Air Navigation is designed for pilots and can be used for flight planning and navigation during flight.

To determine location, altitude and speed, Air Navigation uses built-in (or external) GPS module and gyroscopes.

Route planning can be done in a few seconds.

A large number of maps and aeronautical data are available for downloading and adding to the program. Full list free and commercial maps and other add-ons can be found on the website www.xample.ch in the “add on” section.

The program supports the following data types:

Air navigation points (more than 160,000)
- Description of air corridors (for more than 50 countries)
- Free cards(open maps from public sources)
- ICAO navigation charts and visual air navigation charts
- Call charts (check list of included countries)
- Free 3D digital terrain model support
- Aerial photographs and commercial digital models relief for visible relief synthesis functions and warning systems

REQUIREMENTS

For the navigation modules to function, you need an iPhone or iPad with GPS support. The built-in GPS is disabled if the airplane mode is active. It is possible to connect an external GPS.

Navigation tools become more accurate if more of the sky is in iPhone's direct line of sight (for example, if iPhone is positioned in the front of the cockpit). Primary capture GPS signal sometimes it takes up to 3 minutes.

This program cannot be used as a replacement for a certified navigation device. Always use official aeronautical documentation when preparing and executing a flight. Always use certified navigation systems when flying.

Keeping GPS on all the time (in the background) greatly reduces battery life.

iPhone, iPad and iPod touch Навигация!} 12/19/2014 5.7.4 127 MB Present Xample Sarl!} iOS 7.0 or later.

In this article I would like to summarize all the knowledge about Air app Navigation PRO, designed for route planning and navigation during a flight operated under visual flight rules (VFR), accumulated by me over 5 yearsits operation.

We would especially like to emphasize that the program is not intended to operate under instrument flight rules (IFR). Do not attempt to replace your aircraft's standard certified navigation aids with this application. Like any software Air Navigation PRO has flaws in the software code that sometimes cause the application to crash during flight and require a restart. Additionally, this app is not ICAO certified for instrument flight rules navigation.

The Air Navigation PRO application is available to users in a version for iPhone/iPad/Mac OS X, as well as in a version for Android.

Since I do not use Android devices, in this article I will only provide screenshots and descriptions Apple devices. Despite this, all interface elements and program settings under different operating systems are almost identical.

To use the program you must accept and agree to the following terms and conditions:

• Air Navigation software is not intended to replace certified navigation devices! The developers do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the information provided. The embedded database is provided for informational purposes only and may contain incomplete or even erroneous data.
• When preparing for a flight, the pilot must use official aeronautical documentation (AIP) and use certified navigation equipment during the flight.
• This software is provided “AS IS”, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied.
• The authors or data providers are not responsible for any damage resulting from the use of this software.
• USE THE AIR NAVIGATION SOFTWARE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
• The data provided may not be accurate.

Installing the application

To install the application on your tablet computer or smartphone, follow the link by clicking the button below. Choose yours operating system and install the Air Navigation PRO app on your device as usual.

Attention! The application is paid.

To install and run the application you will need a lot of space. Maps typically take up the majority of the memory space used by an application. Depending on how many cards you use, the amount of memory consumed by the application can increase significantly.

I use Air Navigation PRO for flights throughout Russia and a little bit of Europe, plus in addition to the maps I also have 3D terrain databases installed for almost all of Russia, as well as some European countries. Therefore, the amount of memory that ANP occupies on my tablet is almost 35 Gigabytes.

If you plan to install a lot of cards on your tablet, then I recommend using devices with a built-in memory size of at least 128 GB. Otherwise, you simply won’t have enough space for everything else: there will be nowhere to store music, photos and other applications.

Tip: Do not install or store cards that you do not plan to use. This significantly reduces the memory footprint.

Before launching the program for the first time, you must register on the developer’s website to gain access to all program settings. Registration is free and takes a few seconds.Follow this link services.xample.ch , and by clicking on the “CONNECT” button, select “Register”. Indicate your Email address and click the “Send email” button.In a few seconds you will receive an email at specified address, which will guide you through the next steps to register your account.

Launching the program After installing the program, during the first launch, the system will ask for permission to use GPS data. You must enable geolocation for the Air Navigation program, otherwise the program will not work properly. If your device does not have a GPS module, you will need to purchase one of the devices recommended on page 5.

When you first launch the program, set the center of the map to your current location. The program has a built-in aeronautical database, the elements of which should be displayed on the screen.

Remember that maps are not installed when you install the program.

You can install maps from various free and paid sources in the built-in map store “Map store”, or from the “Addons” section in the user account on the developer’s website (http://services.xample.ch). Additional information is in the next section, on the next page.

To change the measurement system, refer to the Settings section.

Return to contentsMoving map

Introduction The moving map is the main tool of the Air Navigation program. It is used for real-time navigation, as well as for route planning and creating custom waypoints.

Beginning with Air versions Navigation 5 user can create routes/custom points directly on the moving map. It is now possible to immediately add a waypoint to the active route during a flight (for example, to avoid areas with hazardous weather conditions).

By default, the moving map is centered on your current location and oriented to the North. By clicking the symbol in the upper left corner of the moving map, you can change the orientation of the map:

–  –  –

Touching the map with your finger and moving it in any direction from any mode automatically switches it to panoramic mode. In this case, the map will be oriented to the North, with the location you need selected.

However, the map will no longer follow the aircraft, but instead, the aircraft symbol will move around the map and possibly leave the screen borders, going off screen. To return the BC symbol to the screen, click the symbol in the upper left corner of the map again.

Return to Contents Touching an object on the map with your finger causes a menu with useful information to appear. Objects that cause the menu to appear:

Waypoints: terrain elevation, type, full name of the point and drive frequency, airport runway and information about the operating frequencies of ATS units. Starting from version 5.3 also included: sunrise/sunset, as well as direction and distance to the object from the current location of the aircraft.

Airspace: upper and lower limit, name, class and additional information.

Weather observation stations (METAR/TAF):

information on actual and forecast airport weather. Enable displaying weather on the map in the “Map options” map settings.

VMC - Visual Meteorologiacal Conditions, visual weather conditions.

Marginal VMC, conditions bordering on severe weather conditions.

IMC - Instrumental Meteorological Conditions, conditions for instrument flights.

You can switch the display of weather reports from code mode to decrypted reports and vice versa through the “Raw METAR/TAF” menu in the “Settings” settings.

On the iPad, tapping anywhere outside the borders of the window that appears on the screen will close it. On an iPhone, you need to click on the icon with a red cross in the upper right corner of the window.

In flight mode, which is enabled by default (Flight mode), clicking on the name of a waypoint will cause a menu to appear prompting you to select the specified waypoint as active or set one of the devices to it.

–  –  –

By clicking this button located on top panel tools on the iPad, or on the iPhone/iPod Touch toolbar under the screwdriver icon, the user has access to a database of waypoints and airfields.

–  –  –

Return to contents Information panel with data at the bottom of the screen displays real-time information such as: active waypoint (ID, name, direction, distance and estimated time of arrival), current GPS speed (ground speed), track, altitude from sea level to GPS, flight altitude above the terrain (if elevation data is installed from the built-in store), GPS signal quality.

To accurately determine the location of an aircraft, a stable GPS signal is required, the strength of which is displayed in two colors - green and yellow. The red or orange color of the GPS symbol will allow the program to determine the location rather conditionally and will not provide information about the speed and track of the aircraft.

To improve the quality of the GPS signal, it is necessary to place the device near a window or windshield inside the aircraft, with a direct view of the sky. Do not cover iPad's GPS antenna, located on the top of the device. If you are flying an all-metal aircraft, or if your aircraft is equipped with a windshield de-icing system, you will likely need an external GPS device.

Route planning By default, the moving map is in “flight mode”. You can toggle the moving map from “flight mode”

to “planning mode” at any time to create or amend a route by pressing the “EDIT” button in the Toolbar.

To create a route:

Go to the route editing mode “Edit mode” and make sure that a yellow-black bar appears at the top of the moving map window. A search box will appear at the top of the Route module.

To add a waypoint, click on the desired point on the moving map. In the window that appears, select the “Add to route” option. This will cause a yellow four-pointed star to appear on the moving map, and your waypoint will appear in the list of waypoints in the route module on the right side of the Route screen.

An alternative way to create a route is to enter sequentially, one after another, several waypoint identifiers into the search window of the “Route” module, separating them with a space, and then press the Search button on the device keyboard.

Note: to quickly search for a point near an airfield, usually a VFR mandatory reporting point, use the following syntax (example): W@LSZG, where point_id@airfield_id, and press Enter. This will force Air Navigation to find the closest point to the LSZG airfield with ID W.

–  –  –

In the "Route" module, by clicking on the route title at the top of the "Summary" list of waypoints, you can set the route name and specify the wind. Route names are used to quickly identify them in the general list of saved routes.

Wind and cruising speed will be used to calculate route flight times in route editing mode. In flight mode, the current speed is calculated based on GPS data.

The button in the upper right corner of this window will allow you to reverse the route or create a copy.

After making sure that the constructed route is correct, switch the program to flight mode. In this case, the route is automatically saved in the list of routes.

–  –  –

To enter complete information about the aircraft, click on the blue arrow to the right of the ID of the created aircraft. Enter the aircraft's cruising speed and fuel consumption data. This information will be used by the program when calculating the amount of fuel for the flight and the estimated time of arrival. In the “Make, model, appearance” section, indicate the aircraft manufacturer, its type and how it will be displayed on the moving map screen, including the color of the aircraft symbol.

Starting from program version 5.2, an option for calculating aircraft alignment and balance has been added to the aircraft profile settings. Refer to the Weight and Balance section for more information.

To change the measurement system, go to the “Settings” program settings.

Don't forget to make the profile of the created aircraft active. The selected profile is marked with a green icon to the left of the ID, as shown in the picture above.

To send an aircraft profile by email, use the button in the upper right corner of the “Route” route module.

Air space. Displays elements of the VI structure where you can hide/show an unnecessary VI type. Use this option as a filter. There is also an altitude filter to display airspace elements. Select the desired height range to display the VI structure. On the other hand, you can enable/disable unnecessary VIs or display the names of elements on a moving map, and also change the way VI elements are displayed, as shown in the screenshot below.

Waypoints. The user has the ability to filter the displayed waypoints (Airfield, Heliport, IFR, VRP, Navaid, etc.). There is also a filter based on the length of the runway and the type of its surface.

Widgets. The user can enable or disable the display of the extended axis of the aircraft (orange line) and direction on active point(gray dashed line), as shown in the screenshot.

You can also display labels on each leg of the route indicating the route leg distance and heading. Another innovation introduced in version 5.3 is runway identifiers on the extended center line in order to simplify the approach.

Return to Contents The orange “Extended track line” displays the ETA in minutes relative to the current location of the aircraft.

The gray Bearing line indicates the selected (active) waypoint.

Background color. You can choose the background color for areas where there are no maps. This is a very convenient option that allows you to close empty spaces on maps, such as sea or ocean maps, where there is no underlying surface. In these cases, for example, you can set the background color to the color of the sea.

Cards. You can show/hide/overlap previously downloaded maps.

The built-in map engine of the program, starting from version 5, is capable of displaying several maps simultaneously and determining which of them should be a layer above the others. This means you can mix it yourself different types maps of one area.

Overlap (Missing parts of maps)

The screenshot on the right shows two maps:

Brazil WAC 2011 and Uruguay - Free, one above the other.

It looks like the map of Brazil is missing, but in fact it is a typical example of map overlap.

This problem is solved by overlapping maps:

move a card with a higher display priority up in the list of cards, or turn off an unnecessary card.

–  –  –

Note 1: 3D data packages include more accurate elevation data than the old "Free Elevation data" packages. They are more complete and work both for displaying terrain in the terrain window and in the EFIS module. See the manual section "3D EFIS module".

Note 1: remember that you can enable the display of airspace structure on the relief graph in the “Map options” - “Airspaces” menu. In this case, the relief window will look like the one shown in the screenshot below.

Back to Contents Tools Introduction Using the iPhone's built-in GPS receiver and acceleration meters, Air Navigation can simulate a variety of aircraft instruments such as HSI, ADF, CDI/VOR, and altimeter.

Unlike real instruments, virtual instruments can be set to any waypoint in the database (airport, VOR/DME, custom waypoint, etc.).

Starting with version 5.1 of the program, it became possible to configure devices more precisely by clicking on the settings buttons on the edges of the devices and in other ways. This applies to HSI, VOR, ADF and compass. This option is very useful when flying in turbulent conditions.

On the following pages you will find detailed description using different devices?

which exist in Air Navigation.

Note: by default, the instruments display the heading to the selected route point or point on the map. You can disable this setting by turning off the "Adjust Nav 1 to map leg" option in the Settings program.

It is also possible to automatically adjust CDI when the “Auto adjust OBS” option is enabled.

–  –  –

The advantage of using the HSI is that it displays the aircraft's position as an aircraft symbol in the center of the instrument relative to the selected heading. The compass scale rotates automatically according to the aircraft's current track. The radial or heading can be set by touching your finger and sliding up or down one of the two marks on the right and left of the device on the screen (see the figure below), as well as rotating the compass dial.

Ground speed less than 5 knots.

Note: Please be aware that the unit may occasionally give correct off-course readings despite GPS accuracy being less than 2.5 miles. In this case, the compass scale will be oriented to North.

–  –  –

The red and white “NAV” flag, as shown in the screenshot above, indicates that the device readings cannot be trusted for the following reasons:

No waypoint has been selected for the device;

The distance of the waypoint from the current position of the aircraft is more than 250 miles;

GPS receives inaccurate data or poor signal strength, with an accuracy of more than 2.5 miles;

Note 1: the device does not require ground speed.

The red and white “NAV” flag, as shown in the screenshot above, indicates that the device readings cannot be trusted for the following reasons:

No waypoint has been selected for the device;

The distance of the waypoint from the current position of the aircraft is more than 250 miles;

GPS receives inaccurate data or poor signal strength;

The red and white “NAV” flag, as shown in the screenshot above, indicates that the device readings cannot be trusted for the following reasons:

No waypoint has been selected for the device;

The distance of the waypoint from the current position of the aircraft is more than 250 miles;

GPS receives inaccurate data or poor signal strength;

Ground speed less than 3 knots.

Symbol question mark will appear instead of a digital backup of the altimeter data in the following cases:

GPS altitude accuracy greater than 230 feet (60 meters);

Remember that all values ​​can be set either manually or automatically by turning the “Automatic logbook” option in the “Settings” program settings to ON.

–  –  –

Logbook is a simple database containing information about saved flight times and flight details. It contains information about all flights saved manually or automatically.

Flights are sorted from the most recent, down to the first.

Flights performed in the current month are displayed separately.

–  –  –

The weather module allows you to obtain information about weather reports at selected airports.

The module automatically downloads the weather every 30 minutes. The METAR/TAF code is automatically decrypted and stored in a cache with a time stamp when the report was issued. Weather reports older than 36 hours are deleted.

Note: For some airports, weather information can be displayed directly on the moving map (see page 19).

–  –  –

The “Document browser” module allows you to view documents in PDF format during preparation or execution of a flight.

Documents can be added to the browser in the following ways:

Installation of approach procedure packages;

REQUIREMENTS

For the navigation modules to function, you need an iPhone or iPad with GPS support. The built-in GPS is disabled if the airplane mode is active. It is possible to connect an external GPS.

Navigation tools become more accurate if more of the sky is in iPhone's direct line of sight (for example, if iPhone is positioned in the front of the cockpit). The initial acquisition of a GPS signal sometimes takes up to 3 minutes.

This program cannot be used as a replacement for a certified navigation device. Always use official aeronautical documentation when preparing and executing a flight. Always use certified navigation systems when flying.

Keeping GPS on all the time (in the background) greatly reduces battery life.
