01 / The flight cockpit
More practice.
More control.
Work on intercepts, tracking, wind correction and timing with instruments you choose. Adjust heading and course, pause to think, or speed up time to get to the next part of your exercise.
Fly the intercept
Choose a heading, set your course and watch the indications change.
Work with the wind
Practise corrections with fixed or random wind conditions.
Take your time
Use the stopwatch, pause the simulation or accelerate time.
02 / Practise, review, repeat
The chart is
your choice.
A familiar procedure. Somewhere new. An approach you want to try again.
Bring an approach plate or map you have access to. No chart-provider subscription, automatic chart interpretation or online chart service is required.
Open your chart in flight, inspect the flight trace, and pan or zoom to review your path. Reposition the aircraft to practise a section again.
Make it your mission
03 / A comprehensive mission editor
From a chart to
your next session.
Eight guided steps. The freedom to configure the exercise yourself. Start with bundled example missions, then build a collection that fits your practice.
02
Put your chart in scale
Orient the chart, calibrate by distance, latitude or longitude, and set magnetic variation.
03
Build your navigation references
Place, name and move multiple beacons. Set optional beacon-specific magnetic variation.
04
Connect the instruments
Choose your instruments, associate them independently with beacons, and configure DME ground or slant range.
05
Set up the next flight
Place the aircraft, set its heading, choose fixed or random wind, then name and save your mission.
Make it repeatable
A mission you can
come back to.
Keep your chart, navigation references and starting conditions together. Save the setup once, then revisit the exercise whenever you want to practise.
Choose your panel ↓04 / Build the panel you want
Three ways to find
your heading.
Choose a direction indicator, mechanical HSI or digital HSI for the left instrument. Pair it with an ADF or CDI on the right, with independent navigation-reference assignments.
Direction indicator
A familiar heading reference for your instrument-navigation exercises.
Mechanical HSI
Practise with a conventional horizontal situation indicator.
Digital HSI
Switch between HSI, HSI+RMI and RMI presentations. Add DME and use the stopwatch for timing.
05 / Yours to keep
Less friction.
More flying.
One purchase. No subscription.
Buy once, with no recurring fee to keep using the purchased app. No chart-library lock-in or charges to unlock more plates.
Private by design.
Fully offline practice. No account, tracking or personal data collected by the app. Charts, missions and settings stay local on your device.

Why we built it
The freedom and controls
we wanted for our own practice.
After trying different procedure-training apps, we wanted the useful ideas together in one place: the freedom to bring our own charts, a choice of instruments and a mission editor that puts us in control.
That’s why we built Real Approach Trainer.
