Advanced Altitude Management

What’s new?

• VNAV (Vertical Navigation) gives you unparalleled control of altitude. Use VNAV to define precisely HOW, WHEN and WHERE you want to be at a certain altitude. With customizable settings, you define how VNAV will work.

• ALT HOLD Mode is specifically designed for VFR pilots requiring virtually no setup. Just tap the button and AltitudeAlert will monitor your current altitude. This mode is great for student pilots, formation flying, and pilots of vintage, ultralight, and light sport aircraft with minimal instrumentation..

• Never miss an altitude assignment again. Set the altitude and AltitudeAlert alerts you prior to reaching it and again when you acquire it. Spoken alert announcements are customizable. Choose from a single chime or chime plus altitude remaining.
•  Need to shoot an approach? No problem! Set the minimums and AltitudeAlert will alert you 100′ above minimums and again at minimums.**

*** HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS ***

iPad:

All iPads must be able to acquire a GPS signal. Wifi + Cellular iPads come equipped with a GPS receiver. Wifi ONLY iPads require an EXTERNAL GPS* receiver to be connected to the iPad. Compatible external GPS receivers include (but are not limited to):

• iPad Mini 4 or newer
• iPad Air 2 or newer
• iPad 5th Generation or higher
• iPad Pro (any size) or newer

Minimum hardware requirements for GPS based alerting ONLY (iPads that do NOT have the barometric sensor):

• iPad 4th Generation or older

If you have an iPhone 5s or SE, AltitudeAlert will be limited to GPS Based alerting (See the User Guide for details).

General Guidelines:

*** PLEASE NOTE, AltitudeAlert is a universal app for both iPad and iPhone

AltitudeAlert SELECTOR Mode is intended for use in aircraft without a panel mounted altitude preselector/altitude alerter. If you have a panel mounted altitude preselector/altitude alerter, this App may be duplicating functionality you already have.  However, ALT HOLD mode is a simplified mode that is perfect for ALL Pilots regardless of any installed panel alerters.

Barometric pressure sensing features will NOT work correctly in PRESSURIZED aircraft. In this case, use GPS based alerting and reference the User Guide for more info.
