Hi Sergie, welcome to our forums.

hey there SERGIE,

 

welcome to the forums and im sure you will have a ball here and get plenty of help.

 

I recently got an Iphone and ill list the apps that i have:

 

NAIPS: for weather and flight plan submission. about $10

 

Pilotwhizz: all sorts of conversions, heading calculator and weight and balance $0 free version

 

Dial A Wis: has a hell of alot of contact numbers for airfields all over the place. $0 i think

 

VFR communications: its for american air but its about 50 minutes of cleverly put together video with radio calls and a bit about airspace, good for students.

 

and finally ATC 4.0: its a game but a great one. $10

 

well there the flying related apps i have on my iphone.

 

just be warned that with NAIPS you will want a good mobile internet pack so you dont go over any limits.

agreed, NAIPS is mandatory for a pilot. as is Dial a wis.

 

other are

 

Trapster = free (keep your licence by locating police traps. works well)

 

BOM wether radar.

 

Camp and Hike (great for checklist when flying away.)

 

flashlight (free)

 

whatknot ( i cant tie a knot to same my life, helps when tying down aircraft)

 

wordlview (webcam viewer, can see most big airports in oz)

 

food advisor (great for locating good restaurants wherever you are)

 

Locly (finds pubs, hotels, supermarkets taxis cinemas etc in your location)

 

GeeMeter (G meter, yes you do get 2 G in a 60 deg turn)

 

and the regular no flying related onesebay

 

facebook

 

NASA

 

tunewiki

 

planets

 

 

[maddogmorgan]

Log Ten = electronic Logbook

 

Checklist Lite = configurable checklists

 

PilotWiz Lite (Free) = very useful, conversions, winds etc

 

Multiconvert (Free) = Just for conversions

 

ChronoLite = Multiple timers

 

 

[kth_logan]

Apps for the phone.

 

Another that you might like is ... i-HUD a mobile glass cockpit visualizer for the iPhone and iPod touch - iHUD app suite

 

This is a Glass cockpit working application...

 

But not to be relied upon.. I think this would be good on my motorbike also...

Thanks everyone for promoting Dial-A-Wis! ;-) 350 of you lot have it on their iPhones now!

 

This thread inspired me to put in another couple of hours and get "recent" numbers implemented. I just submitted it to the store, so expect an update soon!

 

As for my most used aviation apps:

 

- FlightTouch for calculations and conversions

 

- LogTen lite for logs. But this is really only useful if you use LogTen Pro on a Mac, which I do.

 

- NAIPS

 

- Pkt Weather, includes BOM radar.

 

I also have a bookmark on my home screen to the no-login-required Internet Briefing Service to get access to weather and NOTAMs quick. Works for other areas also, of course!
