iPhone Aviation Apps

I wasn't familiar with SkyCharts but I'll give it a look. Also, I have been following WingX for some time and downloaded that to give it a try, but to even experiment with the moving map functionality you had to pay the $99 app fee which I thought was a bit of a rip-off so I didn't do it.

Agree with the posts on Aeroweather, Skycharts, Pilot WIZ, IO360 and AOPA directory.  Very useful apps.  Some others to consider:

• 
  
• Radar Canada and Canada Radar - latter will show your GPS position
  
• Instrument suite from IAWARE - Useful in a loss of airspeed, attitude, altitude or gyro instruments?
  
• Air Navigation PRO - good VOR, HSI and ADF from Xample
  
• Decibel - How noisy is your plane?
  
• iVibrometer - keep tabs on vibration readings, may give you a warning if something is wearing out in your engine.
  

It is legal to use your iphone in the airplane in Canada, so a lot of useful applications for flying are available.  Some of these would be great on an iPad.  Check out http://aviatorapps.com/ for a whole lot of other apps.

Has anyone here took a look at the IFLY-700 its a gps that uses reg charts and has a 7''  screen, also has all of the low

level ifr charts and airport info upddates are $69.00 per year. The unit sell for $499.00 loaded with all the current

Charts. Might be worth looking at.
