Cloud Ahoy App

Post by Kilstorm »

I stumbled across this app and gave it a try. This is for real life flying but I am very impressed with all its features. The App really doesnt do much except use your phones GPS to log data about the flight. However, once the flight is over and you go to the website you can get all kinds of great info about your flight. I made two clips, the first is comparing Cloud Ahoy info in the upper frame with GoPro footage of the flight in the lower half in this video.

To see more of what can be done with this app I was just checking out various features in this longer clip. A couple of things that I found not worthy that I didnt really discover until after the clip was that it shows your take off and landing ground roll in feet so a great way to test your flight planning ac performance stuff and you can also load up approaches and it will give you a visual of the GS and LOC plus fixes and holds and everything in 3d so you can fly it and then compare to how well you did.

CloudAhoy is a great app. I used it quite a bit during the Real World Coast to Coast trip.
