Digital Aviation has released the Radio Navigation Simulator ‘Student’ edition-Instrument Navigation Trainer for Pilots, for iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, which includes instrument panels suited to the requirements of student pilots at the beginning of their IFR training.
The new app is based on the Radio Navigation Simulator Pro app, which includes additional advanced HSI & RMI (dual needle) instruments.
Radio Navigation Simulator “Student” is a 2D flight simulator and training aid that enables students and pilots to practice, understand, and become proficient in the use and management of VOR, DME and ADF instruments, and radios, all displayed with a Directional Gyro on a realistic flight panel, company officials said.
For students, it’s easy to zoom-in, either to a single beacon, or a set of beacons, drag the airplane around to different locations, and watch the needles react. When ready, choose to fly a prepared exercise, or your own routes, in a flight area of approximately 200 x 150 nms, populated with more than 40 navaid facilities. Printable latitude and longitude area charts are free to download.
