A simple and fun utility to record your flight for amateur pilots, hang-gliders and balloonists. Using your iPhones built-in GPS or an external GPS unit, FlightRecorder will store both ground track and altitude, so you can see where you went.

* Choice of aeronautical units (nautical miles, knots, feet), metric or imperial.
* Secondary display shows altitude over time, altitude by distance, or speed over time.
* Map display is regular Apple maps with choice of satellite view - note that no special data is provided for aerodromes or airports.
* Records in background while the device is locked. (Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life).

NOTE: GPS does not function in ‘airplane’ mode, so in that mode this app will not record any position or altitude information. Flight Recorder is designed only for situations where regulations do not require airplane mode.
