Works with iOS 7!

This is the same app as PocketHorizon 2.0 but already contains all in-app purchases, for the same price! This includes Logical Drive’s AirNet™ Server (see below). We stopped the in-app purchase hassle for our real pilot users, therefore PocketHorizon 2.0 is no longer available, but it will continue to work up to iOS 7 if already purchased.

PocketHorizon™ Pro is a real Glass-Cockpit, Battery-Backed Standby Artificial Horizon for your airplane, using the internal Gyro if available for quick response, or fully GPS-derived attitude with no Gyro, yielding accurate attitude but with slower response. For iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (all with external GPS). Great as a standby horizon on any airplane, or as the sole supplemental attitude indicator on smaller homebuilts, gliders or ultralights – anywhere you can’t install a certified artificial horizon.

New: Logical Drives AirNet™ allows you to set up a "network in the air" to wirelessly connect two or more Apple devices running PocketHorizon (and soon other apps). Attitude and/or GPS info can be sent to all devices, with only the ‘Server’ device needing an external GPS or Gyro. This enables many scenarios, including multiple attitude displays, remote optimized positioning of the GPS receiver, angled mounting of attitude display devices even with Gyro, and many more.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS APP IS FOR PILOTS ONLY. This app ONLY WORKS IN FLIGHT, and will show unexpected behavior when tried on the ground. For example, it returns to wings-level after a few seconds on the ground, but with forward motion in the air it works exactly as expected. This is part of the constant calibration of attitude by the GPS, and is why PocketHorizon really works vs. some others on the App Store. See the FAQs and P.O.H. for more info, but if you are not a pilot or don’t like to read instructions PLEASE don’t buy this app. If you do, please FLY with it before leaving a review or rating. Thanks!

NOTE: PocketHorizon Pro REQUIRES EXTERNAL GPS, even when an internal Gyro or internal GPS are available. See all NOTES below!

NOTE: Garmin GLO is NOT supported. See our website for more info.

NOTES and DISCLAIMER

NOTE: PocketHorizon Pro is a GPS-assisted attitude display and REQUIRES a WAAS/EGNOS-Enabled External GPS with a good sky view EVEN WHEN USED WITH THE GYRO! The internal GPS included in iPhone and many iPads is generally not sufficient to yield a steady attitude indication, so is not approved for use with PocketHorizon Pro. Please see website for more info & mounting.

NOTE: PocketHorizon Pro is not intended for Aerobatics or for use in Helicopters. See our website for more details.

DISCLAIMER: This product consists of two components, the PocketHorizon Pro software and your Apple iOS device. Neither the software nor the Apple device are FAA Certified, and therefore should only be used for supplemental situational awareness in cooperation with other instruments and information sources in your airplane. Logical Drive Inc. does not assume any risk from your use of either PocketHorizon Pro or the iOS device, therefore you use these at your own risk. If you do not agree with these terms you are not authorized to use the PocketHorizon Pro software, and should not purchase this app. Thank you for understanding.

*PocketHorizon Pro disables GPS after 1 minute in the background to conserve battery life.
