Flight Training Apps to Release App For the Oral Portion of the Private Pilot Checkride

 

Flight Training Apps www.flighttrainingapps.com is currently working on the companion App to the Private Pilot Flight Portion. The App will be released around June 2013 and features a realistic enactment of a Private Pilot Ground Portion Practical Test, providing student pilots with the knowledge required to pass the oral portion of the Private Pilot Practical Test. The simulated oral is conducted by Dave Leonard, designated pilot examiner and student for a realistic look into the often unknown world of the private pilot oral. Flight Training Apps has enjoyed an enthusiastic response to its Private Pilot Flight Portion App and expects the same for the soon to be released Ground Portion App. 
 
Also in the works is a KAP 140 autopilot App and Garmin GTN 650/750 App to compliment the current Garmin 430/530 Apps. Since its inception, 2 years ago Flight training Apps has generated over 30,000 downloads of its products for the iPhone and iPad. By mid 2013, all products will be available for Android devices as well.
