Description
AirTrack integrates with multiple data sources in order to report flight and navigation data wirelessly and in real time. Designed to be used with a Flight Simulator, with the aid of a plugin this application allows you to track your virtual flights in real-time in the palm of your hand, as well as to remotely control your simulated flights.
You no longer need to stay glued to the computer in order to know if you're still flying at 39,000 feet, if you're still heading to the right waypoint, how long you've got left or what the weather is going to be like at your destination airport; you can now relax and do it in the garden or anywhere within WiFi reach really and control your flight with your thumb.
But if this isn't enough, AirTrack can also use your device's built-in GPS, Accelerometer and Gyro to determine your current movements and attitude and the Internet to download real weather to simulate an aircraft's sensors.
Turn your car trip into a flight experience by getting information about your instant position, heading and surrounding waypoints. See yourself in an EFIS style navigation display / primary flight display or plan your multi-leg trip with the built in route planner FMC which gives you real-time information about your waypoints, how far they are and how long it will take you to reach them.
With its built-in database of FIX, VOR, NDB and Airports, AirTrack can also be used as a flight companion allowing you to plan and monitor your trip, target a VOR or even perform a full IFR approach without ever needing to look at the screen.
The AirTrack features include:
- A full Primary Flight Display with speed, altitude, vertical speed, barometric pressure
- Also in the PFD, compass, AI with roll/pitch, auto-pilot status and settings.
- Instant GS, IAS, MACH, TAS and VS when available.

What EFIS-App should have been
Brilliant! This is the best app for building a home sim with X-Plane!
It's more difficult to fall off a chair than to connect this app with the X-Plane flight sim.
Turn on computer, load X-Plane. Turn on idevice, load AirTrack.
Fly!!!

Awesome App for Sim Builders
If you have an iPod, iPhone or iPad and are a sim builder this is money well spent! Instant panel / FMC

1st Class Support
First of all, let’s talk about support. I had an issue where I have both an iPad and iPhone; when I updated the iPhone the iPad wouldn’t update. I contacted support with this issue and immediately received a pompt and courteous response with a genuine apology. Next a solution to my problem was quick to follow.
Now about the app; it does exactly what the developer says it does. I haven’t used it enough to find any bugs yet. I have used it in the air and found the accuracy to be fairly good. It did take me to my destination airport and the database did have accurate information to my home airport. (Funny thing, after I updated the database through a separate service, there were errors in the data. However, you can post requests to a forum to have corrections made or appended.) A word of warning, do not use as a primary navigation device.
I did find the interface fairly intuitive and easy to use.
My wish list for this program is to see it ported to Microsoft’s Flight Sim X and updates to the GPS portion of the program to improve accuracy, response and functionality for actual flight ( to be able to use it as a backup device).
Overall, I think this app has great potential. Keep the development and improvements coming.
