Description
VOR Tracker is a small but powerful training tool for pilots. It is the only one of its kind for the iPhone & iPad, providing the real aircraft feel the other apps are missing!
VOR Tracker is a real IFR simulation, so you will find no multiple choice questions or yet more methods which might or might not work for you.
You can actually practice IFR procedures in real time, using either a fixed card CDI, RMI, HSI, or EHSI, which provides additional information like wind, track, and groundspeed.
Practice holding patterns, DME arcs, radial interceptions, and 2 needle tracking in real time. It is practice what it is all about! There is no need for explaining again and again what you already know from flight school. It is about applying your knowledge when the flight instruments start moving!
Wherever you are, IFR training is only two taps away!
Chose between a VOR and NDB and get used to the different characteristics. The NDB comes with atmospheric disturbances and an adjustable dip error to match the instrument you are used to.
Don’t waste your time trying to imagine what you would do in the aircraft – just do it!
VOR Tracker is designed for:
- Student pilots who have the theoretical knowledge for flying IFR procedures, and want to save money by preparing for their pilot training.
- Pilots who want to refresh their IFR navigation skills for an upcoming check ride.
- Pilots going for an assessment. Holding patterns and radial interceptions are commonly used during sim assessments and can really spoil the day. Being prepared will make the difference!
- People who have the knowledge of flying IFR procedures and want to give it a try.
VOR Tracker is NOT:
- a game.
- a flight simulator, it focuses on navigation at a constant speed and altitude.
- a flight training course teaching you how to fly IFR procedures.
Still interested? Read on to find out how VOR Tracker will boost your skills in no time!
- Choose between a fixed card CDI, RMI, HSI, or EHSI.
- Use the instruments like you would do in the real aircraft.
- Use the map mode to verify your progress.
- Lost? Use the help function to display the holding pattern entries in the map mode.
- Things are going a bit too fast? Use the freeze mode to orientate.
- Getting bored in straight flight? Use the fast mode.
- You want to start over or change the aircraft’s position or heading? Just drag & drop, or twist the aircraft symbol.
- Practice a particular holding pattern or radial interception exercise over and over again from new, random starting positions using the reposition button.
- Start with no wind and increase the difficulty later on by adding wind.
- To add more realism, the wind can be selected to be gusty and/or variable in direction.
- Getting settled? Why not increase the aircraft’s speed in the settings menu?
- Customize your own missions and adjust the wind the way you want.
- Use the hidden wind function to add a realistic challenge.
- Analyze your progress in the map mode. Rewind and start over. The previous track lines will still be displayed for you to see the difference.
Prepare yourself without wasting expensive flight time – use VOR Tracker to brush up your IFR skills!
VOR Tracker is the most efficient trainer for holding patterns and radial interceptions available on the App Store.
Supporting you during your IFR training, it will pay for itself in no time. Take that as a promise!

Users asked us to add a fixed card CDI, as they are still around and used in flight training. We came up with a combined heading indicator and fixed card CDI, which surely adds a new challenge. We hope all users will find it useful!

IronChickn,
Very good. Wish I had it at UPT many years ago
This is a nice way to practice VOR navigation without all the setup of a flight sim. I really like the way the authors built the app and it is helping me get my head back in the game before applying to the airlines after a few years of not flying. I would ask for the ability to do user-defined patterns, and patterns away from the VOR on a radial/DME where I have to do a fix-to-fix as well as determine entry method. If you add those things it will really be almost perfect. I also notice that even when I've corrected to a perfect 1:00 inbound leg and am turning a standard rate turn to perfectly align with the inbound leg, the map shows my pattern as wide and long. Please adjust the holding pattern depiction to show the aircraft remaining within the protected airspace if I am flying within the AIM limits. Other than those desires this I really a helpful app!
Benzh,
Very helpful
Thank you. This has been an excellent learning aide and refresher. I can’t imagine how much air work this has avoided.
Update: I don’t think I have ever added an update to a review. This app is so helpful. I’m now doing my multi engine and will do an IPC. This great for getting back up to speed without setting foot in the airplane. My only wish is that the developers add more features. Like full approaches, including an ILS. Best software purchase I have ever made. Sincere thanks.

JollyRoger1525,
Most helpful training app.
There are a lot of training apps out there and unfortunately I’ve purchased my fair share. In my opinion this is the one I come back to you most often. It’s easy to use, but it definitely challenges you so you can calibrate your brain to interpret the needles. The author has done an excellent job with this app. I would echo other comments that it would be great to see even more scenarios. Money well spent.
matthewwong,
Excellent
This app is simply excellent! If you have a few free minutes you can study and improve your VOR skills. The app simplifies things for example you only worry about two dimensions and there’s only standard rate turns which allow you to focus on what actually matters without distraction. I used to use x plane to practice but this app lets you practice on your mobile device and in short time slots this increasing your knowledge.

Best app on NAVAIDs
I am new student pilot, and even though am far from my instrument rating,I like to be ahead of things, and getting to know the instruments and know how they operate is a must. this app has giving me confidence for when my training on VOR navigation comes, I would have a better understanding and would save money on flying hours. Thanks to all the developers involve people like me really appreciate what you do to heal out.

Amazing
This is the first app review I’ve ever written. I was having a lot of trouble learning holds and working them out on the sim in kind of a pain. This app is perfect. When I get my CFII I will be encouraging all of my students to invest. One thing I haven’t quite figured out Is why you briefly lose the VOR when on top of it. Perhaps that could be fixed so we just see a to/from switch.
squirrlybird1,
Great training tool
This is a great way to train your brain to quickly visualize the needles. I’m using this to exercise VOR nav skills in quick 5 minute breaks. Beats social media and cheaper than burning fuel. What it can’t simulate is the task saturation that you can experience in the cockpit. With that, this app is perfect with what it aims to exercise and will hopefully help reduce that workload saturation.
AeroAstroGeek,
Awesome! (UPT Student)
This app excellent! I don’t need to book a practice sim and waste setup time just to practice holdings and arc/course intercepts. I can just hop on this app when I have free time and practice on my own. I made an in-app purchase for the EHSI to practice for my T-6A sims. If you’re a visual learner like me and are having trouble grasping instrument concepts, this app is a must!
GEMPILOT7,
I’m an Student Instrument Pilot
I’m looking for an app or something relatively cheap to help me dial in my holding skills. And I am learning all my instrument holding training on a VOR and heading indicator instrument (basic 6 pack). I wish this app had an option to do just that instead of an HSI that I do not know how to use because my aircraft doesn’t have an HSI. And also custom or randomized ATC hold instructions instead of just published, even though you can customize them a little bit but it’s always a published hold.
Ranger225,
Awesome App
Have just discovered this fine little app and I have not been able to put down the IPad for a couple of days now! Still trying to figure everything out, but after watching the videos on YT I have made great progress. Thanks to the maker of this app!
