## What is In?

Add a whole new dimension of realism to your Infinite Flight experience with this polished, third-party add-on to Infinite Flight, the best mobile flight sim on the App Store!

Hear over 30 co-pilot voice samples during your flight, whether it's takeoff callouts like "V₁", "Rotate!", or "Positive Rate", or whether it's warnings when speed limits are being approached, or confirmation callouts when setting flaps or gear settings.

In-Flight Assistant is NOT a flight simulator itself but rather requires Infinite Flight to provide voice callouts and realistic automated warnings for your flights.

====================
HOW IT WORKS

Start In-Flight Assistant, then launch Infinite Flight on the same device - you'll hear a confirmation that In-Flight Assistant is connected. It will now be watching your flight and provide the callouts as you configured them within the app. It's that simple!

====================
CO-PILOT CALLOUTS

The following callouts are provided:

 • "80 knots"
 • "V₁"
 • "V₂"
 • "Rotate"
 • "Positive Rate"
 • "Let's watch our speed, captain" warning when taxiing or flying too fast
 • "Gear up/down" confirmation
 • "Flaps at XXX degrees" / "Flaps Final" confirmations
 • Spoiler status
 • 4 voices, including Mark 'Skyhawk Heavy' Denton!
 • Autofill feature for v-speeds (NEW)

=============
PASSENGER ANNOUNCEMENTS (IN-APP PURCHASE)

 * Welcome aboard announcement
 * Arm doors for departure & cross-check
 * Safety briefing
 * Flight attendants, take seats for takeoff (when turning on strobes)
 * "You may move about the cabin now, etc."
 * Descent beginning
 * Welcome post-landing

=============
RUNWAY AWARENESS AND ADVISORY SYSTEM (IN-APP PURCHASE)

 * "APPROACHING RUNWAY 12R", "ON RUNWAY 12R"
 * "CAUTION TAXIWAY"
 * "FLAPS FLAPS"
 * "UNSTABLE UNSTABLE"
 * "TOO HIGH TOO HIGH"
 * "TOO FAST TOO FAST"
 * Many more..

====================
AUTOMATED GPWS WARNINGS, FLIGHT ALERTS, SIMPLE VNAV (IN-APP PURCHASE)

Experience fully-featured GPWS warning callouts such as "TOO LOW, GEAR", "SINK RATE", or "PULL UP!" - in accordance with the specification of the real-world Honeywell MK VI GPWS system - with all 6 modes supported, including turboprop alternative settings (automatically detected), Steep Approach Bias, Flap Override settings, and more.

(NEW) Also provides a waypoint proximity alert system and a simplified "VNAV" system where you can set altitudes and speeds you want the autopilot to have per waypoint!

The following callouts are provided:

 • Autopilot disconnect warning sound (Airbus / Boeing)
 • "GLIDESLOPE" both quiet and loud, depending on how low you are
 • "SINKRATE"
 • "PULL UP! PULL UP!"
 • "TERRAIN! TERRAIN!"
 • "DON'T SINK"
 • "TOO LOW, TERRAIN"
 • "TOO LOW, GEAR"
 • "TOO LOW, FLAPS"
 • "APPROACHING MINIMUMS"
 • "MINIMUMS" or "MINIMUMS, MINIMUMS" (configurable)
 • "BANK ANGLE" based on aircraft type, altitude, speed, autopilot setting, etc.
 • "RETARD, RETARD" when landing in an Airbus

=============
VOICE COMMANDS (IN-APP PURCHASE)

Using a headset mic, use voice commands to control many of the airplane's systems! Once it is set up, In-Flight Assistant will be listening for your voice to say things like "gear up", "set heading 2-3-0", and much more, and your co-pilot will set the autopilot settings for you!

IMPORTANT A headset and a quiet environment is recommended for best accuracy. The stronger your non-American accent, the less accurate the recognition may work.

====================

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2026-08-07, version 2.05*

Very fun

### 3/5 — Abandoned

*2026-05-14, version 2.05*

Last update was 2 years ago and the dev stated in 2025 that IF-A was a non-priority. App is still functional but don’t expect maintenance or new features

### 5/5 — best

*2025-09-10, version 2.05*

best GPWS callouts & every thing else u can think of!!

### 4/5 — Good app for flight simmers

*2024-12-22, version 2.05*

It’s a great app, although I am disappointed that the commands don’t really recognise my voice no matter how American I speak, I’m literally shouting towards my phone rEtRAcT gEAr and looking kind of stupid, also, I’m not sure if the commands really work.

### 1/5 — What?

*2024-08-05, version 2.05*

I paid this app 5.00$ for my Infinite Flight, but I have to pay 5.00$ more dollars to get more  features!? That’s a rip off, because I PAID and WASTED my money just to pay more features, I fought when you pay you get all the futures by paying but nope.

### 3/5 — Alerts/VNav

*2023-03-16, version 2.03*

Was a great app but at present vnav is not working hasn’t for a while don’t waist money on this feature

### 1/5 — Flaps call issue in IOS

*2022-12-12, version 2.02*

PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE

### 4/5 — Great App!

*2022-08-26, version 2.01*

This is a great app and I frequently use it while flying in Infinite Flight! There is one feature that I would like to have added to the app though. I would like to be able to customize the in-flight announcements, to make it better fit your route. Other than that, I highly recommend this app!

### 5/5 — Perfect!!!

*2022-07-25*

This app deserves it’s price. I bought the GPWS call-outs and they made my flights soooo realistic. The shaky cabin while taking off and the procedures make the game more live. Thank for this beautiful app!!!

### 5/5 — More Landing Comments from FO

*2022-07-14*

First off, I LOVE what you’ve been doing with IF Assistant and a long time user.  

Right, anyway, currently the only reaction to our landings are applauses when it’s butter or maybe “Parkey” and when I don’t get them a few times makes me what to say “I can’t believe it’s not butter”. 

Could we get other remarks?  I’m thinking of “Mark” the FO saying things like “I think I lost my dentures on that one”, “well this plane needs an inspection now”, “I think this airframe has more buckles than a Wyoming Bull Riding Champion” to even “ not bad, it’s not a crash”

At least something between Irish Butter and … well, a crash.
