It's a toy for pretend pilots

temnoff

Too much silliness in this app. Very cumbersome to use in flight. no easy to use magenta line manipulation while route planning or diversions for that matter. No FARS But you can pretend you are a stealth fighter...wow! Stick with Garmin or Foreflight. GPS ALWAYS FAILS AND NOT SAFE!!!


Great navigation app!

JDC517

It’s been several years since I’ve flown and used to do all my flight planning and navigation the old school way, which is fine, but with this app, what used to take me a few hours to do... I can now do in about one! And using this app on my iPad makes it even easier! I can flight plan on my iPad and set it up with the synthetic vision, and then use my iPhone for the moving map with terrain overlay. Great app!


Excellent!

Fantastic. Provides more flight planning and flight enroute info than I will ever be able to use or need. There are other very good programs of this type out there. How, with this you’ll never need another. And their customer support if you have questions is excellent. I’m using it with Stratux ADSB In now. Interface was perfect.


Doesn’t work out USA

Pilots - Please do NOT use for flight!

I am a Certified Flight Instructor and teach national courses on Mountain Flying. I think this app has many advantages over the competition but a dangerous and persistent flaw persists. When the moving map screen is touched either by intent OR involuntarily, the terrain layer freezes and no longer indicates terrain proximity. For flat land pilots or flight simulator pilots this may be acceptable. If you are a serious pilot, this App should NEVER be used for real world flight. There are MUCH safer alternatives. (I have spoken to company representatives on FIVE occasions over the past 3 years continuously hoping for a fix) Two weeks ago I left a detailed message with an employee who said the developer would contact me. . . .

For CFIs

Papa jack26

Wing X pro is free for cfis just scan your certificate and email them and they set me up with a free account ? I love foreflight but I am tired of the 200 dollar a year price tag


Great app and cust support

This program rocks. It works well and is easy to use. Also, the customer service is top notch and easy to get ahold of. Also, thanks for supporting the military. I will never use another EFB in my jet.


Excellent

Truly an egg outstanding electronic flight bag product! I am an instrument instructor for both ground school and flight coursework. Privately, as well as at a local organization. I am recommending this to everyone. Multiple overlays, intelligent – if sometimes counterintuitive – user interface, exceptional graphics. This makes flying easier and safer. I trust the data I am being shown. That should say all of it. One small additional item that I have not found in the program yet, the MOS. Model output statistics from the National Weather Service, that is the only thing I am still looking for here.


Disappointing

Arrow-pilot500

I’ve used this for three years and found it to be adequate. The real annoyance was all the finger tapping to go through various menus. But, what really was a turn-off was the unanswered questions I had. They never returned answers to my questions. I changed to ForeFlight and now understand why it’s the most popular EFB. And they always answer questions promptly.


Great iPad app for pilots

Dead-bug

I am a very serious IFR ATP aircraft owner, and this app has proven to be a great resource to add to my on-board GNS 530 and Garmin 496. The latest version has what I consider to be the "must-have" feature for serious GPS IFR navigation--the "4NM buffer" feature: This way you can quickly scan 4NM either side of the direct course centerline and determine the highest obstacle or terrainnot within that 8nm width and give that to the pilot to be able determine the FAA mandated lowest safe minimum off-airway altitude for that direct GPS course. This feature is fantastic! I keep it displayed as an option on my sectional view, and enroute, with the unique split-view of my low altitude enroute IFR charts, gives unparalleled situational awareness and safety. Great product...I have compared both it and Foreflight side-by-side and this app, in my opinion is the best at this time.
