Using the iFly GPS app on Android, iOS or Windows, iFly GPS members are now able to seamlessly retrieve flight plans built in iFlightPlanner. iFlightPlanner's ‘Bring Your Own EFB’ programme, launched this summer in response to AOPA members' desire to push flights planned with iFlightPlanner to their preferred EFB, has been enhanced through an integration with iFly GPS.
“In our first conversation with iFly GPS we saw a unique opportunity to extend iFlightPlanner's technology in a way that allowed iFly GPS to offer a comprehensive, web-based flight planner to complement its multi-platform mobile products,” says Andy Matthews, director of business development for iFlightPlanner. “We could not be more appreciative of iFly GPS' initiative to integrate with iFlightPlanner on behalf of its subscribers, especially for those flying with Android.”
Rob Colvin, iFly GPS' VP of strategic development, adds: “iFly GPS saw this as an opportunity to collaborate with iFlightPlanner and allow our combined technologies to provide a safer flight planning and cockpit experience for today's pilot. We are very pleased to work with iFlightPlanner to provide a seamless experience for our shared customers.”
The integration is available for all iFly GPS subscriber levels, and iFlightPlanner Core and Premium memberships, and for a limited time is available for iFlightPlanner for AOPA members.
Walter Boyd, president of Adventure Pilot, makers of iFly GPS, concludes: “We simply wanted our customers who use iFlightPlanner for web-based planning to have a seamless integration with our mobile EFB applications, to meet them where they are most comfortable flying whether that's on an Android, Windows or an Apple device.”
