BRISTOL, UK - Digital Aviation announces today, that it has released Radio Navigation Simulator Basic, a free version of it's popular IFR flight training app series Radio Navigation Simulator.

This Basic version of the app is limited in that it has only a single usable training navaid (a combined VOR/DME and NDB) which is located within the existing exercise flight environment of approx 150 x 200 nm, populated with VOR, VOR-DME and NDB Navaids & Airfields, to provide training context.

It is intended as an introduction and demo to the existing Radio Navigation Simulator series of apps.

These which are precision 2D flight simulators and training aids, designed for iPad & iPhone, that enable pilots and students to practice, understand and become proficient in the use and management of VOR, DME and ADF/RMI instruments, displayed with an HSI or Directional Gyro on a choice of five realistic flight panels.
