User reviews

Doesn’t Work

It’d be awesome if it would just work in the first place. On regular mode you can’t get past putting on the fuel cutoff guard (there is none) and no checklist item afterwards can be completed. On “no error” mode you can’t even get the starter going. I can’t believe it cost $25. Ridiculous.

In app purchase

It’s a shame this app isn’t supported as I have just paid £25 for it and can only do the start until the engine self sustains and nothing else. Can you please enable the in app expansion or please can I have my money back.

Garbage

This app on iPhone is garbage, doesn't work

Great Training App

There is the occasional fuel cut off issue but it doesn’t take long to re start the app. Any plans for more helicopter cockpit trainers? Bell or Airbus?

Excellent revision for startup

Works as advertised. Very useful to refresh on startups prior to flights.
