Read full description

SOQA HQ is the mobile companion to the SOQA flight quality platform. Record a flight on your PC with the xFDR desktop app, then open SOQA HQ on your phone to review every takeoff, approach and landing in the same detail a real airline analyst would. Every flight is graded against real Flight Data Monitoring events — long landing, hard touchdown, off-centerline, high sink rate, high vertical speed, VFE speed exceeded, unstable approach, RNP path deviation, TCAS RA, GPWS warning, and dozens more. Each event carries a real severity level and a snapshot value you can review on the ground. Key features Flight Debrief Every flight opens on a boarding-pass card with your callsign, aircraft, route, distance and time, followed by an events map and a Flight Summary panel. Tap through to see every event that fired on that flight with its severity, time, and location. 3D Flight Replay Visualize your flight in 3D over real terrain. Follow the route from wheels-up to touchdown, see altitude and speed at every point, and understand exactly what happened at every event marker. Take-off and Landing Runway Track A dedicated runway view for every takeoff and landing shows your aircraft path down the runway, alignment with the centerline, touchdown point, and rollout. Great for spotting a drift, an off-center touchdown, or a runway excursion at a glance. Approach Analysis A vertical-path chart and a lateral-deviation chart show how you flew the ILS or RNP approach in the last 1000 feet. Compare your actual path to the glide slope and the extended centerline. Weather Radar Playback See the weather you actually flew through. Radar imagery captured during the flight is overlaid on the map, so you can review why your track deviated around a cell or where turbulence was likely. Filed Flight Plan If your flight was on VATSIM, IVAO, or filed on SimBrief, the filed plan (route, DEP/ARR, cruise level) is shown next to the actual flight for a side-by-side check. Flight Filters Filter your logbook by airport, aircraft, date range, or duration. Find that one KJFK to EGLL flight last month without scrolling. Dark Mode Full light and dark themes.
