FltPlan Go for iPhone

I have used Garmin Pilot, ForeFlight, FlyQ, all which are excellent, but so is FltPlan Go. It has all the features that the basic subscriptions to the others have, all of which charge more for the eye candy, such as synthetic vision and AHRS (although it does have an instrument panel feature). FltPlan even has geo-referenced charts, approach plates and taxi diagrams that others charge extra for. Works with the widest range of ADS-B in devices, unlike ForeFlight which only works with Stratus and Stratux, and Garmin Pilot which prefers Garmin devices. FlyQ also works with a large variety of devices. The menu structure takes some getting used to, but that’s true for every app. Not as pretty or slick as the other premium apps, but has everything you need to navigate safely. And FREE, but recently purchased by Garmin, so who knows how long the product will remain free. A must-have app with good product support. I have it on all my devices, mostly as a backup, but I try to use it occasionally so I don’t forget how things work. My favorite EFB is ForeFlight, but that is Apple iOS only with only Stratus and Stratux (excellent).

To be very honest free is not always the best way to go. As I have been using all three flight plan apps this is a great way to get it all and save. It’s not some cheesy app selling you all kinds of stuff on the side. It really is doing what it was to designed to do and that is guide you safely to your destination. Now that Garmin Pilot has acquired this it can only get more interpreted for the long and best. Thank you fltplan go.

Don’t waste your time downloading this app it’s full of quirks that are annoying at dashed off then frustrating Upon starting the app it pre-loads a random sample flight plan that has nothing to do with what you’re trying to accomplish The sample plan has to be deleted and you have to reenter your own flight plan every time you start the app. Even after deleting the sample plan on the website and preloading and saving your own this application continues to preload the sample flight plan regardless of how many times you delete it. Additionally although the application does have an option to show extended runway central lines it does not show which runway the extended centerline is for other apps like Garman Foreflight and WingX and Aerovie all show the runway numbers this app does not so you’re still left trying to figure out where to lineup.
