Thank you for your interest in the On Top IFR Proficiency Simulator.
Version 9.5 is fully updated to reflect today’s Technically Advanced Aircraft (TAA) with the inclusion of a Garmin™ G1000-style glass cockpit primary flight display (PFD) in the Cessna 182. A Reality XP Garmin 430 GPS is now available in the Cessna 172, Mooney, Bonanza and Baron aircraft. Also included with the full version of On Top V9.5 is FlightPrep’s PlateView program, providing electronic approach plates for U.S. airports. This is a much-requested item and pilots will now have the approach information at their fingertips for their flight simulation sessions. NOTE: Plateview is not available in the demo. See an On Top 9.5 with Plateview screenshot).
The full version of On Top features a worldwide database. The demo provides the opportunity to fly ILS, VOR and NDB approaches, all within a 75-mile radius of Helena, Montana. The following approach plates for the Helena area are for use with the On Top Demo and are not intended for navigational use.
For more information about On Top, and to order, please see the On Top 9.5 product page.
