and for the Pocket PC
Airport Insight by Notam Development Group is proudly offered by Burlington
Aviation.
What Is It?
With frequency, runway, navigation, and other information available for all
public use airports in the United States, Airport Insight provides a wealth of
aviation information at your finger tips! It is a great flight planning tool,
and has been designed to be easy to use in the cockpit as well for those
unplanned diversions. Leveraging the quick database access capabilities of the
Palm OS, you can look up airport information far faster than is possible with
traditional printed information. Click on one of the links below for more
information!
What's the Frequency, Ken?
| Looking for a ground
frequency? How about the frequency of the nearest air route traffic
control center (ARTCC)? Or maybe you forgot to jot down the clearance
delivery frequency? Airport Insight provides you with all the latest
frequencies for your airport of choice. What's more, since it requires
less time to look up a frequency than thumbing through an
airport/facility directory or trying to find the ARTCC frequency in the
small table on the back of the sectional chart, it's safer. Less
heads-down time means more heads-up time looking for other traffic. |

Where's the Runway?!?!
Runway List |
Airport Insight also features
complete runway information for all airports in the database. The runway
detail summary information quickly displays the available runways and
their size, allowing you to determine if there the runway meets your
takeoff or landing requirements. Many times, this information alone will
be enough to meet your needs but when it is not, tapping on the runway
name (with either the stylus or your finger) will display more detailed
information about that particular runway. |
| Detailed runway information
includes the size, magnetic alignment for both the base and reciprocal
runway ends, surface type and condition, weight restrictions, and runway
obstruction remarks. If a particular runway has a right hand traffic
specified, that information will be shown as well. For either left or
right hand traffic, Airport Insight can even tell you how to enter the
pattern when you tap on the name of the runway you wish to use... |

Traffic Pattern |
After a long flight, even
experienced pilots sometimes have to think twice about how to enter the
pattern for their chosen runway. Airport Insight makes this incredibly
easy by visually displaying the 45 degree entry, downwind, base, and
final leg headings of the pattern for the selected runway. Airport
Insight can also calculate headwind and crosswind components for any
wind that might exist. Many accidents which occur while landing occur
when the pilot chooses the wrong runway and lands downwind or lands in a
crosswind which exceeds the capability of the aircraft or pilot - don't
let this happen to you! |
Runway Information is Fine, But Where's the
Airport!?!
NavAid Information |
All nearby navigational aids
such as VORs, VOR/DMEs, VORTACs, and NDBs are available in a concise
format that is easy to read while allowing you to continue your #1 task:
flying the airplane! It's also a great reference for flight planning -
the information is updated more frequently than VFR sectional charts,
giving you an extra margin of safety. |
| Navigating to the airport is
one thing; visually confirming that it is the correct airport is quite
another. All kinds of pilots in all kinds of aircraft, civilian and
military alike, have made the mistake of landing at the wrong airport.
Airport Insight can diagram the runway layout of your selected airport,
making visual confirmation quick and easy. This visual confirmation also
helps you plan your entry into the airspace surrounding the airport -
another safety plus! Finally, if you are using a GPS or LORAN unit, the
geographic center of the airport is displayed with a star - this is
helpful in determining your exact distance from the airport. |

We'll Even Throw In A Conduit!
Conduit Configuration |
To help conserve memory on
your handheld computer, Airport Insight comes with a conduit that lets
you specify which airports should be included in the database. |
The full database of public use airports in the
United States consumes approximately 4MB of memory, however, you can easy trim
this to fit in almost any Palm. For example, data for all airports in Minnesota
requires only 51KB or so of memory. If you are just flying in a small area, take
only the data you need with you!
Give it a Try!
| There's much more that
Airport Insight offers: Airport management and service information,
instrument landing systems, airspace information, etc. You can even jot
down quick notes about a specific airport using the built-in airport
memo feature! Probably the best way to experience Airport Insight is to
try our free demo - it will demonstrate the power and easy of Airport
Insight much better than can a web page or glossy brochure! |
