I just don’t see any value in spending that kind of subscription if you are not using it in the real world when you can spend it on things like Navigraph that will help out your entire sim experience. I don’t see what Foreflight gains you in the sim… Synthetic Vision? you have that with the G1000 + AC… Check lists? You can have those in FLTPLAN GO and other apps… Performance depending on the Aircraft you fly you can use POH Performance… also free real world apps that are great… Spending money on Navigraph gives you the benefit of updating the Sim to current Data and access to Jep charts and maps… Much of the Planning in VFR is well… “straight lines” you have your departure, your Set Heading point and then destination… that is why lot’s of pilots (especially in the US) will cancel IFR when they are are in VMC conditions since they can then just go direct and not have to be vectored or sent on a fixed arrival for IFR separation… I also understand the Stratus 1 and 2 work only with Fore-flight.It’s just that I don’t see what advantage Foreflight is going to give you… Seems like the Astro is not working with Android but is being updated to fix that. Agree other Tablet suggestions?Īlso what is best ADS-B receiver? Stratus 3, Levil Astro, Dynon Drx (no AHRA).

FltPlan Go is a part of FltPlan's comprehensive system that includes free, web-based flight planning and filing and a full range of premium services. Games or watching movies, better sound sound, big screen, Pen and keyboard the S4 and S6 with all the bells and whistles is the way to go. There no reason to get a S4 or S6 which starts to get near iPad prices. or the S2, even though it is out of production! Good for them. If you want it also for entertainment you might want more tablet.ĮDIT: I had an online chat with Samsung. I don't know how demanding the flight planning and inflight software is. The current crop in order: Tab A, Tab S5e, Tab 4 and Tab 6. What Samsung Tablet is required and which one do you all recommend. I recently wrote a mission specific iOS flight calculator for our program, called the E6BVD, and have been thinking about working on a full EFB in my spare time, if I had any. Any other free one that meets your requirements - iOS and Android Neither of them are free, but there are quite a few that are that could also work well depending on what your requirements are.ģ. I do have a Garmin Pilot subscription (benefit of managing our pilot tech) I test right along side FF (benefit of managing our pilot tech) and I don't think you can go wrong either way. I also have 4 iPad mini 5's running ForeFlight only (they are locked down so that when you turn them on they boot directly to ForeFlight and that's all), that I have configured to access our onboard internet (hard wired) to afford us near real time internet based weather in flight, which also works amazingly well. I manage a couple dozen iPad mini 5's running ForeFlight in our flight program and they work fantastically. Garmin Pilot has come a long way and has features that IMO are better than ForeFlight.and works on Android too!
