Pilot's Companion - Basic

पायलट के साथी - मूल

** 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:

- Lear 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

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

- 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)
