FLY is FUN

FLY is FUN is an aviation application crafted to enhance the experience of pilots during their flights. Its core purpose is to simplify flight preparation and improve in-flight situation awareness. This powerful tool offers a suite of features including real-time information on airspaces, position tracking on a moving map, elevation profiles, frequency data, railway and weather updates, as well as access to pertinent airfield documents.

One of the key advantages is its capability to simulate various navigational aids such as ILS approaches, VOR, NDB, DME, and RNAV navigation, offering critical guidance even without onboard equipment for these systems. Additionally, the software provides essential alerts for entering controlled spaces and aids in thorough route planning by estimating distance, time, and fuel consumption based on wind and aircraft specifics.

A high level of customization is available, allowing users to tailor their display with near a hundred different values, optimizing for a VFR, IFR, or a hybrid of both visualizations. It supports STRATUX, offering the flexibility to create, modify, and analyze routes and waypoints conveniently. The solution even includes dynamic terrain mapping, color-coded for elevation, and supports the import and export of flight data in various file formats.

The app also includes a comprehensive logbook for recording detailed flight information and a repository of charts and elevation data from both open-source and commercial providers. Pilots can attach their own PDF files for quick access and utilize external GPS devices connected via Bluetooth, ensuring comprehensive navigational support.

Users can initially test the software during a trial period, after which continuous access is provided through an annual subscription. This financial contribution supports ongoing development and refinement.

Please note, it is intended exclusively for VFR flying, and responsibility for safe operation lies with the user. For feedback or suggestions aimed at improving or to report any encountered issues, users are encouraged to engage with the development community. FLY is FUN's meticulous design and extensive feature set make it an unparalleled resource for pilots seeking a streamlined and safer flying experience.
