Good find. Thanks!

Finally some good aviation software comes to BlackBerry!

Just downloaded on my Bold and then downloaded the databases, both the airports and the AOPA info.

The airport database was about 5 mb and the AOPA database was about 19 mb. I downloaded over WiFi so it wouldn't take as long.

So far just browsing around it's not bad. Interface is nothing flashy, but that makes everything load fast.

I think this will really come in handy, especially having it stored on my SD card instead of having to download the info whenever you need it.

Sweet now all we need is Co-Pilot for flight planning! I have been using the AOPA app for my iPhone as an AFD for a while now and its awesome. I am gonna download it for my Bold.

Did you have any trouble downloading the airport databases? For some reason I keep getting a download error. Please let me know if you have any solutions.

I had no trouble but I did it over wifi, give that a shot.
