Pilot's Companion

** This app requires a device capable of showing the app menu **

This application was inspired by the information and situations I faced during my education as a commercial pilot. I hope you can find it as useful as I wish I had it back then.

Some general and theoretical aviation knowledge is required, which I hope will encourage you to keep learning.

One of the purposes of this app is to make some tedious work as automated as possible, so please drop me a line if you miss any features.

Features:

- Learn how to visualize the Holding pattern in your HSI and tell immediately what kind of entry applies

- Learn how to quickly calculate the wind components in your HSI

- Learn how to calculate a heading to a point defined by a VOR (point-to-point navigation) in your HSI

- Get latest METAR/TAF and NOTAMS using ICAO codes

- Export the NOTAMS as txt in your SD card for later use

- Calculate time and distance to the PSR (point of safe return)

- Make and store ICAO flight plans. Export them as PDF in your SD card ready to be printed or sent to any aeronautical office

- Filling guide for all flight plan items

- Calculate the aerodrome pressure altitude, ISA deviation and environmental lapse rate by entering the QNH, temperature and aerodrome elevation

- Use millibars, inches of mercury, degrees centigrade or Fahrenheit (aerodrome pressure altitude)

- NEW! Mass and Balance (Beta)

- Save an unlimited number of Mass and Balance sheets

- Save an unlimited number of Mass and Balance graphs

- Export to PDF all Mass and Balance data to PDF (including calculations and graph)
