VOR Tracker - IFR Nav Trainer2.10.1 - App Store

The needles are moving. The examiner is watching. Your mind goes blank.

The cockpit is the most expensive place to discover the gap between knowing the theory and flying the procedure. VOR Tracker is a real-time IFR procedure trainer for holding patterns, radial interceptions and DME arcs - you fly them on the instruments you already use, wherever you are, whenever you want.

One-time purchase - for less than half an hour of dual instruction, and it never renews. No subscription, no ads.

FLY THE INSTRUMENTS YOU ACTUALLY USE
- Fixed-card CDI, RMI, HSI or EHSI - the EHSI adds wind, track and groundspeed
- VOR or NDB, with realistic dip error and atmospheric noise on the NDB
- Aircraft speeds from light trainer to jet

TRAIN THE WAY YOU FLY
- Freeze the action when things get too fast
- Skip ahead through the straight bits
- Drag the aircraft to reposition, or repeat any exercise from a new random start
- Stuck on holding entries? Let the map show you the sectors
- Build your own missions, with your own wind

RAISE THE STAKES WHEN YOU'RE READY
- Start calm, then add wind: steady, gusting, variable - or hidden, so you work it out yourself

SEE YOUR PROGRESS
- Rewind and fly it again; the previous tracks stay on the map so you can compare

MADE FOR
- Student pilots who would rather make their mistakes on the ground
- Pilots preparing for a check ride, an IPC or a simulator assessment
- Instructors who want to show an entry, a lead angle or a wind correction in real time

WHAT IT IS NOT
- Not a game
- Not a flight simulator: it trains navigation procedures at a constant speed and altitude
- Not a ground-school course: it assumes you know the theory and need the practice

"I was really struggling to visualise NDB joins and an hour on this and I have it cracked." - App Store review
"I highly recommend it to all of my students and to anyone learning IFR procedures." - Google Play review

Recommended for simulator-assessment preparation by training organisations including Horizon Swiss Flight Academy, SKY4u Aviation Service and Airline Entry Training.

VOR Tracker has trained IFR procedures since 2014, on iPhone, iPad and Android.

Bug fixes: holding pattern courses were sometimes upside-down; close info button in map mode now functional.

Performance improvements. 2.10.0 May 4 Change in wording regarding radial interceptions following user request, thank you! 2.9.13 03/11/2025 Bug fixes 2.9.12 12/31/2024 Bug fixes 2.9.11 12/10/2024 Following a user's request, it is now possible to create DME arcs of less than 60°. 2.9.10 05/13/2024 Bug fixes
- CDI compass rose
- drag & drop in map mode 2.9.9 02/16/2024 Bug fixes 2.9.8 02/11/2024 It is now possible to customise the colors of the EHSI needles. 2.9.7 01/22/2024 Fixed a bug that displaced the virtual keyboard for entering aircraft speed. 2.9.6 11/29/2022 To add more realism and a new challenge, the wind can now be selected to be gusty and/or variable in direction. 2.9.5 05/12/2022 Fixed a bug that prevented the app from starting on devices running iOS 12 and below 2.9.4 11/04/2021 Bug fix: tapping the aircraft symbol in map mode to make it twist was difficult on devices using 3D touch.
New design of the mission editor and settings page in preparation for more things to come. 2.9.3 10/31/2021 Users asked us to add a fixed card CDI, as they are still around and used in flight training. We came up with a combined heading indicator and fixed card CDI, which surely adds a new challenge. We hope all users will find it useful! 

Having decided to move away from in-app purchases with the last release, we are adding it at no additional cost. 2.0.13 09/17/2021 Display of QDM on map corrected 2.0.12 05/19/2021 Following customer feedback:

- the EHSI, formerly an in-app purchase, is now integrated, reducing its price by more than half
- an option is now available to limit the starting position for radial interceptions to within +/- 90° of the desired radial

Further improvements:

- enhanced performance
- new tutorial
