The app is good and does what it is designed to do, but it remains quite basic.
It is mainly focused on the fundamentals of IFR navigation: holding patterns, radial interceptions, and DME arcs. Free flight is also available, but the overall experience is not very ergonomic.
The app offers weekly approaches, and you can also choose approaches yourself. However, I would really appreciate a more intuitive way of practising complete procedures, including missed approaches, DME holds, and non-published holds. At the moment, the available holds seem to be limited mainly to NDB and VOR/DME-based procedures.
It would also be great to have a more user-friendly way of practising complete departure, arrival and approach procedures, rather than focusing mainly on individual exercises.
Another area that could be improved is the choice of instruments. On the standard layouts, the available instruments are quite limited. For example, you have an HSI and an RMI, and an ADF but no OBI (my bad if i called them wrong). It would be very useful to have a wider selection of navigation instruments and, more importantly, the ability to choose which instruments you want to use for each exercise. Greater modularity would make the training much more flexible and allow users to practise different navigation techniques and instrument configurations.
I would also appreciate more detailed explanations of the calculations and methods behind the exercises. For example, when dealing with the angle of lead, it would be very useful to have the calculation method explained step by step. The same applies to determining the optimal interception path: explaining how to calculate or select the appropriate interception heading would make the training much more valuable. Providing practical mental calculation methods, formulas, and step-by-step explanations would help pilots understand the reasoning behind the exercises rather than simply following the instructions.
Overall, this is a good app for practising the basics of IFR navigation, but it currently feels limited in terms of both content and ergonomics. Anyway i recommend it

Holding,Interception radial.
Holding will be cleared in one day.
Explanation is not very well, but if you have some knowledge you can get it clear in your head.

Thanks for the feedback. Good point that the explanations could be clearer, and that's something we take seriously. If anything specific is confusing or you have suggestions on how to improve it, feel free to reach out at support@ifrsimulator.com.
Excellent app for practicing IFR procedures
One of the best apps I’ve come across for practicing IFR procedures. What I like most is that you can actually fly and visualize holds, intercepts, and other procedures.

Thanks for the kind words. Glad the app is helping with your IFR training. If you ever have questions or suggestions, feel free to reach us at support@ifrsimulator.com.
Recommendation & Feedback
Very nice! Like the options and design! One thing: would be nice to have a tutorial mode where you can fly the tasks in a tutorial to learn how to do it as a beginner. Also would be cool to be able to connect with other profiles and see their flights

Très bonne appli pour réviser
Idéal pour réviser avec différentes options (glass cockpit, instruments conventionnels, NDB, VOR…)

Merci pour ce retour, c'est exactement l'idée : pouvoir s'entraîner avec glass cockpit, instruments conventionnels, NDB, VOR, selon ce dont on a besoin. Bon entraînement, et n'hésite pas à écrire à support@ifrsimulator.com si tu as des questions ou suggestions.
