In-Flight Assistant
| Category | Price | Seller | Device |
|---|---|---|---|
| Games | $4.99 | John Goering | iPhone, iPad, iPod |
Hear over 30 co-pilot voice samples during your flight, whether it's takeoff callouts like "V₁", "Rotate!", or "Positive Rate", or whether it's warnings when speed limits are being approached, or confirmation callouts when setting flaps or gear settings.
Note that In-Flight Assistant is NOT a flight simulator itself but rather requires Infinite Flight to provide voice callouts and realistic automated warnings for your flights.

====================
HOW IT WORKS
Start In-Flight Assistant, then launch Infinite Flight - you will hear a confirmation that In-Flight Assistant is connected. It will now be watching your flight and be providing the callouts as you configured them within the app. It's that simple!
====================
CO-PILOT CALLOUTS
The following callouts are provided:
• "80 knots"
• "V₁"
• "V₂"
• "Rotate"
• "Positive Rate"
• "Let's watch our speed, captain" warning when taxiing or flying too fast
• "Gear up/down" confirmation
• "Flaps at XXX degrees" / "Flaps Final" confirmations, each based on aircraft model (the new C-130 is supported)
• NEW: Spoiler status
====================
VOICE COMMANDS (IN-APP PURCHASE)
Using your headset microphone, use voice commands to control many of the airplane's systems! Once it is set up, In-Flight Assistant will be listening for your voice to say things like "gear up", "set heading 2-3-0", and much more, and your co-pilot will automatically set the autopilot settings for you! It feels magical and keeps your focus on flying the plane.
IMPORTANT NOTE: A headset and a relatively quiet environment is recommended for best accuracy. The stronger your non-American accent, the less accurate the recognition may work.
The following voice commands are supported:
• "Gear up" / "Gear down"
• "Flaps 15 degrees" / "Flaps 3" (based on aircraft's flaps settings)
• "Set heading 1-4-5"
• "Set speed 2-4-5"
• "Set altitude 9 thousand 5 hundred"
• "Set flight level 2-2-0" (use for altitudes above 10k feet)
• "Lock vertical speed"
• "Set vertical speed minus 2 thousand"
• "Beacons on" / "Beacons off"
• "Landing lights on" / "Landing lights off"
• "Strobes on" / "Strobes off"
• "My plane" / "My airplane" (deactivate autopilot)
• "Set V1 1-3-0" / "Set VR 1-5-0" / "Set V2 1-6-0"
• "Set Minimums 4 hundred"
====================
AUTOMATED GPWS WARNINGS (IN-APP PURCHASE)
Experience fully-featured GPWS warning callouts such as "TOO LOW, GEAR", "SINK RATE", or "PULL UP!" - the system is in accordance with the specification of the real-world Honeywell MK VI GPWS system - with all 6 modes fully supported, including turboprop alternative settings (automatically detected whether the aircraft is a turboprop), Steep Approach Bias, Flap Override settings, and more.
The following callouts are provided:
• Autopilot disconnect warning sound (Airbus / Boeing)
• "GLIDESLOPE" both quiet and loud, depending on how low you are
• "SINKRATE"
• "PULL UP! PULL UP!"
• "TERRAIN! TERRAIN!"
• "DON'T SINK"
• "TOO LOW, TERRAIN"
• "TOO LOW, GEAR"
• "TOO LOW, FLAPS"
• "APPROACHING MINIMUMS"
• "MINIMUMS" or "MINIMUMS, MINIMUMS" (configurable)
• "BANK ANGLE" based on aircraft type, altitude, speed, autopilot setting, etc.
• "RETARD, RETARD" when landing in an Airbus

Reviews
Amazing app but could be even better
Naudit
I love this app and I consistently use it for almost every single one of my flights on infinite flight. I love the RAAS capabilities as well as the flight attendant calls. Although this is great I think a great addition to the game would be a TCAS system. I have no idea if this would be possible or hard to make in game but I think that would really give IF the most realism. It could have a warning if an aircraft turns orange (gets with in 3 miles at similar altitudes) that you would hear a TRAFFIC TRAFFIC call out and possibly even aircraft type, altitude, and in what direction they are in relation to you. It would be even cooler if when an aircraft gets to be red that you get the CLIMB CLIMB and the DESCEND DESCEND warnings. This would bring an amazing realism feel to the game. Again I have no idea if this is possible but if it was I would really appreciate that and I think others would too. Regardless this is still a really good app and does a good job at what it’s supposed to do. Thanks for making such an amazing app.
Decent App!!

I just wish that the airline you would pick would have that type of airlines flight attendants and the same safety video. But super realistic!!!
Cost
Stinks make it better
I don’t understand why we should pay 5 dollars for the app and additionally pay 20 more on add-ons. Why
It’s good but I have a problem

I love this app but when I enter the app and I have purchased everything there I cannot hear the co pilot anymore after this update was released so I would be great full if you could fix that please.

...I’m going with the wait and see what’s to come attitude! Thanks John for the response to my question a while back. I love the new shaky camera and all the additional bells and whistles that brings an amazing realism to Infinite Flight. I don’t understand why more people haven’t purchased this — it’s a perfect companion! I’m no pilot but when using In-Flight Assistant with Infinite Flight it sure makes it seem like I’m one — at least until you see the hundreds and hundreds of pages of flight manuals one actually has to learn in order to fly any plane. Then you realize who am I kidding. Oh well, thanks for making the fantasy enjoyable!
Only actual content is via multiple IAPs
SmiteMatter
2 stars for effort with the API. This really only has any interest if if you fully intend to shell out $4. for each of the IAPs. All useful content must be purchased. As is you’re just buying an app to tell you what your flaps are set at, and to slow down here and there. Little else is included but all of it is yawn inducing. The female voice acts are both good, the males sound like they are aware of the fact that they are being recorded, but the actual recordings makes them sound like disembodied voices in a cargo box. Reverberated and it just sounds absurd. All in all this is just a shallow show in tell effort for how to work the API successfully. Not worth buying any part of.
Awesome App!

I just got this app and couldn’t get it to work , John helped me out ! He responded back very fast ! I’m looking forward to use this app!
Great audio!Very cool

This is a coo infinite flight add on. At first I was confused on how to use it, then I emailed the owner. He was very helpful. Great app!
Spectacular.

While I hadn’t used the app before, as I didn’t think my older iPad could handle multiple things running along with Infinite Flight, with my recent upgrade to a brand new iPad Pro 2018, and a little nudge from my friend, I can’t stop using In-Flight Assistant. It’s the best companion app around. With all of the callouts (yes, I got every IAP there is to have…), it’s so helpful! I can tell if I’m too high on approach, too fast while taxiing (although that rarely happens ?), it’ll do my ascent and descent for me, and so much more. So thank you. Thank you for designing such an amazing companion to Infinite Flight. I couldn’t be happier with it!
