Sennheiser and iFlightPlanner.com Announce October Release of Flight Planner for iPad at AOPA Aviation Summit

Cooperation Between Companies Helps Pilots Realize an Integrated and Flexible Flight Planning Experience; Application To Be Available In iTunes App Store Next Month

    HARTFORD, CT, September 25, 2011 /Computer PR News/ -- Aviation headset manufacturer Sennheiser and iFlightPlanner.com [AOPA Aviation Summit Booth #439] announced the launch of an integrated flight planning application specifically designed for use on the Apple iPad and iPad 2. iFlightPlanner for iPad is part of a comprehensive flight planning solution which enables pilots to plan their flights independent of where they are and what device they are using - bringing the aviation community one step closer to realizing full cockpit integration.

iFlightPlanner for iPad, which is fully integrated with iFlightPlanner.com, will be available as a free download in the Apple iTunes Store in October. Sennheiser and iFlightPlanner.com previewed the application during Oshkosh AirVenture 2011 last July to a positive reception among pilots and media alike.

"Sennheiser's cooperation with iFlightPlanner.com has entailed much more than simply launching an application for the iPad," commented Christian Pulm, Strategy Development, Sennheiser Aviation. "We have played an important role in shaping the strategic direction and overall development of an integrated solution that takes full advantage of current technologies, providing pilots with a set of flight planning tools that define a new standard."

With one touch, iFlightPlanner for iPad enables pilots to not only plan their flights but to seamlessly sync all data from their iFlightPlanner.com account. This integrated approach provides pilots the ability to efficiently plan flights from their home desktop, laptop or any web browser and instantly access flight information from their iPad. Once downloaded, pilots may view flight details, including navigation logs, VFR and IFR charts, as well as approach plates while in flight and without a data connection. After landing, iFlightPlanner for iPad allows pilots to electronically close their flight plans and automatically log their flight details into their iFlightPlanner.com logbook.

"We are very excited about iFlightPlanner for iPad and it's integration with iFlightPlanner.com," commented Andy Matthews, co-founder and director of business development, iFlightPlanner.com. "Sennheiser Aviation has allowed us to create a unique flight planning environment that will give pilots unprecedented access to our intuitive suite of flight planning tools, enabling them to plan more efficiently and fly safer."

In addition to route planning, certified weather briefs, weight and balance calculations and filing of VFR and IFR flight plans, iFlightPlanner.com also offers pilots:

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

-Detailed navigation logs containing forecasted winds, temperatures, 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

-Searchable Flight Instructor Directory providing CFIs opportunities to build their student base

iFlightPlanner for iPad will also provide users with access to a Sennheiser product and support platform, as well as news on relevant programs and events.
