United StatesFlightWinds helps you assure your are taking off and landing within your aircraft-specific, or personal wind limitations. FlightWinds calculates crosswind, tailwind and headwind components for takeoff and landing and displays them in a user-friendly way. Features -Dual runway display. -Easy to use -Intuitive user interface. -Warns you if you exceed your custom-defined wind limitations. -Universal app. Created by a Gold Seal FAA Flight Instructor and Airline pilot specifically for use by pilots during preflight and pre-landing preparation.
Great Display, Scales should be recalibrated
The wind speed bar goes from 0 to 100kts. This is so unnecessary. Nobody is out trying to figure out crosswinds in a hurricane. 99% of the time, you’re in the bottom 20% of the scale, and it’s terribly sensitive. There’s a reason the scale on oral thermometers only go from 94-108 instead of 0-110.
United StatesNot worth the money.
This app has not been updated in years. The basic functionality is there, but it has not even been updated to fit the larger iPhone screen size. Don’t waste your money on this.
United StatesToo limiting and inaccurate
Winds are generally given in 10 degree increments. The app clicks off one degree at a time. The default should be 10 degrees (with option to tighten it to 5 or 1 degree increments). When I put in runway 26 and winds of 260 at 20 knots, the app calculated both a headwind and a tailwind component,With the tail and component exceeding my 10 knot limitation. This is not possible. Also, some limitations (like tailwind)Including gust limitation. I can see no way to input a guest in the app.
United StatesPretty good
Like to see clearer, larger display. Still no X or 11 support. Not an active developer. Also, It kills audio when launched. No clue why. Sloppy coding?
United StatesSimple and easy to use.
I’ve been using this app for several years with no problems. Very intuitive . I frequently use it in China, where wind speeds are reported in MPS. I wish it had a provision for converting meters per second to knots.
United StatesCool app, easy to use
Easy to use in the cockpit. Intuitive controls. Would love to see gust factor added.
United StatesFew or no instructions
This app has pretty good graphics but zero instructions. Abour 15 minutes after download, I deleted the app from my iPad
