This is the single best app Ive purchased. I have this and foreflight and I feel I wasted my money on foreflight. I use air nav standard as a backup fore the vfr instruments and find it comforting to be able to move plane to plane and still have something familiar to back me up. Well worth the money

Description
Welcome to Air Navigation !
Air Navigation is a flight information system. Using the GPS receiver and accelerometers of the iPhone it can emulate different type of real IFR or VFR aircraft navigation devices.
Instruments are fullscreen and have a dark background (map can be switched to light for day operation) for easy readability in the cockpit during day or night operation.
It contains a database of basically most navaid and main airfields in the world. The database is embedded and you can use it offline without an Internet connexion.
The waypoint editor allows you to add your own custom airfields, navaids or waypoints to the database.
The pilot or copilot can also register the flight with block time and true flight time in the basic log book.
FEATURES
- a Synthetic moving map displaying nearby navigation waypoints and airfields. Zoom in and out with 2 finger gestures. Pan, center, switch between day and night mode.
Airfields are displayed with the direction of the main runway. A "direct to waypoint" function draws a red vector on the map (great circle / shortest path on earth).
- an HSI emulated using the iPhone GPS. Can select any waypoint from the embedded database including airfields, NDBs, your custom waypoints, etc.
- 2 VOR-DME emulated using the iPhone GPS and their related CDIs (Course Deviation Indicator). Unlike a real VOR, you can select any waypoint from the embedded database including airfields, NDBs, your custom waypoints, etc. Furthermore you dont loose signal when the VOR is hidden behind a mountain or flying too low.
- an ADF emulated using the iPhone GPS (ADF works only when moving at 10 kts or faster)
- a Gyro compass emulated using the iPhone GPS (Compass works only when moving at 10 kts or faster)
- An altimeter in feet or meters, emulated using the GPS altitude
- Slip indicators in every instrument view using the iPhone accelerometers
- A waypoint editor the enter your custom navigation points, airfields, navaids, fix and related information
- A basic logbook to store flights time with block-off, take-off, landing, block-on and computation of total time and true flight time
- An embedded worldwide database with several thousands navigation waypoints and airfields. Database includes frequency and channels for most waypoints
- Customizable cockpit
- Customizable speed & distance units
- Slipball calibration
REQUIREMENTS & DISCLAIMER
A GPS enabled device is required to use navigation modules. Using Air Navigation on iPods may require an external GPS module. Using Air Navigation with "Airplane mode" turned on, may require an external GPS module.
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
Please note that this software is not intended to replace a certified navigation device. You should always use official aeronautical documentation when preparing and performing a flight. You should always use certified navigation devices when performing a flight.
Dont forget to have a look on Air Navigation Pro. It has all the features of Air Navigation Standard plus multileg navigation flight plan editor. Navigation plans are displayable in the map as vectors and distance, bearing and estimated time to next waypoint is computed. Airnav Pro can download official aeronautical maps to be used in the moving map module.

Awesome!
Faulty, useless and inaccurate
The instruments such as HSI are too big for the window in which hey appear and are truncated, making them totally useless. Furthermore, the maps are not FAA sectionals, but rather highway maps over which have been superimposed random and inaccurate bits of aviation data. Do not be misled by the screen shots.
Amazing !!!!
Great app. Priced perfectly. I fly helicopter EMS and this works perfectly every time. Measures up to the aircraft Garmin in every way.
Multiple issues-non existent product support
Once you pay company goes completely offline. Certain features function well. Other features, such as bridge to flight simulators, not at all. Gave company benefit of the doubt, but two emails and product support request unanswered after one month. How do you spell Foreflight?
EXTREMELY useful!
Looking for an app to turn your iPhone into a slick little aero GPS? Why would you NOT buy this app?? I bought a $15 suction cup mount for my C-150, and a cigarette lighter adapter for my iPhone. Good to go. Granted, no weather, but for 11 bucks (and NO subscription) you just cant go wrong here.
Never Updated, Cluttered, & Dangerous
This could have been a great nav app for private pilots who just need a cheap & simple point-A to point-B solution rather than a $75/year EFB suite like ForeFlight, however this particular program falls to pieces when you take into account for the fact that its developers dont keep the maps or anything else up to date. Numerous windmills and other obstacles built within the last couple of years do not show up on the map. Airports that have been restructured with new taxiways or runways arent depicted accurately. As any experienced pilot would know, sectional charts and field operations procedures change over time and is why the FAA issues new charts at least twice every year. I also dislike how cluttered and haphazardly complex airspaces are depicted. If youre a Chicago area pilot and have tried using this app with airspace name tags activated, you may know what Im talking about. Im confident this would be an okay app for basic flying, but until the developers keep up with sectional chart & AF/D updates, and clean up the maps/interface a bit, this program is worthless (if not extremely dangerous to use).
This is a great GPS!
I really like the runway orientations on the moving map. This app does a lot of things very well.
