Store listing
By Karsten Heiland, from the App StoreDescription by Karsten Heiland Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
The cockpit is the most expensive place to discover the gap between knowing the theory and flying the procedure. VOR Tracker is a real-time IFR procedure trainer for holding patterns, radial interceptions and DME arcs — you fly them on the instruments you already use, wherever you are, whenever you want.
One-time purchase — for less than half an hour of dual instruction, and it never renews. No subscription, no ads.
FLY THE INSTRUMENTS YOU ACTUALLY USE
- Fixed-card CDI, RMI, HSI or EHSI — the EHSI adds wind, track and groundspeed
- VOR or NDB, with realistic dip error and atmospheric noise on the NDB
- Aircraft speeds from light trainer to jet
TRAIN THE WAY YOU FLY
- Freeze the action when things get too fast
- Skip ahead through the straight bits
- Drag the aircraft to reposition, or repeat any exercise from a new random start
- Stuck on holding entries? Let the map show you the sectors
- Build your own missions, with your own wind
RAISE THE STAKES WHEN YOU'RE READY
- Start calm, then add wind: steady, gusting, variable — or hidden, so you work it out yourself
SEE YOUR PROGRESS
- Rewind and fly it again; the previous tracks stay on the map so you can compare
MADE FOR
- Student pilots who would rather make their mistakes on the ground
- Pilots preparing for a check ride, an IPC or a simulator assessment
- Instructors who want to show an entry, a lead angle or a wind correction in real time
WHAT IT IS NOT
- Not a game
- Not a flight simulator: it trains navigation procedures at a constant speed and altitude
- Not a ground-school course: it assumes you know the theory and need the practice
"I was really struggling to visualise NDB joins and an hour on this and I have it cracked." — App Store review
"I highly recommend it to all of my students and to anyone learning IFR procedures." — Google Play review
Recommended for simulator-assessment preparation by training organisations including Horizon Swiss Flight Academy, SKY4u Aviation Service and Airline Entry Training.
VOR Tracker has trained IFR procedures since 2014, on iPhone, iPad and Android.
