User Reviews
Seems like a good idea. More user friendly than using a PDF copy. The trip planning calculators don’t work, however. The trip time doesn’t sum properly (it just repeats the descent time value) therefore fuel calculation is based on the few minutes of descent time, not the whole trip. This is worthless and pointless.
There are significant changes in the FAA-8083-25C 2023 version. One of the value propositions for apps that wrap pdf content publicly available should not only be the features around the standard content (favorites, calculators, etc) but most importantly for the content to be up to date. Right now it’s like having an old book.
As a student pilot this book covers topics a ground school usually doesn’t. Very handy and helpful
The presentation is easy to understand.
It serves exactly what a digital version of the pHAC needs to be. Excellent app for the money and demand.
Don’t miss out. This is my number one reference for flight instruction.
Wish it had 2 features to get to 5⭐️: chapter numbers so I could reference other study guides easier, and dark mode for when reading at night!
Great information & free too. Thank you FAA.
This is helping me understand a lot as a student pilot. I can see myself coming back to this throughout my journey and hopefully one day career.
Best app!!!!! Easy to navigate
