Greetings fellow Aviators!
I know there's not much room in a Pietenpol panel and a lot of folks add iOS devices
to their electronic flight bag or lap board, I thought these apps might be of
interest
to you vintage aviators! Of particular interest might be Runway Finder (to find
grass strips away from home), and VOR Navigator just because, what Piet has a
VOR and ADF for old fashioned navigating?
Our family of apps for aviation has grown into 11 very handy and unique tools for
people who fly
(or dream about it!). Here's a brief list of the Apps with links to the App Store
for more information
and a sampling of screen shots to see the apps in action.
The latest App is Runway Finder. This app was suggested by a buddy, a retired
Delta Captain who owns a Citabria.
He does a lot of cross country flying and complained that it was hard to find a
grass strip to use away from home base.
This App maps out airports by runway surface and type (Turf, Paved, Gravel, Water,
Glider, and Heliport).
Runway Finder has a built-in list of over 50,000 runways/airports world wide. It
is available on the Apple App store at:
https://apps.apple.com/app/airport-runway-finder/id1471923024
Plane Registry. A FREE app to lookup US-Registered aircraft from the live FAA database.
https://apps.apple.com/app/airport-runway-finder/id1471923024
Local METARS. A very handy weather app for local conditions. Just open the App
and it will display
the current METAR conditions at the closest reporting station. You get the option
to look out up to
100 miles and sort by bearing from your location. No more scrolling and endless
clicking to get the
Wx you need for local flying. This app works with world wide reporting stations.
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/local-metars/id1150644548
We also have a stand-alone version of Local METARS for the Apple Watch
https://apps.apple.com/app/local-metars-for-watch/id1447757207
Civil Twilight Calculator. CTC is a self-contained sunrise/sunset calculator for
use anywhere.
No calling home to the Naval Observatory! It doesnt need internet access at all.
Use it in
flight! It can tell you accurately when Civil Twilight occurs where you are, or
at an airport
around the world, on any day 50 years. If you do have internet, you can give it
a street
address and see the calculated times.
https://apps.apple.com/app/civil-twilight-calculator/id1163850946
We also have a stand-alone version for Apple Watch:
https://apps.apple.com/app/civil-twilight-for-watch/id1448137376
Aviation Altimeter (aka avAltimeter). Not a GPS altimeter like most on the App
Store, but a True
and Accurate barometric altimeter using the built-in sensors in iPhones after iPhone
6, or iPads
after the Mini-4. Has a Kollsman adjustment for ATC or METARs reports. Looks and
feels just like
the steam gauge in your panel, but with Smart features: Density Altitude, Oxygen
Warning timer,
and estimated aircraft Performance, auto-set at airport, etc.
https://apps.apple.com/app/avaltimeter/id1120306812
The stand-alone version for the Apple Watch:
https://apps.apple.com/app/aviation-altimeter-for-watch/id1434085253
VOR Navigator. Truly unique! A fully functional VOR and HSI navigator (using GPS,
not VHF). Includes
all current VOR and NDB transmitting stations plus a number of recently decommissioned
ones. Also
includes DME and ADF modes. The App will also home to all Large and Medium (Commercial)
airports.
Check out the Add Lightning mode for the ADF for a true vintage experience! This
is a single hybrid
App, which works on both iOS devices and the Apple Watch, each independently from
the other.
https://apps.apple.com/app/vor-navigator/id1451733763
Crosswinds Live. Another very unique and handy App. Crosswinds Live contains the
runway diagrams for
all registered airports world wide and will draw the current wind across the runways.
The wind information
comes from the METAR station closest to the airport. Also computes the headwind
& crosswind components
for flight planning.
https://apps.apple.com/app/crosswinds-live/id1240254020
Sun Compass. Compass broken? Lost on a hike? If you can see the Sun or the Moon,
this app for Apple Watch
can help you out. The Watch does not have a compass built in, but, using the GPS
and some fancy astronomy
calculations, this App will point to North, and show you your direction of travel.
For Watch only (iOS has builtin
magnetic compass hardware)
https://apps.apple.com/app/sun-compass-for-watch/id1448262474
Safe Flying!

Afraid you are correct.
At present, Aviametrix, LLC is a strictly iOS and Apple Watch shop.
Yes, I am aware of the size of the android market, but for exactly the same reason
that Austin Meyer of Laminar Research (X-Plane and Xavion) avoids it:
1) Patent trolls inhabit the Play Store but not Apple Store leading to frivolous
lawsuits
but also
2) Great variability in sensor hardware between devices in Android world
3) Small development shop here with limited resources to create fine-tuned
software for multiple operating systems and hardware platforms in different
programming languages not less.
If things change, we will announce it. Enjoy your Piet!
