Cooperation Between Companies Helps Pilots Realize An
Integrated, Flexible Flight Planning Experience
iFlightPlanner.com says that an integrated flight planning
application specifically designed for use on the Apple iPad and
iPad 2 will be available next month.
iFlightPlanner for iPad, which is fully integrated with
iFlightPlanner.com, will be available as a free download in the
Apple iTunes Store in October. Sennheiser and iFlightPlanner.com
previewed the application during Oshkosh AirVenture 2011 last
July.
iFlightPlanner for iPad is part of a comprehensive flight
planning solution which enables pilots to plan their flights
independent of where they are and what device they are using
– bringing the aviation community one step closer to
realizing full cockpit integration.
With one touch, iFlightPlanner for iPad enables pilots to not
only plan their flights but to seamlessly sync all data from their
iFlightPlanner.com account. This integrated approach provides
pilots the ability to efficiently plan flights from their home
desktop, laptop or any web browser and instantly access flight
information from 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. After landing, iFlightPlanner for iPad allows pilots to
electronically close their flight plans and automatically log their
flight details into their iFlightPlanner.com logbook.
"We are very excited about iFlightPlanner for iPad and it's
integration with iFlightPlanner.com,” commented Andy
Matthews, co-founder and director of business development,
iFlightPlanner.com. “Sennheiser Aviation has allowed us
to create a unique flight planning environment that will give
pilots unprecedented access to our intuitive suite of flight
planning tools, enabling them to plan more efficiently and fly
safer."
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.
