iPhone apps for aviation

I like PilotFAR and PilotAIM (searchable FAR and AIM, respectively) - about $20 together. 

Also, LogTenLite is helpful to me as a CFI, although it's very mac intensive.  To export to Excel, for example (so I can transcribe it to my real logbook), the field names are off by one column (not a big deal) and the hours disappear - something to do with the comma delimited layout, I'm sure.

I like AeroWeather  for getting METARs and TAFs.

I also like Foreflight's AOPA Airports for looking up airport information.

I'd second Jesse's comments about AeroWeather for the iPhone. It's a great, tidy app with just the right amount of information at a tap and a glance. I'll keep a close eye on this discussion, as the iPhone is one of my favorite devices.

It's not stricly an iphone app, but the mobile version of weathermeister.com works quite well on the iphone and is very handy for weather.  Oh, and Fliware Airspeed is pretty cool too!

Fliware artificial horizon is also good... that and a big piece of chewing gum might save your life one day

This guy keeps a list of aviation apps updated on his blog

Edited to remove the entire list that I copied and pasted over... Brad (who keeps the list) changes it on a regular basis as products come and go, better that you click the link for the most up-to-date information.

wow- that's a bunch- love to hear from more of you as I am looking for the best as well- I use AeroWeather all the time.

I still have ADDS site as an icon though- Rand

Does anyone have any experience with Airbox Runway?  http://www.airboxaero.com/products/runway/

I am "this guy".... The one that maintains the list of iphone applications.  Please use the link to my site below to keep on the latest additions and revisions.  For example, a few changes have been made earlier today.

This thread was influential on my decision to get an iPhone last week and finally take a sledgehammer to the Palm Treo that has been slowly driving me insane. 

Very impressed so far.  AeroWeather is excellent, My Radar is useful, and I must put in a mention for the addictive game FlightControl, which is so good it can even make pilots think pleasant, appreciative thoughts about air traffic contollers. 

Not really a lot of help for real flying, but the X-Plane simulator now has an iPhone version.

Check it out at http://www.x-plane.com/iPhone/X-Plane/iPhone_X-Plane.html  only $9.99

I am obviously biased (because I wrote it) but my favorite application is CoPilot:

CoPilot performs detailed flight planning calculations (cruise, climb, fuel, weight & balance, etc). The website has a short video that demonstrates how to plan a trip using CoPilot.

 If it was a .99 cent app, it would be great.  Overall, I was very disappointed in that applications ease of use and functionality.  Go buy yourself a steak instead of the app.

LiveATC.net has been a lot of fun to listen to KOSH on the iPhone.

I've been carrying my iPhone around the house all day listening to the North Tower.... I think my wife it getting a little annoyed by it.

LiveATC on the iphone - I knew this phone was a good buy. Lovin it!

I have an iPhone App of my own that just made it to the app store a few weeks ago:

iPlane Spotter

iTunes link: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=321038595&mt=8

Web site: http://www.bapapps.com/iPlaneSpotter/index.shtml 

I use ForeFlight Mobile. Might be the most expensive appever, but I find it very useful for flying.

 I also like skycharts, although foreflights charts has somenice features that skycharts does not it Doesn’t allow you to download thecharts, so you can use them when you don’t get cell service, and it doesn’t staybright on its own so you can see it.

 As for weather the free app from AccuWeather works great, Ilike that it can display hour to hour forecast  and show the wind in knots.

 I have a few others I play with as well but these are the onesI use almost every time I fly.

Hi Blake,

Yes!  I LOVE this app.  I downloaded it a couple of days before departing  for AirVenture 2009, and really enjoyed using it.  It's certainly got my stamp of approval.  Thanks for your effort on making this app and getting it into the AppStore.  It's nice to know what the source of this app is, and who made it.  NICE job!
