App Description

Have you ever dreamed of how it’s like to be a pilot in your own airplane or hot air balloon?

This app will not really help you with that experience...
But when you live in your dream or dream your dream – this app will boost your experience. This is an analog authentic flight instrument.

The variometer is an instrument that indicates the current vertical speed (speed up and down) of the aircraft (it will also work excellent to measure the speed of an elevator :).

This app supports the barometric chip that is available in newer devices (like iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus). Just like a real instrument, the pressure from the barometer is used to calculate your current altitude.
This app does also support NODE with a Clima sensor from variabletech.com.

If you don’t have a NODE with Clima module or a newer device with a barometer chip, the app will use the internal GPS chip. The app will have the same functionality without a NODE or barometer chip but with a little less accuracy (observe that the iPad Wifi and iPod Touch have a simpler and less accurate GPS chip).

Aeroalti is part of the aeronaut suite. If you like it, please check out the other apps in the suite.
