Now one can check on flights without spending hours at the airport. With the availability of Flightwise Professional Flight Tracking application, users can take a look at the arrival and departure of flights on their iPhone, at their comfort.
The application has been categorized distinctly as ‘Free’, ‘Lite’ and ‘Pro’ versions. Each version has its own set of features and comes at a prescribed rate. The Free version of the application helps the user track a flight by searching for the flight ID, destination, departure, etc. It also gives the user information regarding flights scheduled in-and-around the user’s location. The version is guided by a lot of ads and demonstrates the current weather radar for the US alongside the flight track.
The Lite version presents the same features as the free version, but is ad-free and costs $0.99. The Pro version has enhanced features when compared to the two previous versions. It allows access to maps with pinch-in-zoom ability, US FAA Sectional and IFR chart overlays, complex search-options and to check on multiple flights at one time. Users who have already subscribed to the Flightwise website can check on flights from the ‘FleetWatch’ tab. Apart from this, the Pro version also offers users information on previous flights (historical flights), registration, in-depth flight plan, etc. To avail this version, users need to pay $9.99.
All the mentioned versions give data regarding flights via text and graphical maps of specified airports and flight tracks. Users can even upload photos of particular aircrafts clicked from their phones. The application is as of now restricted to tracking data related only to flights within the US and airspaces within the vicinity. Moreover, the application has been designed more so for the aviation sector rather than informal tourist. The mentioned applications can be availed from the iTunes App Store.
