fDeck: flight instruments Description
fDeck is an aircraft flight deck in your pocket that provides real-world functionality to a suite of full-featured, graphically beautiful flight instruments for your mobile device. It allows you to virtually tune any radio aid from a worldwide aviation database, or create your own 'virtual' radio aids whever you want to practice radio navigation. Use the app as a training aid, or use it as a set of complimentary flight instruments when flying.
In addition to the beautiful flight deck instruments, fDeck also has a built-in aviation moving map that shows your location as well as relevant airspace, airport and navigation data. You can move your location on the map to reposition your virtual aircraft and the flight instruments will reflect this new location. This allows you to use fDeck as a radio navigation trainer - you can see in real-time what the VOR, HSI or NDB will look like at your new location!
The following instruments are currently available in the app:
★ Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI)
★ VHF Omnidirectional Range Receiver (VOR)
★ Automatic Direction Finder (ADF)
★ Artificial Horizon
★ Groundspeed Indicator
★ Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI)
★ Aircraft Compass, with functioning heading bug
★ Altimeter - with functioning pressure adjustments
★ Chronometer - with fuel totaliser
★ Weather and Wind - live weather/ wind information
If you use the X-Plane flight simulator you can even drive the flight instruments straight from X-Plane itself!

Devices should be fitted with the following accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer and barometer sensors. The app will function with reduced functionality if not all sensors are present.
