About HSI - Instrument Approach Sim
HSI - Instrument Approach Trainer is the only app that lets you import real PDF approach plates and fly HSI approaches right on top of them. Whether you're a student pilot preparing for your instrument rating, a CFI teaching procedures, or a current pilot staying sharp — HSI puts realistic approach training in your pocket. Initially developed for Australian advanced flying training by an Air Force Qualified Flying Instructor - HSI is built by a pilot for pilots.
WHAT MAKES HSI DIFFERENT
Import Your Own Approach Plates Load any PDF approach plate and practice the procedure as published. No other app offers this. Fly the approaches you'll actually fly in the real aircraft.
Realistic HSI Instrument - A beautifully rendered HSI with course selector, CDI, and heading bug. Designed after modern glass and PC-21 style displays.
Multiple Nav Modes - Practice VOR, TACAN, LOC, and NDB approaches. Set up any scenario with customizable navaid positions and approach tracks.
Built-In Fix to Fix (Point to Point) Training with HSI and map overlays that help you visualise this skill.
Speed Control - Run approaches at 1x, 2x, 5x and 10x speed. Slow it down to learn, speed it up to drill.
FREE TO TRY
Download HSI for free and explore every feature. Love it? Unlock HSI Pro (one-time purchase) for the full experience:
HSI Pro includes: • PDF approach plate import • No timeout for Pro features (speed ramp, interactive instruments, map follow), Fix-to-Fix Challenge Leaderboard and more.
WHO IT'S FOR
Student Pilots — Build your conceptual knowledge of HSI instruments and approach procedures before expensive simulator or flight hours.
Instrument-Rated Pilots — Stay current on procedures. Practice approaches you'll fly on your next trip. Import the actual plates.
Flight Instructors (CFIs) — Demonstrate HSI concepts to students on an iPad. Import the approach plate you're briefing and walk through it step by step.
Military Pilots — Originally developed for Australian military advanced flying training. PC-21 style HSI graphics feel right at home.
WHAT PILOTS ARE SAYING — 4.5 stars from pilots who use it
"Great tool to brush up on IFR point to point concept and hold entries"
"If you don't fly much IF this HSI tool will help you out"
"Great for your own practice or explaining to a friend how to do point to points and orientate yourself in IF"
SAVE MONEY A single flight hour costs hundreds of dollars. HSI Pro costs a fraction of that — once. Practice unlimited approaches and walk into your next checkride, sim session, or flight with confidence.
PRIVACY HSI collects zero data. No accounts, no tracking, no analytics. Just training.

Very good
Just what I was looking to teach students HSI and Bearing Pointer basics. Spend a few minutes and the program makes sense once you see the lock colors change. I used to fly this EHSI in Learjets and Falcons years ago with an EADI, before the advent of the PFD. It’s still my favorite cockpit. Good app

Good but needs some work
Does not have any glitches or anything so thats good, but you need to have a simpler user interface or make a tutorial, i had to figure out how to work with the app, would be nice if you explained how to work it before hand.
