The implications for iPad usage in GA aircraft are HUGE. The day it launched in the USA I ventured out to the local Apple store to try one out.
While I was there I decided to give ForeFlight Mobile 3 HD a play and admit that single application was the make or break decision for me. Once I saw how elegant ForeFlight Mobile was, I knew I had to have an iPad.
And don’t worry because we’ll be making plenty of video reviews for iPad and it’s aviation super powers.
I downloaded the AeroWeather iPhone app a while back and have been using is frequently. It’s nice for those times when you just need a quick peek at the current weather conditions and don’t feel like launching Safari to hit up ADDS.
Here are some of the features of this application:
Airport selection options: choose from a worldwide airport directory, search by ICAO code, or find nearest airports using the location service on your phone
View METARS and TAFS (reference ONLY – no mention of QICP certification by application programmer)
View airport details like UTC time, airport latitude/longitude, variation, elevation, sunrise/sunset times, and more
Watch the video above for a complete application demo and tutorial.
