FlightAssistant, your best co-pilot on an Android device
*** WARNING TO EUROPEAN USERS ***
Flight Assistant version 2 (see applications from the same publisher) has been made available to most countries in Europe.
The version 1 aeronautical data for those countries is not maintained anymore.
If Flight Assistant version 2 is available in your country, you would much rather install and use version 2.
