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.

Information at your convenience

As a student pilot this book covers topics a ground school usually doesn’t.
Very handy and helpful

...enjoyable

...good long detailed reading...however, the compass of your logo appears broken...an aircraft cannot fly straight ahead while doing a left bank.....fix it...

Great reference

The presentation is easy to understand.

Right on Point

It serves exactly what a digital version of the pHAC needs to be. Excellent app for the money and demand.

Must have aviation flying

Don’t miss out. This is my number one reference for flight instruction.

Useful for studying

Wish it had 2 features to get to 5⭐️: chapter numbers so I could reference other study guides easier, and dark mode for when reading at night!

Excellent resource !

Great information & free too. Thank you FAA.

Very helpful and useful information

This is helping me understand a lot as a student pilot. I can see myself coming back to this throughout my journey and hopefully one day career.

Best app

Best app!!!!! Easy to navigate

Awesome

Great reference. Includes many calculators for performance, conversions, weather etc...

Must have in today’s age when a student pilot

Stop carrying around a book. This is a must have and can be used offline too....I think

That kind of content should be for free!

Not impressed. Very informative poor

Must have it

I love it , all info is in this app

Umfassende info

Gute App die wichtige Information rund ums fliegen bündelt

This app needs more light

Incredible info in this app. People need to know more about it

iPhone X support

This app has lots of useful information but isn’t still developed for the iPhone X in mind where having so much more screen real estate would make reading this app brilliant.

Come on developers. iPhone X has been out since Nov 2017.

2 more stars for iPhone X support.

Informative and inexpensive

Great app. Have had this for a few years now. Though temps and calculations based on American systems the product is certainly applicable to aviation outside America.
