Honnêtement, je ne comprends pas tout le problème du journal de bord. Ne parle pas de eLogs en général. J'ai eu un plus longtemps que la plupart. Mon premier ministre était au début des années 1990 et j'ai changé mon journal, à la différence des FCI qui se sentent plus à l'aise avec le papier.

Mais je ne Comprends pas le désir de se attacher à un EFB Particulier en conservant des ses de vol les Données plus importantes, surtout s'il existe de telles bonnes solutions.

Une interface serait bien, mais le fonctionnement de iFly, il faudra un changement majeur dans l'architecture. IFly n'a pas beaucoup d'interface avec le système d'exploitation. Essayez de copier / coller n'importe quoi entre iFly et une autre application et vous voulez ce que je veux dire. (C'est en fait le plus de gros Inconvénient que je te vois Dans iFly)

Both have rather primitive weather briefing functions.  iFly relies entirely on raw text.  Foreflight also include graphics, but accessing them is surprisingly cumbersome.  Weathermeister.com is much better than either of them (but requires another subscription).

For me iFly is the clear overall winner in this comparison, although I'm hoping the next version will include more voice alerts and a logbook function.  Maybe even an improved weather briefing function?

Alan -- you'll find grapical weather as part of the V11 Weather Briefing feature (from Leidos).  We also plan on adding more weather products in V11.x incremental updates.  As always, no promises on dates.

Weathermeister has a free version (not as slick, and with ads, but...  free!):

That's the beauty of tying into MyFlightBook.  It's cloud based database.  All iFly has to do is to provide a "form" to fill out (which, like MyFlightBook's app, it can auto-fill the flight-start, flight-end, and route info for you), and then send the data to MyFlightBook's database.  You could view your logbook using iFly (app or device), or MyFlightBook's app, or MyFlightBook's website.

That sounds very smart.  Wish I'd said that.
