Ratings and reviews

absolutely terrible. whoever created this app doesn't know anything about aviation in the U.S. we don't use meters here. not in aviation. not ever. AI is slow and poorly programmed. i asked for vfr minimums to test it (very basic stuff). it took a full minute to respond with a bunch of garbled nonsense. chat gpt got it perfect in a few seconds. no pilot should ever touch this app.

I've been using AI for a bit to help with training and will be using this more. At first glance this app seems pretty useful, I particularly like the quick references at the bottom of your question. This is a great start to an app and see it going places if the small intricate details that a pilot needs to know get fleshed out over time. The only gripe I have is the amount of time it takes for a question to be answered but seems like a solid start overall!

So far seems to work very well. Has only cited reliable regulatory sources. Very useful as a research tool as it provides you quick access to all the sources it is using.
