Read full description

The application is developed as a collection of checklists for flying in flight simulators, such as X-plane, MFS and others. We try to always update existing data and add new ones. At the moment, there are main aircraft, for example, Boeing, Airbus, Cessna, etc. Checklists contain complete information from Pre-Start Checklist to Approach, Landing and Shutdown checklists. In aviation, a preflight checklist is a list of tasks that should be performed by pilots and aircrew prior to takeoff. Its purpose is to improve flight safety by ensuring that no important tasks are forgotten. Failure to correctly conduct a preflight check using a checklist is a major contributing factor to aircraft accidents.

Your iPhone is the flight controls. SkyYoke turns the phone in your hand into a precision yoke, throttle, rudder and full glass cockpit for the Infinite Flight simulator. Run it on your iPad or a second phone, share Wi-Fi, and fly in real time — no cables, no hardware. TILT TO FLY Bank and pitch by tilting your iPhone. The Motion Yoke reads gravity relative to a center you set, so any grip works. Prefer touch? Switch to an on-screen self-centering yoke pad. Tune sensitivity, dead-zone, expo and smoothing per axis. ONE SMART THROTTLE A single lever does it all: forward thrust, ground reverse, and proportional wheel braking below 40 knots — with airborne-reverse protection. Airbus pilots get a detented thrust gate (TOGA · FLX/MCT · CLIMB · IDLE · REV) with a haptic tick at every notch. A FULL COCKPIT, IN YOUR POCKET • Self-centering rudder bar • Complete autopilot — ALT, V/S, SPD, HDG with swipe-to-scrub, plus VNAV, LNAV, APPR • Overhead systems — battery, APU, external power, lights, engines, signs, autobrake • Numbered ATC keypad with a live message log • Swipe to pan the camera, double-tap to recenter, hold for cockpit view SPEAK LIKE A PILOT — 100% ON DEVICE Hold the mic and say "climb and maintain one zero thousand." The AI Voice Copilot, powered by Apple Intelligence, understands your speech and flies the command — altitude, heading, speed, lights, gear, flaps and more. Audio never leaves the device. (Requires an Apple-Intelligence-capable iPhone on iOS 26.) INSTRUMENTS THAT READ LIKE THE REAL THING • Airbus-style PFD speed and altitude tapes with trend arrow and selected-value bugs • Glass-cockpit HUD — airspeed, altitude, heading, vertical speed • Airbus-ND traffic radar with genuine TCAS II logic and spoken "Traffic, traffic" callouts • Live moving map with your track, traffic and airports FEEL EVERY FOOT Spoken "V1 · Rotate · V2" callouts. A ground rumble that builds from taxi patter to a hard takeoff roll. A heavy thunk as the gear locks. A reactive windshear warning. It doesn't just look like flying — it feels like it. PLAN THE FLIGHT A performance & weight-and-balance planner reads your live aircraft, in-sim weather and runway, and estimates V-speeds from 17 aircraft profiles. FREE TO TRY • Motion yoke, throttle and rudder • Full cockpit controls: gear, flaps, spoilers, autopilot, parking brake, pushback • Connect over Wi-Fi to a sim on another device • Fly on the ground and on takeoff (climb limited to 500 ft, thrust to 85%) GO PRO — FLY WITH NO LIMITS • Unlimited altitude & 100% thrust — fly gate to gate • TCAS Collision Avoidance with real-world advisories • Violation Avoidance System — keeps you at/under 250 kt below 10,000 ft • Performance Calculation — instant takeoff & landing speeds • Ground Contact Simulation — feel every wheel roll and touchdown • Traffic Radar — nearby aircraft on a real-cockpit-style display • AI Copilot — hands-free voice autopilot SUBSCRIPTION Pro is a subscription (weekly / monthly / quarterly / 6-month / yearly) or a one-time Lifetime purchase.

Verdict

The call
