Hello Mr. Weather Radar!

We just released version 0.9.6 to production last night with a myriad of bug fixes and new features.

  • Weather Radar for both Canada and the USA. Previously we only had weather radar coverage for the US. Now we have the latest weather radar from Environment Canada on the map.
  • Low Level Airways. Low level airways for the USA are now displayed on the map.
  • More detailed route points. Clicking on waypoint markers on the map will give you some detail about that waypoint.

We’ve also fixed over 25 bugs since the last release and working hard to get version 1.0 out there! We extend our thanks to all the users who are submitting bug reports, keep them coming!
Some of the features we’re working on:

  • Weight and Balance. Flight planning is only half of the battle! You will be able to calculate w&b for your flight in the future.
  • Safety Enhancements.Tools to make decisions when it comes to diverting easier.
  • ICAO Flight Plans. Once you’re done planning, ‘one click print’ will allow you to print off your completed ICAO flight plans.
