The Best FREE App For Pilots!!!

[@rvrnnr987]

At first I'm like... but then I'm like, "Hey, this is pretty good!" I'm getting back into flying after a long break, and trying to keep things affordable, so coming across a free EFB is amazing, and your video is a well done introduction.

[@HoosierPilot]

Hey I really appreciate it! There’s definitely nothing cheap about aviation, but any tips and tricks Ive learned to save money I want to pass along to hopefully help the next person.

[@AmericanPiddler]

Subbed & thanks for sharing!

[@HoosierPilot]

I love your channel. I just did a major remodel on my wife’s salon. It’s channels like yours that make it easy to figure out how to stuff on your own.

[@wingrider8770]

I’ve been using this for years, it’s great!

[@philvasquez4542]

Great APP! Thanks!

[@HoosierPilot]

No problem! It’s saved me a lot of money. I would download ForeFlight if I got to fly a lot more.

I was a hardcore road warrior before the pandemic. I built a Stratux and used it with this and Avare to level up my planespotting hobby. I preferred this over Avare partly because in FPG you can overlay plates on top of the chart, leaving ADS-B traffic intact. That let me pull up the ILS approach plate for the active and anticipate the traffic that was coming into view. Avare will only show your position on a dedicated plate view and only if the plate is to scale and the GPS coordinates of the plate have been tagged. I spoke with the developer of Avare about it and he just flat out declined to implement the feature.

[@HoosierPilot]

Yeah I fly with a buy that has a stratux and it’s great! I love being able to use the approach plates overlayed like that.

[@rumingjiang69]

Very nice video. Thanks for sharing.

[@HoosierPilot]

Hey thanks. That really means a lot!

[@darkwing3147]

Thank you so much for the great review.. I'm definitely going to use this app

[@amharawitchesandwizard4459]

Hi ! Its Good to see free app to keep flying. affordable but i wounder, if any free app for europe ? As i can see only for US & Canada , Right ?

[@mattewalker_]

Love this!!!

[@HoosierPilot]

Bless you child.

[@cesarquintana9034]

I love this App. I been using it for a few years now. All good and FREE.

[@HoosierPilot]

Thanks. I agree. It definitely does everything I need it too for free.

[@MUCSpotter]

Very interesting Video !! Thanks a lot.

[@HoosierPilot]

Hey thanks! I’m trying to make sure that I post videos about things I found valuable in my flight training. I love aviation and hope that I can in some way help others pursue it.

[@timbacchus]

I am going to try this EFB I am only interested in Traffic when I fly my little 1958 Cessna 150.

[@HoosierPilot]

I love it. I can connect it to ADSB too .

[@GameKingFaiz]

Really informative video--thanks! Are there any important features from Foreflight missing in this app?

[@HoosierPilot]

One that I can think of is the collision avoidance feature on ForeFlight that highlights obstacles that are at your altitude. I’m sure there are more being that this one is free, but I think it’s more than adequate with a little extra planning. Now if you’re flying a lot I’d probably get ForeFlight.

[@pchantreau]

Looks very attractive. Is this approved as primary source of navigational information for VFR and IFR?

[@HoosierPilot]

Good question. VFR it would be no different than any other sectional. While I’m not a representative of FltPln Go or instrument rated I don’t believe it can be use independently for IFR.

[@HoosierPilot]

I believe it can be used to the same extent ForeFlight can be used. I would have to check with FltPlan Go to know for sure.

[@Rcfullscale]

It’s not available in my country. Any ideas?

[@HoosierPilot]

My best suggestion is to move.

[@daviddavis000]

Does not seem to be available in the UK. Pity

[@HoosierPilot]

That sucks man. I’ll have to research what options there are on that side of the pond.

[@edpaine7982]

Do these apps let you plan a flight simply from point A to point B? For example I want to take off from a small grass strip in my small town and fly to the lake house about 50 miles away, this being in a small amphibious UL. Is this app helpful?

[@HoosierPilot]

I believe as long as both locations have airport identifiers or way points you should be able to flight plan with it just fine.

[@Jigsdr99]

Do you have to have cellular data available while using this App?

[@HoosierPilot]

Great question. On the ground pretty well always. In the air depending on the location as long as I’m below 3k feet I generally do.

[@darkwing3147]

Does this app has synthetic vision also?

[@HoosierPilot]

I don’t believe it does. But it he’s a lot of great features for a free app.

[@motomagenta6790]

Why can’t I find it on my appstore?

[@HoosierPilot]

I’m not sure. I went to the App Store and found it. It says Flight Plan Go for iPhone in the App Store. It use to be compatible with android I don’t know if that’s changed or if there’s a separate app on android.

[@garyvanremortel5218]

Avare also.

[@jameswallace4500]

nice infro to now

[@HoosierPilot]

Thanks! This app helped me save money early in my flight training so I thought I’d help get the word out to anyone that it might help.

[@B787YV]

Shame doesn't work for Europe. Know a similar app for Europe?

[@HoosierPilot]

Unfortunately I do not. I’ll see what I can find though.

[@MrDIAMONDCOR]

It does not exist anymore

[@HoosierPilot]

What doesn’t exist anymore?
