Radio Navigation Simulator Pro app review

Reviews

Introduction

To become a pilot you obviously need to go through huge amounts of training and we've got an app that can help you on your way. The Radio Navigation Simulator Pro app can be used on your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone and acts as a teaching tool for instructors to use. With this app instructors can show all the proper radio navigation techniques and on the flip side, students can use this app in order to test how well they understand the material.

Excel in Your Studies and Teachings

It doesn't matter if you're currently studying to become a pilot or you're an instructor; you can use the Radio Navigation Simulator Pro app as a learning tool. As mentioned the app offers a way for teachers to teach and students to learn about radio navigation techniques, which is of course key for pilots to know. If you have taken a look at the Student Edition of this app, this version includes all the same material plus additional information such as a choice of five flight panel configurations for use with the instrument sets, Dual Needle RMI, and HSI.

The app currently has 3.5 out of five stars from users and it seems that users are pretty pleased with the offering. Customers have commented that the app is surprisingly detailed and in-depth when it comes to the information they need to learn.

Using the App

There are a number of features in the Radio Navigation Simulator Pro app such as full chart-management complete with Planned Routes and VOR Radials, a scaleable chart that offers aircraft symbols, idents, and facilities, and a simulator that runs in a synthetic flight environment. The airspeed ranges from 60 to 600 knots, offers up an incredibly realistic flight panel so students get the full affect, an aircraft track trail can be used, and the flight profile can be done in compressed or real time.

There are plenty of ways this app can train for those variables that pilots run into such as wind velocity, how to manage to the flight panel, how to manage the charts, and just so much more. I appreciate the fact that there is so much content both for students and teachers making this app incredibly versatile and helpful of course.
