📉

True Barometric Precision

Forget GPS estimates. Use the built-in Bosch sensor and manual Kollsman window adjustment to sync with current barometer settings for reliable pressure altitude.

📐

Smart Performance Metrics

Automatically calculate Density Altitude, True Airspeed, and estimated Take-Off distance to ensure safe operations in hot or high-altitude environments.

🚨

Critical Safety Monitoring

Stay focused on the flight while the app tracks your altitude and triggers automatic warnings when you reach FAA-mandated oxygen requirements.

About the app

Everything you need to know about avAltimeter.

Description

Simple and Effective! avAltimeter is a digital, aviation-oriented altimeter. It is the only altimeter app which has the Kollsman adjustment so you can adjust the altimeter to the current barometer setting, or to 29.92 inches of mercury for the pressure altitude. Need a quick backup for your panel? avAltimeter uses the latest Apple and Bosch technology built into the iPhone 6 and later models. Earlier models of the iPhone and iPads before iPad Air 2 or Mini 4 do not have the required pressure sensing hardware and do not work. All iPad Pro models work too! Smart! avAltimeter calculates the temperature sensitive Density Altitude. Based on the Density Altitude, the app also calculates True Airspeed as a function of Indicated Airspeed. avAltimeter calculates a rough estimate of the increased required Take-Off distance from that at seal level from increased Density Altitude as well. You can even set the App to obtain automatically obtain the latest barometric pressure from the closest reporting airport. The barometer setting will auto-update every 20 minutes, or if you move more than 25 miles from your previous location. When using the live METAR update feature, the App will display which airport pressure it is using, and how old the reading is. This feature requires an internet connect and active GPS, so it will not work well if you are flying inside a jet. In a jet, the App works great to track the cabin pressure if you just leave the barometric pressure set at 29.92 inHg. Increased Safety! Know your oxygen requirements. avAltimeter tracks your altitude and provides a warning to use oxygen when you exceed FAA mandated limits. Customizable! avAltimeter is customizable. Choose Imperial or Metric units. Set the Altimeter Setting through a popup Kollsman window or by directly setting the field altitude. The field altitude can be set manually or automatically by GPS. Select Day or Night illumination. Turn the audio alarms for oxygen on or off. Improve the take-off performance estimate by selecting your propellor type: constant speed or fixed pitch. Sensitive! The Bosch sensor chip built in to the iPhone 6 and later is sensitive to changes in altitude of three feet or less and has an estimated range from -1500 feet to over 20,000 feet. Unique! Unlike other aviation apps, avAltimeter uses actual barometric pressure to calculate altitude, not a GPS estimate. The barometer is only available in iPhone 6 and later or the iPad iPad Air 2, Mini 4 as well as all iPad Pro! Legal Disclaimer This is an app, not an FAA approved flight instrument. It has not been certified as meeting the relevant TSO specifications. This app can not be used as a primary flight instrument.
