Avionics Buddy

Turn your iPhone, iPad or Mac into a live companion display for Microsoft Flight Simulator with live telemetry, maps, customizable gauges, airport information, weather, flight statistics, approach helpers, missions and challenges—all without leaving the simulator window.

See your aircraft position on the map, monitor altitude, heading, airspeed, ground speed and vertical speed, browse airports, inspect runways, check live airport weather and use visual approach helpers while you fly.

Take on Missions & Challenges and give your flights a destination. Choose from included challenges or download additional mission packs, explore airports around the world and complete each objective by flying there in Microsoft Flight Simulator. Avionics Buddy automatically recognizes your landings, tracks your challenge progress and awards medals as you complete them.

Avionics Buddy is built for sim pilots who want to extend their Microsoft Flight Simulator setup beyond the main screen. Use it as a beautifully designed cockpit display on your desk or as an additional avionics screen in a larger multi-monitor simulator setup. Its adaptive interface makes use of the available screen space across iPhone, iPad and Mac, letting you build your own flight deck using the Apple devices you already own.

Track your current flight with the Trip Computer, including distance, fuel, speed, altitude, wind and temperature. Continue building your Lifetime Logbook with accumulated flight time, takeoffs, landings, distance flown and personal records across all your simulator sessions.

Search more than 80,000 airports, save your favorites, display selected airports on the map, inspect runways and review live weather before departure. Export and import your Airport Library to back up your saved airports or transfer them between your iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Stay connected to your flight, even when Microsoft Flight Simulator is running on another screen.
