Compact Instrument Simulator (Lite)
A stripped-back, fast-loading version of the compact instrument trainer for small screens and quick drills — rebuilt natively so it stays crisp on any device.

Caution: the behaviour of the instruments and information shown is approximate, for illustration and study only, and may not reflect the exact readings of a real aircraft.
Instructions for use
A stripped-back, touch-flown VOR trainer for small screens — no keyboard needed. Everything stacks into a single column so it stays usable on a phone, while reusing the same navigation engine as the full simulators.
How to use it
- Tap NAV ALFA or NAV BRAVO to tune a VOR; the CDI and map follow it.
- Set the OBS course and use Centre · TO / FROM to drop the needle onto the inbound track or your current radial.
- Press Fly, then steer with the HDG steppers to intercept and track the course. The RB readout shows the relative bearing to the NDB.
- Tap North up / Heading up on the map to switch orientation. On a laptop you can also fly with the arrow keys.
