iFlightPlanner for iPad to be Demonstrated at EAA AirVenture
Oshkosh 2011
Aviation headset manufacturer Sennheiser announced that it has
partnered with iFlightPlanner.com to develop what they say is a
groundbreaking flight planning application specifically designed
for use on the Apple iPad and iPad 2. Pilots and aviation
enthusiasts visiting Sennheiser’s booth will be among the
first to see the iFlightPlanner for iPad in action before its
release later this fall. At its booth, Sennheiser will be hosting
the iFlightPlanner.com crew, in addition to its newly unveiled S1
Digital headset.
With one touch, iFlightPlanner for iPad enables pilots to
seamlessly download flights planned using the iFlightPlanner.com
Flight Wizard into an iPad for use in the cockpit. This integrated
approach provides pilots the ability to efficiently plan flights
from their home desktop, laptop or any web browser and instantly
download flight information into their iPad. Once downloaded,
pilots may view flight details, including navigation logs, VFR and
IFR charts, as well as approach plates while in flight and without
a data connection. iFlightPlanner for iPad will also feature a
gateway into news, information and other communications provided by
Sennheiser. After landing, iFlightPlanner for iPad will allow
pilots to electronically close their flight plans and log their
flight details into their iFlightPlanner.com logbook.
“Our cooperation with iFlightPlanner.com is another
example of how we continue to support the broader aviation
community,” commented Dave Dunlap, director, Sennheiser
Aviation. "iFlightPlanner.com is an innovative company with a clear
focus on high quality. Through long-term strategic partnerships
like this, we want to decrease barriers to flight and make the
flight planning process as seamless as possible."
“We are thrilled about the opportunity to work with
Sennheiser and provide a flight planning experience that is
unmatched in general aviation,” said Andy Matthews,
iFlightPlanner.com’s co-founder and Director of Business
Development. “Seeing the results when two like-minded
companies from different sectors of the aviation industry come
together on a project like this is very exciting!”
In addition to route planning, certified weather briefs, weight
and balance calculations and filing of VFR and IFR flight plans,
iFlightPlanner.com also offers pilots:
- Seamless VFR and IFR charts complete with hi-res weather
imagery on Google Maps
- Detailed navigation logs containing forecasted winds,
temperatures, fuel burn, and ETAs
- Comprehensive Airport/Facility Directory with airport diagrams,
procedure plates, & business listings
- Integrated digital logbook that allows pilots to maintain
online records of their flights
- Searchable Flight Instructor Directory providing CFIs
opportunities to build their student base.
Sennheiser will feature demonstrations of iFlightPlanner for
iPad at the Sennheiser Pavilion each day of AirVenture 2011.
