HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (2.2 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ Great information & free too.
★★★★★ Yes, you can get all this info free from the FAA, but you have to download them by chapter.

★★★★★Jun 10, 2025
Good idea, just don’t use calculators

Seems like a good idea. More user friendly than using a PDF copy. The trip planning calculators don’t work, however. The trip time doesn’t sum properly (it just repeats the descent time value) therefore fuel calculation is based on the few minutes of descent time, not the whole trip. This is worthless and pointless.

★★★★★Jan 15, 2025
Nice App - Needs Updated

There are significant changes in the FAA-8083-25C 2023 version. One of the value propositions for apps that wrap pdf content publicly available should not only be the features around the standard content (favorites, calculators, etc) but most importantly for the content to be up to date. Right now it’s like having an old book.

★★★★★Apr 27, 2022
Information at your convenience

As a student pilot this book covers topics a ground school usually doesn’t. Very handy and helpful

★★★★★Oct 10, 2021
Great reference

The presentation is easy to understand.

★★★★★Feb 15, 2021
Right on Point

It serves exactly what a digital version of the pHAC needs to be. Excellent app for the money and demand.

★★★★★Dec 8, 2020
Must have aviation flying

Don’t miss out. This is my number one reference for flight instruction.
