FlightView is a revolutionary new Electronic Flight Information System (EFIS) for experimental and light sport aircraft. The FlightView app turns your iPad into a comprehensive flight display and touch-screen navigator, providing a full suite of modern flight and engine instruments, VFR navigation tools, and situational awareness. Please Note: The FlightView app works with the FlightView line of hardware components from Falken Avionics. You can test out FlightView without a FlightBox, but the hardware is required to operate an aircraft.

Low cost, functional VFR flight system
Getting better with every update. Have had the system for almost a year and used it for trips from Iowa to Nashville, North Carolina, and Colorado twice with no issues. It is a good, easy to use VFR system. Ken Woodraska
Good but still needs work
Getting better with every update. Steve addresses technical issues promptly, but not too fast on promised content. The guide tells you AWOS frequencies are shown in the comm menu and the briefing bar. They are not and I have repeatedly asked him to add them to the database. Every app aviation database I have ever seen includes AWOS. He ignores me on this issue, won’t even give me a reason. Otherwise it is a good easy to use VFR system. Ken Woodraska
Best Value out there!
I’ve been a FlightView user for over a year now and have really been impressed with all the features. When I bought the FlightBox system I knew that I was an early beta tester and was expecting some growing pains. There were fewer issues than expected and Steve always responded quickly with fixes. Now that he has officially released to the App Store I’m looking forward to future feature enhancements.
This version is a maintenance release and includes a number of bug fixes, most critically a fix for an application crash which occurs during launch on iPadOS 17.4.
