Please excuse the lack of updates, but I put a lot of time into the site in the month of April and I’ve been playing catch-up with several other projects. I’m currently working on a list update which should be posted in a few days, but in the meantime here are a few news worthy items.
Aviation Mentor, John Ewing, has posted several great articles about the iPad on his blog. John is quickly becoming an iPad-Aviation expert and has even produced videos about SkyCharts Pro and the iPad as an EFB.
With his books, CD-ROMs and most recently with his apps, Max has established himself as the zen master of the glass cockpit. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Max on a few occasions and his knowledge of all things GPS and Glass Cockpit related is nothing short of amazing, so when he wrote me to tell me about his new apps, I told him that I would gladly mention them here on the AviatorApps News Feed.
I have used his Garmin 430 app and I find it to be clear, concise, complete, easy to navigate and well documented with plenty graphics and screenshots for a visual thinker like me. Rather than me going on about them I thought it would be best if I let Max tell you about his apps in his own words, or shall I say his own voice.
The GPS Guide for the iPhone can be use as a Quick Reference Checklist, Illustrated Self-Study Learning Guide, or as a Refresher for Pilots and CFIs Using Many GPSs.
More than a paper GPS Checklist, the GPS Guides give detailed descriptions—not just a list of steps. They also include TIPS on the most efficient ways to use the GPS.
Each GPS guide gives clear, concise answers to your GPS questions without hunting through user manuals. Information is organization by function, so you can quickly find what you want.
