Good idea, just don’t use calculators

Seems like a good idea. More user friendly than using a PDF copy.

The trip planning calculators don’t work, however. The trip time doesn’t sum properly (it just repeats the descent time value) therefore fuel calculation is based on the few minutes of descent time, not the whole trip. This is worthless and pointless.

Nice App - Needs Updated

There are significant changes in the FAA-8083-25C 2023 version.

One of the value propositions for apps that wrap pdf content publicly available should not only be the features around the standard content (favorites, calculators, etc) but most importantly for the content to be up to date.

Right now it’s like having an old book.

Very enjoyable

I have taken lessons in the past but never got my private license, one day maybe I will, but I really enjoy flying and learning about it. I agree with the other reviewer, very informative and detailed, I have not come across any errors yet but if there are any it probably is minor and I would not hesitate to let developer know, but I am glad I got this app, it’s great reading when you have spare time. 👍 nice app.
