Ten Popular Aviation Apps Used by Pilots and AvGeeks
The mobile expansion of real time information continues to increase as today’s pilot boards their aircraft with an electronic tablet loaded with the most useful navigation and weather apps — and may include a flight simulation game. Here are great apps that we love:
Ten: Instagram Yes, the social media site has taken off and is the top place to receive updates and media from aviation’s top military and civilian pilots or airshow teams. 2017 has seen a strong increase in the way military, commercial, and private pilots have put their in-flight short videos, images, and while including updated information.
Nine: My Radar Weather Radar is likely the most used live radar we’ve seen by pilots and airport personnel across the United States, Europe, and Japan. My Radar displays animated weather, and its pinch and swipe display allows app owners the ability to zoom in on a two mile stretch of weather.
The app uses your phone’s gyros and GPS to accurately pinpoint your location first with a blue dot. My Radar is free, however My Radar Pro is a small fee, and are available on both iTunes and Android devices.
Eight: Periscope Want to watch Live video from the flight line of your favorite airshow or airport? This free app offers the user the ability to tune in to live events in the air or on the ground based on your search preference. Both civilian and military sides of aviation are “scoping” the airfields providing live video feeds.
“Periscope gives us the ability to share activities that people may not otherwise see,” explained Skytypers and airshow spokesperson Brenda Little. “We have shared what an air show looks like from the announcer’s stand and quick interviews with the maintenance team or pilots prior to takeoff.”
Periscope can sync with your Twitter account to promote your broadcast at the same time you go Live.
