iFlightPlanner.com to Support Aerostars Formation Aerobatic Team

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) September 21, 2011 -- iFlightPlanner.com and the Aerostars formation aerobatic team proudly announce a new partnership that will provide Team Aerostar with integrated flight planning support powered by iFlightPlanner.com and iFlightPlanner for iPad.

At AirVenture 2011, iFlightPlanner.com and Sennheiser Aviation introduced an integrated iPad application that maximizes the power and versatility of iFlightPlanner.com’s web-based flight planning wizard with the portability of the Apple iPad. With the release of iFlightPlanner for iPad later this fall, Team Aerostar will have an integrated electronic flight bag that allows for flight details such as their routes, weather, navigation logs, VFR and IFR charts, approach plates, and digital logbooks to be downloaded and viewed on the iPad while in flight and without a data connection.

“Our airline flying schedules keep us very busy so our flight planning between our base airport and the show sites must be quick, easy, and exact,” said Paul Hornick, Left Wing pilot for the Aerostars. “iFlightPlanner.com and iFlightPlanner for iPad provide our team the tools necessary to handle our VFR or IFR flight planning needs in an easy to use interface that is quick to learn and even quicker to use.”

Andy Matthews, iFlightPlanner.com’s Co-Founder & Director of Business Development, adds “There is a level of precision that is demanded by the Aerostars every time they take to the air. It’s our goal to help every pilot plan more efficiently and fly safer by providing them with the most intuitive and detailed flight planning resources available whether they are at home or on the go.”

The Aerostars will have access to iFlightPlanner.com’s all-in-one suite of web and mobile-based flight planning utilities which features a proprietary flight wizard that guides pilots through the entire flight planning process. In addition to route planning, certified weather briefs, weight & balance calculations, and filing of VFR and IFR flight plans, iFlightPlanner.com also offers:

• Seamless VFR and IFR charts complete with hi-res weather imagery on Google Maps;

• Detailed navigation logs containing custom waypoints, forecasted winds, temps, fuel burn, and ETAs;
• Comprehensive Airport/Facility Directory with airport diagrams, procedure plates, & business listings;
• Integrated digital logbook that allows pilots to maintain online records of their flights; and a
• Searchable Flight Instructor Directory providing CFIs opportunities to build their student base.

"Between the three of us, we have over 80 years of professional flying experience and iFlightPlanner.com rivals the planning sites that the airline dispatchers use," added Hornick.

The Aerostars have two remaining shows on their 2011 schedule. The Ft. Smith ANG Air Show in Ft. Smith, AR will be flown October 1-2 followed by the Champion Aerospace Air Show on October 5 in Liberty, SC.
