## What is IFR Trainer AviationWiser?

IFR Trainer AviationWiser is a practice tool for instrument-rating students, pilots and instructors. Drag the aircraft, change the wind and see how holding entries, VOR and ILS needles, DME arcs and the six-pack respond.

Ten trainers in one app
• Holding: place the aircraft and see the entry (direct, parallel or teardrop) and the pattern. Quick entry, Build and Fly modes. With wind, compare the exact wind-corrected solution with the AIM 3x rule.
• VOR: turn the OBS and read the CDI and TO/FROM. Position, Intercept, DME fix and Fix to fix modes.
• ILS / LOC: drag the aircraft in plan or side view and watch the localizer and glideslope needles.
• DME Arc: find where to start the turn so you roll out on the radial. Exit and Entry modes.
• ADF / RMI: fixed-card ADF and rotating-card RMI side by side, with homing and tracking.
• HSI: a heading-driven card with course arrow and CDI, plus "Where am I?" to find your position from the indications.
• Procedure Turn: 45/180, 80/260, teardrop and hold in lieu. Explore or quick practice.
• Descent: descend to a fix, angle to ft/NM to V/S, top of descent, climb gradients, MDA/HAT and VDP.
• Failures: pitot, static, vacuum and electrical failures on a six-pack. Explore, or practice with a hidden failure and decide which instruments you cannot trust.
• Altimetry: setting errors, cold-weather correction, pressure and density altitude, QNH, QFE and standard, transition level.

Shared wind model
Set the wind once. It applies to Holding, VOR, ILS, DME arc, ADF/RMI, HSI and procedure turn.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-11-04

What's new in 1.1

- Scroll from anywhere. On a phone or tablet you can now scroll the page with your finger on a chart or on the VOR and HSI dials. Touch the amber aircraft to drag it, tap a spot to place it, swipe from any other spot to scroll.
- VOR trainer (Pro): an optional glass HSI in G1000 style. Under INDICATOR choose HSI (GLASS); it shows the same TO/FROM and deviation as the classic VOR head. The classic head stays the default.
- VOR receiver (Pro): no flag abeam any more. TO/FROM switches at exactly 90 degrees from the selected course and the needle stays at full scale; the red NAV flag shows only over the station (cone of confusion).
- Holding trainer (free): three new modes. COCKPIT (HI) shows a heading indicator with your heading to the fix and the three entry sectors; read the entry from the card. ATC CLEARANCE builds the hold ATC gives you at a fix, draws it, writes the clearance and shows your entry. PAPER METHOD teaches the checkride technique step by step, with practice questions.
- Everything new is also in Turkish.

For educational practice only; not for in-flight navigation.
