Foreflight and Skydemon are two popular navigation apps for general aviation pilots flying in Europe. I've been flying with both in the past and I'll be comparing them for you. In this first part I'll give you an overview about these apps, we'll look at the maps and plan a flight.

Thank you for this video. Good luck with your channel & I just subscribed. I tried quickly on simulator garmin, SD and FF and I still can’t make a choice... not currently ´navigating’ for real, just started my ppl in may!

Hey there, thanks for your comment! You‘ll figure it out for yourself after a longer time of usage! All the best for your ppl training, enjoy the flying!!

I personally would say start with SD then 'step up' to FF once you've got your PPL and a bit of experience. The ease of use of SD is unmatched and FF has features you're unlikely to use for the first 100 or so hours of your flying.

Davide Marrone ciao... magari! Temo tu mi stia scambiando con qualcun altro! Mi dispiace! Ho preso la mia prima licenza per ultraleggeri nel 2004...

Hi, thanks for your channel! ;) I've a simple question: I'm stuck in the choice Ipad vs Ipad mini. Which one is the best choice by your point of view? I fly regularly as private pilot only SEP mainly in day VFR and the space in the cockpit is an important factor. Furthermore, do you know if you can interface a Garmin D2C aviation watch with the two apps or an ipad "cellular" is mandatory to benefit of the plane trace and telemetry in the screen? Thanks!

@ASWISSPILOT 2 года назад

Hi :) Sorry for the late reply and thanks a lot for your comment! For SEP I personally favour the Ipad mini. GA cockpits are small and space is limited, the form factor of the mini is perfect for these conditions I think. I recently ordered the new Ipad Mini 6, it is currently being shipped and I'll do a video on that in the upcoming weeks. Subscribe in order not to miss it ;) Unfortunately I can't answer the question recarding the Garmin D2C watch, all I know is that only the cellular Ipads have onboard GPS receivers, Wifi-only versions don't have that!

@vincenzovinciprova 2 года назад

@@ASWISSPILOT Thanks, this is what I think as well. The iPad mini, especially the new 6 version with a bigger screen than the previous one, is perfect for little planes. Can't wait for your review! Thanks!

I use a Samsung Tab S2 8inch on ram mount or on my lap in a knee board. I think 8 inch is the perfect size for SEP.

Nice video but as i am only a UL Pilot with 600kg max, you can land pretty much anywhere so no need to calculate your W.B. I think for flying only VFR and as an UL Pilot, SkyDemon is the obvious option here, even tho Foreflight offers clearly more options, i doubt it that you ever use more then SkyDemon already offers. And last but not least, regarding the weather information inside the app, never rely on one source of data only. Look up the weather from an independant source too.

@ASWISSPILOT 2 года назад

Hi there! Thanks for your comment 😃 Yes for VFR in Ultralight/ LSA Skydemon will be a good choice for sure! All the best ;)

@SharinerLPHD 2 года назад

In my case i chose FF for VFR flight, because it had more traffic circuits in the database than skydemon. I don't know why SD missed some. I fly on a few airports without ICAO code, and all of these airports have no traffic pattern. FF shows these. Also it seems for me the better "all in one" solution and i don't feel comfortable with the map of SD.

@ASWISSPILOT 2 года назад

Thanks for your comment! Good choice I‘d say 😉👍🏼

@TheMixbusters 3 года назад

Would you use Sky Demon with an Android tablet?

@igor-orzhevskii 3 года назад

Why not? It works butter smooth even on low budget devices (but that depends more on a processor type, because a lot of apps are optimized for Snapdragon, even though Kirin is more faster).

@dimitridovgan6364 10 месяцев назад

I already do. Never had a problem, never heard of problems.

@IvanMidwing Год назад

Or Easy VFR 4?

@21LOLxPRO 3 года назад

sky deamon the best for foreflight ifr navigate only

@Nicolas-is3gq 3 года назад

I have no idea what you just said here...

@industrieundtechnik1761 Год назад

What does this mean mr. brain ?

@tonysfly749 Год назад

skydemon is better

@richardpayne Год назад

So, for your comparison, you chose an app which doesn't support Android, the single largest mobile OS market in the world. Got to 6 minutes in and stopped watching. Complete wasn't of time.
