About this app

Improve your IFR skills, prepare for simulator screenings or support your flight training with the IFR Flight Simulator designed for pilots and student pilots.

Basic knowledge in instrument flight rules (IFR) required

Calculate and fly procedures in a realistic real time flight simulator with a modern cockpit interface and review the flown track on the map.
Realistic flight physics provide an excellent experience.
The database includes more than 5000 airports and 11000 navigation aids.

+++ APPROACHES +++
Select one of over 5000 airports to fly approach procedures including ILS.

+++ HOLDING TRAINER +++
Generate randomized holdings and figure out entry procedures, calculate wind correction angles and timings.
Fly VOR, VOR-DME and NDB holdings with the simulator and review the flown track on the map.

+++ INTERCEPT TRAINER +++
Generate randomized intercept situations and figure out the heading for in- and outbound intercepts.
Fly the intercept and review the flown track on the map.

While this isn't quite like flying in an aircraft, it has been extremely valuable in practicing holds, hold entries, and scanning, all while using your smartphone for free! Very useful tool. While the hold practice seems useful, for hold entries I found it to be more valuable to great my own hold scenarios, as the in app hold practice either has not enough information, or too much information (already giving you the hold entry, etc.) Depending on which page of the hold practice you look at.

Not a pilot (I wish), but I enjoy flight sims and learning everything I can about IFR. This app is not only a great tool for intuitivly understanding the geometry behind hold navigation, but also being able to practice windage adjustments. The addition of freeflight and multiple airports really shows the potential. I would love to see point to point radio navigation and an ILS landing simulation option + ingame link to charts/maps. This is fun learning!

I am not a pilot (but have always dreamed of being one since my youth, but life had other plans for me ~ I'm 58 now), but must admit that this IFR simulator app is highly addictive. It is also very satisfying when coming in on an approach and landing the plane successfully. I especially like the map that is displayed after your flight, showing the plane's trajectory to and from the airport.
