About Aircraft Cockpit
Description:
The Aircraft Cockpit app recreates the six main flight instruments (the six-pack) that you find in the majority of past and present airplanes: Speed Indicator, Attitude Indicator, Altimeter, Turn Coordinator, Heading Indicator and Vertical Speed Indicator.
DISCLAIMER:
This Aircraft Cockpit app is NOT certified or approved by the FAA or similar institution of your country. It is NOT intended nor suited for being a primary navigation aid. It is intended for educational and recreational purposes only. DO NOT rely on the accuracy of any of the instruments of this app. USE AT OWN RISK! See license agreement.
Mounting Instructions:
For the proper functioning of the instruments, it is very important to mount your Android tablet or phone in landscape orientation and exactly upright and facing the direction of travel! For more details please see the built-in User's Manual by pressing the menu button.
Please Note:
This app makes use of several of your phones internal sensors. It's functionality and quality depends on the existence and quality of these sensors. For optimal fuctionality the following sensors should be available:
- GPS
- Gyroscope
- Accelerometer
- Magnetic Field (Compass)
- Gravity
- Air Pressure (Barometer)
For some of the instruments, alternative sensors can be selected (for example the Altimeter can derive the current altitude either from the GPS or from the air pressure).
Try the demo version first BEFORE buying this app, to make sure your device has the necessary sensors.

The heading indicator does not work. Just a series of red dots rather than a readable scale. HTC One.

The app is great fun and the dev has done a good job of making the instruments look realistic. I'm looking forward to my next glider flight to see how the app stands up to real instruments. I really don't expect it to compete with hundreds of pounds worth of real aircraft instruments, but it will still be a great conversation piece in the car. One thing I was disappointed to find was that it is still not possible to reset the altimeter although the dev said in 2014 they would correct that on the next update. Now 17 months later, any idea when that might be? Would be worth the extra star.

Very nice so far. I can not use it though because the Attitude Indicator is not working at all on my Samsung S5 when I do not mix in gravity, even when gyros are calibrated. The whole idea is to know your attitude without taking acceleration (Gravity) into consideration. Acceleration causes spacial disorientation and the Ai is there to orientate yourself. The Altitude is wrong because I can not set the QNH (Sea level preassure). Nice display! Keep working, it will be so! cool if this idea can work!

Really like the idea, but attitude indicator doesn't seem to be able to read gyros on Nexus 4, same with compass and magnetometer.

Awesome. Excellent interface, and works very well, very accurate. Would love to see a keep screen alive feature, and the ability to calibrate pressure altimeter using sea level calibration.

I checked out the demo first and enjoyed it so much I had to buy it! I'm an aviation enthusiast and aircraft mechanic, so apps like this feed my inner nerd! Thank you! FYI: I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

So my rating is now five stars :-)
