What is it?
Aviation software for Pocket PCs just got better! With frequency, runway, navigation,
and other information available for all public use airports in the United States,
Airport Insight provides a wealth of aviation information at your finger tips!
It is a great flight planning tool, and has been designed to be easy to use in
the cockpit as well for those unplanned diversions. Leveraging the high speed
processors available for Pocket PC PDAs, you can look up airport information
far faster than is possible with a traditional airport directory. Click on one
of the links below for more information!
What's the Frequency, Ken?
|
Looking for a ground frequency? How about the
frequency of the nearest air route traffic control center (ARTCC)? Or maybe
you forgot to jot down the clearance delivery frequency before leaving the
flight planning room? Airport Insight provides you with all the latest frequencies for your
airport of choice. What's more, since it requires less time to look up a frequency
than thumbing through an airport/facility directory or trying to find the ARTCC
frequency in the small table on the back of the sectional chart, it's safer. Less
heads-down time means more heads-up time looking for other traffic.

Where's the Runway?!?!
Runway List
|
Airport Insight also features complete runway information for all airports in
the database. The runway detail summary information quickly displays the
available runways and their size, allowing you to determine if there the
runway meets your takeoff or landing requirements. Many times, this information
alone will be enough to meet your needs but when it is not, tapping on the runway
name (with either the stylus or your finger) will display more detailed information
about that particular runway.
|
|
Detailed runway information includes the size, magnetic
alignment for both the base and reciprocal runway ends, surface type and
condition, weight restrictions, and runway obstruction remarks. If a particular
runway has a right hand traffic specified, that information will be shown as well.
For either left or right hand traffic, Airport Insight can even tell you how to
enter the pattern when you tap on the name of the runway you wish to use...

Traffic Pattern
|
After a long flight, even experienced pilots sometimes have to think twice
about how to enter the pattern for their chosen runway. Airport Insight
makes this incredibly easy by visually displaying the 45 degree entry, downwind,
base, and final leg headings of the pattern for the selected runway. Airport
Insight can also calculate headwind and crosswind components for any wind
that might exist. Many accidents which occur while landing occur when the
pilot choses the wrong runway and lands downwind or lands in a crosswind
which exceeds the capability of the aircraft or pilot - don't let this happen to you!
|
Runway Information is Fine, But Where's the Airport!?!
|
Airport Insight has a built-in navigation feature that can give you
direct headings to any airport in the database, and if you supply true
airspeed and wind information, it will even calculate your ground speed
and how long it will take you to get there! This is perfect for those
"what-if" scenarios as well as a sanity check against other flight planning
tools. The navigation calculator can work with airspeed supplied
in either knots or miles-per-hour, so it fits whatever you happen to be
flying!

NavAid Information
|
All nearby navigational aids such as VORs, VOR/DMEs, VORTACs,
and NDBs are available in a concise format that is easy to read while allowing
you to continue your #1 task: flying the airplane! It's also a great reference
for flight planning - the information is updated more frequently than VFR
sectional charts, giving you an extra margin of safety.
|
|
Navigating to the airport is one thing; visually confirming that it is the
correct airport is quite another. All kinds of pilots in all kinds of
aircraft, civilian and military alike, have made the mistake of landing at
the wrong airport. Airport Insight can diagram the runway layout of your
selected airport, making visual confirmation quick and easy. This visual
confirmation also helps you plan your entry into the airspace surrounding the
airport - another safety plus! Finally, if you are using a GPS or LORAN unit,
the geographic center of the airport is displayed with a star - this is helpful
in determining your exact distance from the airport.

Give it a Try!

There's much more that Airport Insight offers: Airport management and service
information, instrument landing systems, airspace information, etc. You can
even jot down quick notes about a specific airport using the built-in airport
memo feature! Probably the best way to experience Airport Insight is to
try our free demo - it will demonstrate the features and benefits of Airport Insight
much better than can a web page or glossy brochure!
