Terrible
Crashes all the time and is difficult to use.
A MUST have For Any Avidyne IFD5xx or 4xx User
If that’s you, you simply MUST work with this app and your CFII before trying anything in the airplane. You’ll save so much time.
Doesn’t work
I can’t get it to start. It says “no database”. I down load databases and try again, it still says “no databases”
Needs updating
There is no altitude control when running app on a Mac which renders the simulator useless.
Nice idea, won’t climb
I have tried to get this trainer to track the autopilot and fly an altitude. You can have it fly a heading and altitude but you can’t have it track the flight plan and set an altitude. Instructions says to set altitude to cross a waypoint, tried it.. just flys at 20 feet and tells you to pull up and it still won’t track the FMS. Good for practicing frequency changes.
A disappointment
Where is the PC version?
Frustrating
Can’t fly lesson in Bauer’s book with a standard departure even though I followed each step. Would have been nice to save time/money working through scenarios on ground but too frustrating to bother using. While I like the 540 much better than my 530 the trainer app for my GNS was waaay better than this.
- Added small changes that were made to 10.3. - Improvements to Jeppesen integration.
