Your flight, on your phone.
Pocket Flight Deck is an Android app that helps passengers view flight parameters using their phone’s satellite positioning data and record their journey.
Coming to Google Play.
Features
GPS altitude, ground speed, vertical speed, ground track and satellite status.
An offline globe with zoom up to ×16, airport selection and route display.
Straight-line distance and estimated time to your selected destination airport, available in Free and Pro without recording a flight or selecting a departure airport.
Flight recording and saved flight history.
A demonstration mode using simulated data without GNSS reception.
English and Russian interfaces, selectable units, and light and dark themes.
Select your destination airport at any point during the flight. Once your phone obtains a satellite position, the app shows the straight-line distance and, when valid speed data is available, an estimated time to your destination. If reception is lost, the last values remain visible with an indication of how long ago they were determined. Without recording, new data is received while the app is open on screen. The time estimate does not account for future speed changes, route deviations, holding or the landing approach.
Free allows up to three recordings to be saved at a time. Pro is a one-time purchase through Google Play without a subscription: MSL altitude, PFD readings, a nearby-city map, charts, GNSS Lab, export and Replay of your own recordings. Pro has no app-imposed limit on the number of saved flights; available device storage remains a limitation.
Important information
This app is intended only for passenger information and entertainment. It is not certified aviation equipment and must not be used for aircraft navigation, flight planning or safety-related decisions. GNSS data and flight phase estimates may be inaccurate or unavailable. Follow airline rules and crew instructions regarding electronic devices.
Readings depend on your phone’s reception. Satellite signals may be unavailable inside an aircraft; reception is often better near a window. Pro does not improve satellite reception. Before purchasing, check that your phone obtains a position in Free. Internet access alone does not replace a satellite signal. The PFD attitude background is static and does not measure aircraft roll or pitch.
