Stats for nerds, finally for passengers! See turbulence, cabin pressure, g-forces, and real flight data from your airliner in real time. Flight CoPilot makes clever use of the full suite of iPhone sensors to register real-time flight dynamics. • Turbulence level is displayed on a real-time seismograph and logged for your flight session. • G-force is monitored in real time during manoeuvres, takeoffs, and landings. • Cabin altitude is accurately measured to display the pressurisation profile of your journey. • Aircraft altitude, position, and ground speed are derived from passive GPS signals. Reception may be limited depending on aircraft type and seat location, and this is monitored and indicated in real time. • Airports are automatically detected at departure and arrival. • The virtual horizon display tracks roll and pitch. • Compass shows your current heading and deviation. • Full flight logs with all information are stored locally on your device for later review. • No accounts, no servers, no tracking. And it all runs in Airplane Mode. • It also has a very… very cool night mode. Flight CoPilot is built to be efficient. Native, lightweight, and optimised for long flights, it delivers continuous data without draining your battery. This is the “stats for nerds” of aviation: turbulence, g-forces, cabin pressure, altitude, speed, navigation, and other flight data at your fingertips.
