Practice your instrument flying skills with this handy and detailed IFR trainer for iPhone. With Interceptions for iPhone you can practice: - INTERCEPTS: the calculation of interception headings to and from VORs. The exercises are randomly generated and will never go beyond a 90° intercept. - HOLDING ENTRIES: Calculate randomly generated holding entries. The solution is displayed directly on the instrument, making it easy to visualize the actual holding. Includes calculation of first heading for the entry. Please check out the app "Holdings", which lets you practice every single aspect of holding patterns! - ANGLE OF LEAD: AoL calculations are also displayed right on the instrument, making it easy to visualize the situation from the aircraft's perspective. - WIND CORRECTION ANGLE: Visualized WCA calculations, completely with instructions.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Cockpit App Systems at Free against Interceptions's $0.99. Cockpit App Systems also leads on rating (4.8 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (495 vs 2). Interceptions's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 15) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Cockpit App Systems is free to download; Interceptions costs $0.99 up front. Cockpit App Systems sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Interceptions asks for nothing beyond the download.
Cockpit App Systems holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cockpit App Systems has 495 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Interceptions's written reviews are positive against 63% of Cockpit App Systems's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Interceptions ships an update every 3 weeks, Cockpit App Systems every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
