Like This??
Jim,
You mean like this?? I was very fortunate to be able to tag along with Herb when he went to Dayton. Oh, and we had the "Glass Cockpit" in place, as we were cruising along, with a good tail wind. Another useful tool. I had my iPhone, Herb had his, and we both had iPads. In addition to all the technology that Herb has permanently attached to 2JF.

OK - You got me! Having read your reply, I went right out an got the flight instrument package. I'll have to see what it does in the airplane.
Have you purchased the foreflight upgrade? I haven't, but we ordered Jenny's iPad 2 on opening day and will probably put the advanced foreflight on hers... She always gets the good stuff :-)

Flight Instrument Page
Dear Sirs,
I am correct in understanding that there is now available a working EFIS style Attitude Indicator to program to run on the I-Pad/I-Phone? If so, please post a link as this is something that I have been hoping would become available. Back ups for back ups. Many thanks in advance. James T Grant 336-0145 N3845U

Yes Sir
Mr. Grant, Sir. The application was developed by a company called BBflight. http://www.bbflight.com/ It will run on the iPhone, and may run on the iPad. Their documentation says that it needs a gyroscope, which is present in the iPhone 4, and the iPad 2. I have an iPad 1, so I have not tried it.
It does have an available database, of North America. The app is $4.99, the NA database is $2.99. One shortcoming I see with it is that it only gives you the option of selecting "nearby" airports. However, in an emergency, that's what you most want to see. It is remarkably sensitive. You would want some sort of windshield mount, to reduce the vibration, and hold it in a stable attitude in the aircraft. Holding it in your hand makes it difficult to accurately determine your attitude. I have flown in Herb's Skymaster with it, and in my neighbor's Aeronca, and it works very well. I will add that I had the application called iHUD, and it does not work.

Additional Information about Flight Instrument
I came across this page on the BBflight website, and wanted to point it out.
http://www.bbflight.com/home/FlightI...sked-questions It says that you can use the application on an iPad.
