Awesome!

I am currently in IFR training for ATPL. I was looking for a tool that could help me learn how to fly holdings etc. The app is awesome! It has helped me tremendously to understand and practise how to fly a holding!

Best Interception and Holding Trainer!

I am currently in my practical ATPL training and I was looking for an app that gives me interception and holding tasks as I would encounter them in the cockpit. This app does exactly that. Extremely helpful!! Haven't found anything similar.

The way how you rotate the knobs is a nightmare

It’s not possible to use the app because it’s almost impossible to rotate the knobs

A message to the developer. Please change the interface. The best way how to change the heading and a bearing is the way how you enter the alarm time in the clock app. Just do the scroll wheel. But for now I decreased my rating to even 1. I will increase it to five right after you change the interface.

Response from developer

True, it is almost impossible to rotate the knobs, but only if you try to use a rotating gesture. Tab and slide makes it very smooth. Fun fact: DmitryDen's initial rating was 3 stars, after telling him he did it wrong, he changed it to 1 star.

Best App in the world

I downloaded all the vor training apps on the App Store to study instrument flight, but I don't think any app is as practical and helpful as this app. I needed an arc of less than 60 degrees, so I sent an email to the developer, and I was impressed by his immediate response and proactiveness in making corrections. It's worth even $50.
If you want to study instrument flight, be sure to download this app.

Cool

Helps to Understand Vor Navigation

This app is fun and easy to use. I used it to prepare for my Part 121 Aircraft Certification (DX exam) that covers HSI

Excelente app!!

App muito bom pra quem deseja treinar IFR, com missões para mudanças de radiais, interceptação, arco DME, órbita, e além do mais é de graça!! Obrigado!!

Grandioses Tool! Awesome Tool!

Diese App ist super um seine eingerosteten IFR-skills mal wieder aufzufrischen! Habe sie für so einige Sim-Assessments über die Jahre mehrmals gebraucht!

This App is just perfect to get your IFR-skills freshened up for the next check ride or Sim-Assessment. Used it several times for sim assessment preparation over the years. Definitely a recommend!

Very useful IFR trainer for pilots

This app is really useful to practice IFR basics procedures, such as holdings, interceptions.
It helped me a lot to prepare airlines sims assessment!
I strongly recommend it to all pilots and students to maintain or train their basic IFR skills.
This app has been made by a pilot, for pilots!
It’s a must have in your Aviation App Library!

Helped me a lot and saved me $ in flight training

One feature that would be nice is Holdings for example 1NM from station. That way you don’t have the flip flag for example

Response from developer

Thank you very much, and working on it!!

Excellent App for basic IFR

Easy and helpful, allows creating custom scenarios and get the idea of ‘the big picture ‘ .

PS; they have great after sales response. I was having trouble with an app and emailed the creators, they fixed it with an update within days!

Must have !

Very useful app whichever Pilot you are ! Super helpful when I was student pilot to prepare my sim session or my IR flights.

And of course to maintain « the skill » to fly basic IR stuff !

Doesn’t mimic real world intercepts

The random placement makes no sense. In what world would I intercept the 264 radial inbound if I was EAST of the station? I have to open the map almost every time and reposition so I can intercept under 90 degrees

Response from developer

There is an option to limit the starting position to within 90°. The app is not necessarily meant to simulate real life conditions, but to let you practice IFR procedures, so that you get the most out of it. Only being comfortable with intercepting from a certain sector gives me the feeling that it might be better for you not to reposition, but to just fly into that sector. This will greatly enhance your situational awareness.

Great training tool

This is a great way to train your brain to quickly visualize the needles. I’m using this to exercise VOR nav skills in quick 5 minute breaks. Beats social media and cheaper than burning fuel. What it can’t simulate is the task saturation that you can experience in the cockpit. With that, this app is perfect with what it aims to exercise and will hopefully help reduce that workload saturation.

Useful app for pilots

Very good app for IFR training !
Holding/DME Arc/Interception... You can create your own missions and choose your instruments.
As said in the description, it’s definitely not a game but a great tool for professional pilots.

Excellent well made trainer

Great tool for students as well as any pilot wanting to have a bit of fun!

Does the job!

I’ll be recommending for my IR students

Old school interface

But very helpful, must have to learn HSI

HSI

To this point, all of my instrument flying had been undertaken on aircraft that was not equipped with an HSI. My plane now has one fitted. This tool has proved itself as an invaluable learning aid.

Fabulous app

Great app to easily & cheaply! practice intercepts & holds.
