Why do I need PocketFMS?

Bavigon 8310 running PocketFMS.No matter what powered type of aircraft you fly, PocketFMS can assist you by taking away workload and providing you with improved situational awareness. Pilots that have flown with PocketFMS will recognize the feeling of relaxation, the drop in pressure and the feeling of having more time to accomplish the cockpit duties - and to enjoy the ride! Airspace infringements and being less than certain of your position are now things of the past!

PocketFMS is designed, built and maintained by pilots for pilots. Because we think you need to be a pilot in order to understand a pilot's perspective. This philosophy places PocketFMS in a league of its own: different, more to the job and shaped by years of airborne experience. Ours and yours: the evolution of PocketFMS has always been inspired by the feedback from our users.

 

 

 

 

3 Levels of Assistance!

PocketFMS will help you in all stages of the flight: before, during and after. Here's how:

One. Flight Planning becomes a breeze: Weather information from the internet is automatically used, easy drag-and-drop planning makes 'What-If' planning peanuts. Just tell PocketFMS your departure and destination and which aircraft you're using: PocketFMS will do the rest, including Weight & Balance, Performance and Fuel Consumption computations. Do you want to avoid all airspace classes A, B and C? Military airspace? Low cloud base? Terrain over 6000'? PocketFMS will route you around at the press of a button. Oh, and don't worry about the paperwork - PocketFMS takes care of that too. NavLogs, ATC Flight Plans, airspace reports - it's all there, or you can add your own! Before taking the trip you might even want to preview it in Google Earth first!
   
Two. More time to enjoy your flight makes for a safer ride: PocketFMS clearly shows where you are and where you should be with it's highly customizable Moving Map displays that hold all major (and a lot not so major) VFR landmarks. No fumbling with large paper maps and trying to read tiny printed upside down texts in hazy colors - our Smart Declutter makes sure you see what you need to see. In flight you'll receive Obstacle & Airspace warnings well ahead, radio frequencies when necessary. Diverting is a matter of a few clicks, high terrain in your vicinity can be colored red on the Moving Maps based on your height over it - all you need to do is relax and monitor your trip!
   
Three. No job is finished until the paperwork is done: With PocketFMS you can review the flight you have just made by displaying it back on the Moving Maps - or again with Google Earth. You can print it together with the background map as a reminder for passengers, or as proof of your good (or bad!) conduct near that CTR. PocketFMS also keeps your flight times and positions logged, so you can easily fill in your logbook lateron.

But it's better than just a few facts: we often hear from our users that PocketFMS brought back the Fun into Flying! You get more time to enjoy your flight when using PocketFMS, because of the reduced cockpit workload. A relaxed and well-informed pilot statistically has a larger chance on meeting his grandchildren . .
