Pilot Windstar vs Simionic G1000 (PFD)

Pilot Windstar is an iOS native app designed by pilots, to help compute heading corrections, and ground speed quickly and easily. Designed to aid CPL and PPL training, Pilot Windstar aids navigation and diversion techniques. Simply select wind direction in degrees, windspeed and TAS in kts and let the app do the work for you! The groundspeed figures appear in green, and correction angle applied to heading to maintain track are shown in blue. These are displayed around the compass rose. Interpolation between the compass points give data for all 360 degrees. Use it for navigation planning, diversion techniques, or planning drift in the hold. Take the mental stress out of practical diversions. The windstar app is based around the theory of maximum drift, and compatible with many teaching techniques including the Navigation Rule DP-1, available at www.digital-innovations.co.uk Please note that all data is for information only and is not a substitute for primary navigation techniques.

To obtain MFD functionalities, download the MFD app from AppStore which can co-operate with this app(PFD) via wifi connection. Download address of PFD app: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id827464105?mt=8 2. This app is for practice only. The navigation database included in this app may be outdated and very possible to be different from what it is in real life. Disclaimer: -Simionic and the seller are not affiliated with Garmin, -The app is not provided, approved, endorsed, or otherwise supported by Garmin. Garmin G1000 is an integrated avionic system used in many small aircrafts. This simulator simulates a primary flight display(PFD) which is used on Cessna 182T, 172S, 172R, 206H and Beechcraft Baron G58. It can also be configured to adapt piston, turboprop and jet engines. Most of the useful functionalities has been implemented in this simulator, such as navigation, inset map, flight plan, flight director, and autopilot. Besides of that, nearly every nob/button is functioning just like they were on the real G1000. G1000 is a highly integrated system, it is very powerful and also very complicated. It is recommended that you have a real G1000 user guide from Garmin. This simulator can be used by aviation enthusiasts as well as pilots to perform either an IFR training or just fly for fun. There is a global navigation database included in this simulator, and you can fly any where in the world. This simulator supports FSX, Prepar3D, MSFS2020, X-Plane and InfiniteFlight. You can use this simulator either as a stand alone trainer or as an instrument for FSX, Prepar3D, X-Plane or InfiniteFlight. You need G1000Bridge(X) to make this simulator working with FSX, Prepar3D, MSFS2020 or X-Plane. Please visit http://www.simionic.net to download G1000Bridge(X).
