About this app

fDeck turns your phone or tablet into a working aircraft instrument panel - a graphically beautiful flight deck for your pocket, with live aviation weather, real ADS-B traffic, a flight planner and a powerful radio-navigation trainer.

Trusted by 50,000+ pilots, student pilots and flight-sim enthusiasts worldwide. 100% ad-free.

★ A FULL PANEL OF FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS ★
Every flight instrument is hand-crafted to look and behave like the real thing. Mix and match any combination to build your own flight deck:
🔺 Synthetic Vision (Vision PFD)
🔺 Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI)
🔺 VOR receiver
🔺 Automatic Direction Finder (ADF) - now with optional fixed card
🔺 Artificial Horizon
🔺 Altimeter - with local pressure entry
🔺 Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI)
🔺 Aircraft compass with a functioning heading bug
🔺 Groundspeed indicator
🔺 Chronometer with fuel totaliser - optional auto-reset on takeoff
🔺 Live weather & wind, with TAF/METAR in raw or decoded form

Every instrument has its own built-in video tutorial.

★ LEARN TO NAVIGATE ★
Pan your aircraft anywhere on the map and watch every flight instrument respond in real time. Tune any VOR, NDB or radio aid from a worldwide aviation database, or build your own virtual navaids to practise tracking radials, intercepts and holds. It is the best radio-navigation trainer you can carry - want to practise VOR radial tracking on your house? Now you can.

★ PLAN YOUR FLIGHT ★
Build a flight plan and slave any flight instrument to it. Waypoints transition automatically as you fly, so every needle keeps pointing exactly where it should - no re-tuning between legs.

★ FLY WITH CONFIDENCE ★
🔺 Worldwide aviation database: over 20,000 airports and navaids, updated monthly
🔺 Aviation moving map with airspace, airports and navigation data
🔺 Optional 5/10/20NM range rings and enhanced radial lines
🔺 Live ADS-B traffic with a built-in traffic avoidance (TCAS) system
🔺 Tag your own aircraft registration to silence TCAS alerts on yourself
🔺 Export your flight tracks as GPX or KML

★ FOR YOUR HOME COCKPIT ★
Drive fDeck's flight instruments straight from X-Plane or Microsoft Flight Simulator via the flight simulation connection, and turn any device into a secondary instrument panel.

★ PRIVACY YOU CAN TRUST ★

For full functionality your device should have GPS, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer and barometer sensors. fDeck still works with reduced functionality if some sensors are missing.

IMPORTANT: fDeck is a training aid and a supplementary/backup instrument. It is not a certified instrument and must not be used as a primary means of navigation.

Ratings and reviews

just a "choose your instrument" popover not working well: it slides back to bottom and is unselectable.

Great app with lots of options for instruments, maps, navigation, etc. I fly an ultralight (Badland Aircraft) under US FAR Part 103 guidelines. Having this app helps by providing additional instruments and navigation aids without adding additional weight to my plane. Additionally, because I do not have ADS-B Out, the TCAS feature really helped recently when another pilot entered the pattern unannounced (without using a radio) by flying straight in on his final, while I was on my base leg.

Great visual app! Looking forward to the fixes and resolving the Ground Speed issues that are in work. Would like to see the attitude indicator show 5 degrees on the short line and 10 degrees on the longer line like I'm used to. DELETED VSI REQUEST (MY BAD). I'm always looking for effective training aids and this shows tremendous promise to move to the top of the list! PLEASE KEEP AT IT. I'm happy to assist and provide evaluation/feedback (aviation professional).
