About CFI Tools
----------------

Im a Pilot and a CFI. I build these iPhone apps and other software for my own use.

Some other pilots saw them and said "Hey you should sell those".

So here they are for sale. I hope you enjoy them. Any suggestions for improvement or new apps are always welcomed. Have a good flight.

Pros and cons of CFI Tools Holds app for iPhone and iPad

CFI Tools Holds app good for

This is a great app. I am a CFI in helicopters and often times it is hard to get a new student to visualize entering a holding pattern before actually going out and doing them. Great idea showing both the cockpit view and the North up view and how they work together. You cant go wrong with this app.
... my big, fat fingers have trouble with those teeny, weeny sliders. incorporate manual data entry, and Ill give it a "5" star rating.
As a CFI this is a great tool on the ground and in the air. I use this when teaching my students to visualize their holds.

Some bad moments
