AirHorizon: Attitude Indicator

Track climb and descent with a new variometer featuring background mode and external data support. Find the settings you need faster with search.

AirHorizon is a simple, responsive aviation instrument simulator built around an artificial horizon with real-time motion.

Designed for pilots, student pilots, and aviation enthusiasts, it helps you visualize pitch and roll, monitor climb and descent, explore cockpit-style HUD layouts, and better understand aircraft attitude using your device or compatible external telemetry.

Features:

• Artificial horizon in portrait and landscape modes with smooth, responsive pitch and roll movement
• Speed and altitude tapes
• Heading tape with marker
• Variometer with visual indication and audio cues for climb and descent
• Variometer operation in the background or with the screen locked when sound is enabled
• Variometer input from device sensors or a supported external data source
• Adjustable variometer units, with sensitivity and response settings for device sensor input
• Modern pitch and roll boxes
• Night Vision HUD mode
• External flight telemetry over UDP
• Director Mode indication when using a supported external data source
• Adjustable instrument layout and display tuning
• Aircraft symbol overlay
• System status indicators
• One-tap calibration for pitch and roll alignment

External telemetry and compatibility:

External telemetry was tested on iOS and iPadOS with X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 12, and on iOS with Condor 3. All simulators ran on macOS; Condor 3 ran through CrossOver.

AirHorizon is an independent app. Neither AirHorizon nor its developer is affiliated with the developers of X-Plane, Condor, or CrossOver.

X-Plane and Condor 3 are used here as setup examples. Other applications may also work if they transmit flight data over UDP in a message format supported by AirHorizon. Using UDP alone does not guarantee compatibility.

Available readings and features depend on the data provided by the external source. The guide in Settings > External Source explains network configuration, supported telemetry, and variometer setup.

Important for iPad:

Enable Orientation Lock to prevent the instrument screen from rotating while moving the device.

Disclaimer:

AirHorizon is designed for simulation and familiarization purposes. It is not a certified aviation instrument and should not be used as a primary flight reference. Use at your own risk.
