PilotDeck

PilotDeck 4.5 - plan a route by eye and fly it with a big NEXT line. Every pilot feature stays free, always. US airways expand from the FAA database: LAX J60 BLD becomes the fixes between them ROUTE MAP - BUILD BY TAPS - Layers on the map: MY points, VOR and NDB, fixes, US airways, your zones. Only what can be read at this zoom - WPT mode: hold a point or the map and it goes into the route in order, with a cursor that shows where the next one lands. MOVE, DEL, UNDO and REDO - The route is solid magenta as on an FMS. FIT frames the whole route, including a round trip from your home field - Zones: tap for the card with limits, CHECK asks the NOTAM. A leg through an active restricted or danger zone turns red, flashes once and is named in the header. Above or below the zone - amber only FPLN - COORDINATES THE FMS WAY - A CDU keypad in the Honeywell layout, capitals only, with a cursor you can place on any digit - Type coordinates as one word (N3402.1W11723.3), ARINC five-character (5724N), place radial distance (PDZ 091 45), two radials, along-track (CIVET -10) - or paste them as they are from an OFP or AIP - Every leg shows bearing, distance and time at the GS from INIT. The header shows the total time IN FLIGHT (GPS) - NEXT, big and magenta: the point ahead, its bearing, distance, time and ETA, with the leg flown as a bar and the point after it - Off the bearing by more than 5 degrees - an amber turn hint. Thirty seconds before the point - the turn to the next one - Courses are magnetic, by the nearest VOR - A restricted or danger zone active by NOTAM on your vector up to 10 NM ahead: red banner, three low tones and a strong vibration, again at 2 NM. A CTR or ATZ ahead: a cyan clearance note - Sunset at the destination and a warning when your ETA is after it. When REC stops, a flight log card - NAV folds the big panel into one NEXT line, MORE folds the rarely used keys ALSO - US airways expand from the FAA database: LAX J60 BLD becomes the fixes between them - Your own airfield gets local time from the nearest station - Fixed: a crash on a round-trip briefing, a crash after DEL in FPLN, a station that could stop updating at the turn of the month
