The Route Instrument shows the waypoints of the created route. Depending which mode of the app is activated the information shown is different. You can toggle between modes by tapping on the padlock icon on the left upper corner.


Edit Mode

Route edit.PNG


  • When in edit mode a bar will be displayed at the top where you can search for points and add them to the route. You can add multiple points separated by a space bar.
  • You will see:
    • Number of legs and total distance and ETE depending on your aircraft cruise speed and wind.
    • Magnetic or True course (depending on your Settings) between legs and Heading if the wind has been refreshed from the Summary.
    • Distance between legs
    • ETE between points depending on your aircraft cruise speed and wind.
  • Tapping on the red icon next to the waypoint will let you remove a waypoint
  • Tapping on the waypoint name will center the point on the map
  • By tapping on the yellow "I" you will see the information of the waypoint and you can choose further actions.
  • Tapping on the three lines next to the points and dragging p or down will let you reorder the points
  • On iPad pressing on the yellow triangle on the right bottom corner will hide the second instrument and show only the route instrument on the left side.


Vertical Navigation

Tapping on the yellow number next to PLN will let you set a planned altitude for before or after reaching the waypoint. If there is an altitude change over the waypoint 2 numbers will be displayed separated by a slash (/) meaning before/after.

Flight Mode

Route flight.PNG


  • When not in edit mode the you will see:
    • In blue waypoints you've already overflown
    • In magenta the next selected waypoint
    • Distance from your current location to the upcoming waypoints
    • Bearing to the next waypoint from your current location
    • Planned overfly altitude. If there is a planned altitude change at this point it will be shown with a slash (/) meaning before/after.
    • ETA, ETE to next waypoint and ETE between upcoming waypoints taking in account your current groundspeed.
  • Tapping on the waypoint will let you select it as next waypoint and use it for the instruments.
  • By tapping on the yellow "I" you will see the information of the waypoint and you can choose further actions.


Summary

The Summary section will display the name of the route, departure and arrival airport, the number of legs, distance and ETA. When tapping on the Route a new menu will open with further options.


General

Date of Flight
caption
Set the date and time of departure for this route.
Pilot in command
Set the pilot flying this route.
Aircraft
Select the aircraft for the route. You can create a new aircraft profile by tapping on "+ New aircarft...".
Summary aircraft.jpg
Settings
This settings will apply mainly to the Operational Flightplan
Round flight time up
Always round times to the next minute
Account for climb/descent in time estimate
Adds time penalties during climbs and bonuses during descents
Show ETA and date
Prints date of flight and ETA on the operational flightplan
Corridor width
Set a corridor width for computing the MSA (Minimum Safe Altitude). The corridor will also be visible as a red area on the Elevation Graph.
Corridor width.jpg


If you set a corridor width of 3NM, Air Navigation Pro will look for the MSA on the area belonging to a corridor of 3NM along the route. Keep in mind, that Air Navigation Pro uses the MSA to calculate the TAS. A higher MSA will mean a higher TAS.

Route

caption
Name
By tapping on this field you will be able to change the name of the route.
Routing
Departure, Destination and number of legs.
Distance
Distance of the Route.
Cruise speed
Information taken from the aircraft profile.
Holding time
Define a holding time. The time you select will be stored for your destination. The next time you fly to this airport Air Navigation will remember how much you set as "holding time".
ETE
ETE calculated with information from the aircraft profile.
Alternate
Select an alternate airport for the route.
Dist. to altern.
Distance to alternate from last WP from route.
Endurance
Calculates endurance once the fuel on board is entered.

Fuel

caption
Fuel on Board
Enter the fuel on board of the aircraft.
Fuel flow
Information gathered from the aircraft profile.
Taxi time
Sets taxi time.
Taxi
Calculates taxi fuel.
Cruise
Calculates cruise fuel for route.
Alternate
Calculates fuel needed for leg DEST - ALTN.
Reserve time
Allows you to set a reserve time (By default 45 mins).
Reserve
Calculates fuel for reserve.
Fuel Required
Calculates fuel for the trip taking in account taxi, cruise, alternate and reserve time.
Contingency
Endurance (Fuel on Board) minus Fuel required.


Wind

caption

You can calculate the effect of current wind to your route. For the time being the wind calculates will be only the wind at ground level.

No wind
Don't take in account wind for the route.
Wind per leg
Downloads from the internet the current winds for your route legs. To push the service tap on the circled arrow at the bottom of this menu. This will take some seconds and the message "Last update: Never" will change to the current time.
Wind per route
Enter manually a direction and speed of the wind for the whole route.


caption
Remember that you must download the Free Elevation data in order to calculate the Wind per leg info.


Operational Flightplan

The route created can be converted to a flight log that can be printed out or sent by E-Mail.

Legs

Will display information about the legs of the Route. While flying, it will display the actual distance and bearing to next waypoint.


Pressing the "i" at the right of every WP will show information of the WP and the option to select it or center it on the map.



Sharing

By tapping on the yellow square with the arrow pointing up you will be able to share the created route. You can share the route via:

  • AirDrop
  • iOS Native apps ilke Message, Mail or Notes
  • Third party apps like Dropbox.
