No standard rate turns?

Seems HDG inputs result in an immediate course changes which is not realistic. Why not simulate a standard rate turn so we can practice intercepts and holdings with realistic wind correction and turns.

Great learning tool!

Fantastic tool to help understand the navigation instruments. Really appreciate the “blind” practice exercices.

It's good for students start IR

It's really good for student. I got so much helped from this app.
But I hope you guys have LOC option. Because you know HSI has not reverse sensing with VOR but LOC. I wanted to test how HSI is moving with LOC.
If you guys offer LOC mode, I already knew your app will be the best choice for many students.

Great IFR tool for students

This is is a very nice tool for students to understand intercept angles. One suggestion would be to make Bearing to and course to station relative the the VOR1 and VOR2 so we’d understand how to pick the best intercept angle to get the the station/airport. Great app. Pilottraining.ca needs this tool!

Gentlemen, Start Your Timers!

For the two minutes that you get to try this before it wants $25 to continue, nice layout and format. Didn’t get to try anything else so I deleted it.

-UPDATE- It’s nice to see the company listen to the Feedback and adjust the timer accordingly.

FAQ

What is the IFR Flight Trainer Simulator?

This app is a simulator designed to help pilots learn and practice instrument flight rules (IFR) navigation. It allows users to develop and improve their understanding of IFR procedures in a safe and cost-effective environment, much cheaper than actual flight hours.

What instruments and procedures can I practice?

The simulator includes instruments like VOR, RMI, HSI, EHSI, DME, Directional Gyro, and airspeed indicator. You can practice VOR and NDB navigation, learn to track and intercept radials, fly DME arcs, and set up standard or non-standard holding patterns.

How much does the IFR Flight Trainer Simulator cost?

The app is free to download and use, but it offers in-app purchases. This means you can access basic features for free, with options to purchase additional content or functionalities.

What kind of scenarios can I create?

You can create custom scenarios by relocating the aircraft and ground stations using a drag-and-drop interface. This allows you to practice specific routes or situations you anticipate in real-life flights. You can also add wind to increase the challenge.

Is this app suitable for beginners?

Yes, the app is designed with simplicity and intuitive operability in mind, making it perfect for student pilots learning IFR procedures for the first time. It also includes built-in tasks to help users learn the essentials.
