FlightPrep has released iChart for the iPad, an app that allows pilots to turn their Apple iPads into Electronic Flight Bags (EFB), giving them access to Sectionals, Terminal Area Charts (TACs), Low Enroutes, and Approach Plates.
iChart gives pilots an easy and straight-forward chart management solution for the cockpit, according to company officials. By placing airport information, navigation charts, approach plates, airport diagrams, and more, right at the pilot’s figure tips, iChart can increase situational awareness without increase the pilot’s workload during flight.
Available in the Apple iTunes App store as a free download, iChart comes with a 30-day trial subscription. An annual subscription service of $49.99 is required to keep the navigation data up-to-date after the trial period. Current Full US-CONUS VFR+IFR subscribers can use their existing subscription with the iChart application at no additional charge.
