They really should have gotten on this by now.
#Fltplan go support free#
If you are looking and thinking, I'll give my usual recommendation: take advantage of free trials.Ĭlick to expand.Whoever figures out first that pilots with in panel GPS want a package deal on chart updates for both their in panel and EFB and sets a reasonable price, is going to have a huge leg up on the competition.Ĭough, Garmin.
#Fltplan go support android#
In my current Android world - iFlyGPS and DroidEFB - again, pretty solid and I haven't seen any stability issues that would make me hesitate using one of them. In my current iOS world - ForeFlight, WingX, FlyQ, iFly GPS, and Aerovie - I think they are all solid performers and it's all about which interface you like and which bells and whistles you get used to. I already commented on WingX's Android version. In the Android world, I love the AvNavEFB interface and it but, it's current iteration has some stability issues. I also have a bias against free apps for IFR flight completely unreasonable, but I don't trust them. I use it periodically, but only on the ground so, again, I can't comment. I know FltPlan Go (and yes, it really is free) has had stability issues in the past but I long ago decided it wasn't an in-flight app for me. You can also hand write notes on any diagram or approach plate as needed.Ĭlick to expand.I haven't tried Garmin Pilot or Naviator in years, so I won't comment. Getting airport info is normally 2 touches as I think about it almost everything can be done in 2 touches or less. Taxi diagrams and approach charts show your aircraft on them.įlyQ has been very stable for me and any tech support questions I usually receive an answer in less than a day, unless it is over the weekend (I ask lots of questions, because I am new to flying as well as new to EFB's) I use mine with a homebuilt Stratux and AHRS works perfect and they support it. When I purchased it I got the lifetime version with all VFR and IFR charts for $600 (they run a special once a year or at least that has been the case.Ĭharts will alert you when they need updated and it is one button update. It will provide you with a legal brief and gets weather from DUATS (as long as you have a login). You can also set flight plan routing for None, Wind/Fuel only, Victor Airways, Jet Airways, Terrain Avoidance, search and Rescue. I do only fly VFR, but I will say this, it has the option to file VFR, IFR and DVFR. So with that- what do you guys recommend. Price- I'd rather pay for a extra flight or 2 then pay more for an app because it is the market leader. Has synthetic vision- I've never used it but since I'm getting a ADS-B in id like that optionĩ. Plays nice with mostly all ADS-B in solutionsĨ. Stable- again I don't want to be playing with it the whole flight, so stability is a big deal for meħ. Compatible with iPad and Andriod (not a deal breaker if only 1 but I'd like the choice to use Apple or Droid)Ħ. Ability to pull up the AFD easily and airport info.ĥ. Taxi Diagrams showing my plane on the diagramĤ. ATC confirmation with routing sent back to the app is a huge plus.ģ. Ability to get a legal brief and file directly with flight service for IFR flight from the app.
#Fltplan go support update#
Current IFR/ VFR charts that update easily (preferably automatically)Ģ. I know there is FlyQ, WingX, and FltPlan Go, maybe others I'm missing.ġ. I'm looking for PIREPS for the alternatives to Garmin Pilot and Foreflight. As someone who always champions the little guys in business I figure I want to move to one of the lesser known EFBs. In that quest I noticed Garmin Pilot doesn't play nice with some of the non-Garmin products that are coming out (ie. I am now ready to move to using a low cost ADS-B in since all these cheap solutions are becoming available. However, after their pricing structure kept going up I got a little disenchanted with them and moved on to Garmin Pilot. I started with Foreflight, which works great. Although I am quite capable with electronics, for me simplicity is key- in the plane I want to fly, not play with my iPad. I like to keep my eyes outside or on my certified instruments so I don't play that much with all the bells and whistles.
I use it mostly for approach charts, AFD info to brief on frequencies and local procedures, and of course en route maps, etc. I have been a iPad in cockpit user since I got my instrument rating around 6 years ago.
