FlightService Released for iPhone
FlightService (iTunes link) our latest application for iPhone/iPodTouch is now available on iTunes.
While definitely not for everyone, this app is a great help or reference for the Pilot or even Sim Pilot. It contains important information for over 13,000 airports and navigation aids.
Name, Frequency, Latitude/Longitude are all included for VORs and elevation and ATIS frequency is also included for airports. There is also an option to maintain a list of favorites for information that you plan on accessing frequently.
There are two features that set FlightService apart from other apps that provide a similar service:
- All the information is stored on your device. Unlike some programs, no Internet connection is required to access the information via a web service of other lookup.
- Our unique free-text search allows you to quickly find the information you are looking for whether searching by name, identifier or combination of both.
We’ve already received some requests to add runway/ILS frequency information and that will definitely be included in the next update.
