Pros and cons of Nav Trainer Pro app for iPhone and iPad

Nav Trainer Pro app good for

this app is very good, do you can practice your ifr very easy

Good made app, i use it for adf and vor training and can say it is very useful even on small iphone screen. Worth each cent. Programmer was fixing a request within a week! Also a plus point.

Really cool for learning and its helps me to improve I give it 5 star

I imagine the ILS simulator is better on iPad. Overall an excellent app.

What a time saver when you can visualize your situational awareness without an expensive trainer and aircraft fee attached. It is great that you can try endless scenarios in minutes and learn so quickly. I would recommend this app for anyone who is considering IFR training. Sincerely Mooney Encore pilot

A must have for students and teachers for use of VOR, ADF, RMI, DME

Some bad moments

Seems to be a scam! Worked for one day and no longer! Beware!

The screen that the airplane is flying on is too small not permitting to intercept certain instructions within the boundary. This makes the app useless for complex instructions. I didnt have a chance to try other apps on tge same segment but this version is a one that not much to be expected.

Just one more tool I am using to help me teach students that havent flown with traditional navigation equipment. Wish the quizzes were more random but I like the new update.

I teach instruments for the US Army at Ft Rucker, Al. This is a very good app to demonstrate the effects of wind on your course and how various MH effects the correcting for wind drift. Its also very useful in explaining, demonstrating and adaptive practice of track/course intercepts. At this price its more than worth it.

This is a great program for learning awareness and to stay current. You can rotate the compass card one degree at a time and practice awareness for that degree. Worth every cent and well written. The only fault which is minor is sometimes the airplanes are to close to each other which can result in a missed answer. Overall it is a great program.

Awesome Navigational trainer! Easy to use and a great training aid for all! Bravo!!
