HSI Explorer vs Instrument Procedures Handbook Usage & Stats

This highly effective training application was designed to provide a simple, yet immersive, experience in basic navigation instrument orientation from a STATIC perspective. Whether you are an aviation student of any level or an Instructor Pilot seeking to teach your students, this application can be a critical link to creating a comprehensive understanding of aircraft and navaid orientation, instrument readout interpretation, as well as a walk-through tool for instrument navigation procedures. This essential teaching tool is creatively centered around a typical aviation Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) along with a pictorial representation of the aircraft’s orientation to the navaid and course selections. On the HSI, any combination of navigational indicators to include both the Radio Magnetic Indicator (RMI) or Bearing Pointer (BP) and the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) commonly found in aviation can be selected. The pictorial map allows for hiding or showing the various orientation aspects as desired to validate an understanding of the aircraft’s position as well as wind effect. Additionally, the application integrates the powerful ability to annotate and mark-up both the HSI and map while learning and teaching the various concepts and orientations. Interfacing with the HSI is accomplished by utilizing either the easy-to-use dials or a digital keypad as per user preference. Airspeed can be toggled through several common airspeeds, by tapping on the airspeed indicator, enabling a thorough grasp of wind effect on heading and track.

Instrument Procedures Handbook

FAA's top source and “must read” for instrument-rated pilots. This new 2015 version (FAA-H-8083-16) supersedes the previous 2014 version (FAA-H-8261-16). It is designed as a technical reference for all pilots who operate under instrument flight rules (IFR). It expands and updates the information contained in the Instrument Flying Handbook and introduces advanced information for IFR operations. Using this app, pilots can more directly apply the concepts to their current flying situation, and learn how their acquired skills are best used in today’s IFR environment. Instrument flight instructors, instrument pilots, and instrument students will also find this handbook a valuable resource since it is used as a reference for the Airline Transport Pilot and Instrument Knowledge Tests and for the Practical Test Standards. It also provides detailed coverage of instrument charts and procedures including IFR takeoff, departure, en route, arrival, approach, and landing. Safety information covering relevant subjects such as runway incursion, land and hold short operations, controlled flight into terrain, and human factors issues also are included. The Instrument Procedures Handbook was intended primarily as a technical reference. It includes a specialized glossary, index, full-color illustrations and photographs flight you will find invaluable for operating under instrument flight rules. The Instrument Procedures Handbook App includes information on: + Departure Procedures + En Route Operations + Arrivals + Approaches + System Improvement Plans + Airborne Navigation Databases + Helicopter Instrument Procedures + Emergency Procedures + Acronym and Glossary Whether you are a seasoned professional or studying for your Instrument Rating, the Instrument Procedures Handbook App is sure to encourage more precise instrument techniques and ultimately create a safer pilot.
