What’s in the Ready Room
-
Plan & brief
Build a route from aerodromes, beacons, farm strips or your own airfields. The briefing pulls METARs, TAFs, SIGMETs, winds aloft and NOTAMs, and flags night, VFR limits and the semi-circular rule.
-
SA airspace map
TMAs, CTRs, ATZs, special rules areas, VFR routes and prohibited, restricted and danger areas drawn from the AIP, with frequencies and the airspace on your route at your level.
-
ICAO flight plan
Filled in from your route and aircraft, including speed and level changes, unlicensed fields as ZZZZ and the item 18 details.
-
Weight & balance
Set up your aircraft from 46 common types, then load people, baggage and fuel and see the CG against the envelope.
-
E6B computer
Wind triangle, crosswind, density altitude and unit conversions, with magnetic variation from the World Magnetic Model.
-
Air law search
Search the Civil Aviation Regulations, SA-CATS and the Acts by word or by number, stored on your device once opened.
Pilot Companion is a development prototype for planning and training. It is not approved for flight preparation or navigation: always use the official AIP, charts, NOTAMs and briefing services.
