iPad software

[Jenkin. J. Steed.]

Hi again guys, having just gone solo, I'm looking to broaden the horizons eventually. Have been looking at flight planning software and a few Mates are using OzRunway. I downloaded the demo version and it looks great, still unsure what some of the features do but it will all make sense eventually I'm sure. Anyway when I get to doing my cross country nav I was looking at paying my 75 beer tokens for the yearly subscription. Then I read an article in Australian Flying mag about "AvPlanner" by AvSoft. Looks good too, with extra features such as overlaying weather radar on the charts. Has anyone had much experience with either? I am only interested in the VFR functions.

 

I know I will have to learn and prove I can nav on paper first, but with 30 years in the marine field, nav shouldn't be a problem, it's basically just adding a nought onto the speeds. So once I've satisfied my CFI that I know my deviation from variation, which one is the most user friendly? Price for each appears around the same. But I know from experience that some software is a snap to learn and others take you through endless convoluted menus... Once again, any advice appreciated.

you can have weather radar on OzRunways as well. More important is tha Ozrunways is a locally produced product. The owner of the Business flys at my airfield. You will always get good support and it seems Ozrunways is near industry standard... Thats it from my view... I love the product

Ozrunways has my vote, I have downloaded and tried avplanner, and it didn't seem as intuitive to me, but I must admit I didn't devote much time to it, having already purchased a subscription to ozrunways.
