"fDeck is an incredible training tool. I use it to practice radio navigation and intercepting VOR radials before my real flight lessons. It has saved me a fortune in instruction time, and the graphical quality is absolutely top-notch."

"The X-Plane connector is flawless. I love having my flight instruments on a separate screen right next to my controls. It’s the most realistic flight deck app I've used, and the live METAR reports are perfect for pre-flight planning."

About the app

Everything you need to know about fDeck: flight instruments.

Description

fDeck is an aircraft flight deck in your pocket that provides real-world functionality to a suite of full-featured, graphically beautiful flight instruments for your mobile device. It allows you to virtually tune any radio aid from a worldwide aviation database, or create your own 'virtual' radio aids whever you want to practice radio navigation. Use the app as a training aid, or use it as a set of complimentary flight instruments when flying. In addition to the beautiful flight deck instruments, fDeck also has a built-in aviation moving map that shows your location as well as relevant airspace, airports, navigation data and real-time weather and ADS-B based traffic information.. You can move your location on the map to reposition your virtual aircraft and the flight instruments will reflect this new location. This allows you to use fDeck as a radio navigation trainer - you can see in real-time what the VOR, HSI or NDB will look like at your new location! The following instruments are currently available in the app: • Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) • VHF Omnidirectional Range Receiver (VOR) • Automatic Direction Finder (ADF) • Artificial Horizon • Groundspeed Indicator • Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) • Aircraft Compass, with functioning heading bug • Altimeter - with functioning barometric pressure adjustments • Chronometer with fuel totaliser • Flight Planner • Weather and Wind - display live weather and wind information including live TAF & METAR reports If you use the X-Plane flight simulator you can even drive the flight instruments straight from X-Plane! Key features: • Instruments are proudly graphically accurate with ultra smooth animations • Live weather and ADS-B based traffic data with a built-in Traffic Avoidance (TCAS) system • Go full-screen to focus on a single instrument, or use multiple of the same type • Tune each instrument slot to a different radio station • Simulate flight by panning your location on the map - use the app as a radio aids trainer! • Worldwide aviation database containing over 20k airports and radio navigation aids, updated monthly • Fully searchable navigation database, filterable by type • Map view with aviation overlays showing location and tuned radio stations • Each instrument has an associated video tutorial • Add your own navaids - want to practice VOR radial tracking on your house - now you can! • Supports tablets and phones and both portrait and landscape orientations This app has taken years of work by the developer, who provides it free for your use. The app does have in-app ads.  By becoming an fDeck Premium member via an in-app subscription or one-time purchase you can remove all in-app ads, remove the 5 user station limitation, access monthly navigation database updates, display map weather overlays, live virtual weather radar, live TAF & METAR reports, live ADS-B Traffic and TCAS system and finally - obtain unlimited access to the X-Plane connector. If you have any issues, please consider contacting me directly instead of giving a negative rating - most times your issues can be solved or answered. A rating will not get your app to work or a new feature added, but an email might - simply use the integrated "Contact the developer" function on the app settings page.
