TouchTrainers can transmit their simulated position and AHARS (Attitude, Heading and Reference System) data to multiple Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) applications running on your tablet of phone. The EFBs typically show maps, airspace, approach and airport plates on a tablet.

The following EFBs can be connected.

  • ForeFlight
  • FlyQ EFB
  • AvPlan EFB (Australia)
  • Wing X Pro
  • SkyDemon

To send your TouchTrainer's simulated's position to your EFB from X-Plane, follow the steps below:
