Overview of AviPocket, The Pocket Size Aviation Computer (... en espaņol)


Avipocket en Espaņol
AviPocket-software is designed for use in calculations for making operational flight plans and for use during the flight.

The program is very easy to use; just answer the questions and read the results in plain language, without any misunderstandings! The system speaks your language. No previous knowledge of computers necessary.

Data values can be entered in units available and also mixed. The computer recognizes units and makes conversions automatically.

A special feature is the Avipocket's ability to determine course and distance via coordinates (longitude and latitude);
Courses and distances are determined via coordinates when the way point is given as: Data of aerodromes and radio navigation aids can be stored into the pocket computer's memory.
When calculating several (sub)routes, it is not necessary to re-enter common data for different functions.
The program supports a optional printing device to put results direct into hard copy.
AviPocket is designed to operate in the Sharp series of pocket computers:
e.g. Shrap Pocket Manager IQ-7000/8000/9000M series.
(program version 6.16S , all VOR and NDB coordinates covering western Europe are stored into the computer's memory)
