The casual traveler may think that the aviation industry has all the technology it needs to carry people from continent to continent. While that may be true, there are industries outside aviation that help them make flights safer and more efficient. The IT industry, for example, has come up with a number of apps that complement flight. Here are some of them. Image source: techlicious.com CloudAhoy CloudAhoy is a nifty app that debriefs pilots after a flight. It tracks specific aspects of a flight and brings up data for review. It pairs up nicely with Google Earth, allowing pilots to check their completed journey via a web browser. CloudAhoy is very user-friendly and free. It also has a privacy feature to keep info secure. ForeFlight Mobile ForeFlight Mobile, as opposed to CloudAhoy, is anything but simple. However, ForeFlight Mobile is comprehensive, with a huge database that includes pre-flight and in-flight features, as well as aviation charts. Through the app, pilots can do a host of things, from planning flights to checking the weather. It’s free and very popular among aviators. FltPlan Go For those familiar with FltPlan.com, Fltplan Go is the app that connects to it. It is a hugely popular flight planning service that also has pre-flight and in-flight information that includes a comprehensive airport database, weather reports, and charts. The NavLog feature connects straight to the website’s planning sheets.
