Description

** This app requires a device capable of showing the app menu **

This application was inspired by the information and situations I faced during my education as a commercial pilot. I hope you can find it as useful as I wish I had it back then.

Some general and theoretical aviation knowledge is required, which I hope will encourage you to keep learning.

One of the purposes of this app is to make some tedious work as automated as possible, so please drop me a line if you miss any features.

Features:

- Lear how to visualize the Holding pattern in your HSI and tell immediately what kind of entry applies
- Learn how to quickly calculate the wind components in your HSI
- Learn how to calculate a heading to a point defined by a VOR (point-to-point navigation) in your HSI
- Get latest METAR/TAF and NOTAMS using ICAO codes
- Calculate time and distance to the PSR (point of safe return)
- Calculate the aerodrome pressure altitude, ISA deviation and environmental lapse rate by entering the QNH, temperature and aerodrome elevation
- Use millibars, inches of mercury, degrees centigrade or Fahrenheit (aerodrome pressure altitude)
- This app less than 40 kb after move to SD card
- Adobe AIR less than 400 kb after move to SD card

Note:
This application requires the free “Adobe Air” application which can be downloaded from the market. A link will be provided after installation.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

2 ★The pressure altitude changes when you change the temp. That is incorrect as DENSITY altitude is affected by temp and pressure altitude is only affected by the deviation between ISA pressure (1013.25) and QNH.
1 ★Unable to connect for wx/METAR/TAFs
5 ★Luks and works neatly
