Flight Deck EXEC

Flight Deck EXEC

Command Dashboard for X-Plane

Tap. Execute. Fly. Build unlimited dashboards of commands and folders for any aircraft and addon—live, zero-config, on iPad and iPhone.


Turn your device into a tactile control surface for X-Plane. EXEC ships with a huge, ready-to-use command database and lets you add your own. One tap sends real commands to the sim in real time.

  • Dashboards, your way. Arrange buttons and folders in a fast, gridded layout—color and icon included.

  • Folders for ops flows. Group related actions (e.g., Pushback, Ground, Radios) into focused mini-panels.

  • All the commands. Browse X-Plane + major plugins/aircraft. Add missing commands in seconds.
