Here are our top picks for flight simulators that work on the iPad and won’t make pilots roll their eyes. Lots of these have flashy videos in the App Store, but most of them are aimed at casual gamers, not pilots. For those reasons-and many more-there is still a thriving market in iPad-based flight simulators. If you want the best flight simulator experience this is the way to go.īut not everyone has a Windows computer that’s powerful enough to run MSFS, and sometimes you only have time for a quick sim session. This is an impressive new option, and when paired to high quality flight controls, it’s a valuable resource for keeping current at home (but don’t try to learn crosswind landings on it).


Mention “flight simulator” right now and most pilots will think of the new Microsoft Flight Simulator, which has been one of the hot topics in aviation since it was released last year.
