SkyCharts

Now with even sharper charts, a digital filter removes some of the scanning artifacts found in the sectional/WAC&TAC charts.
Next release is May 31. Please look up all future releases here.

Should hopefully not affect anything, but if you do notice some broken links or the server seems unresponsive please just reset your device to get the new DNS.
Please see Q1 in the FAQ how to reset your device.

Are now working again. Sorry for the downtime, but the wp plugins just stopped working and finally got around fixing them.

Moved the FAQ & todo over from the old server

With retina display support! Charts look really sharp on the new iPad. Enjoy.

If you start/suspend&resume the app it should ask you to update – please let it.
Next cycle 1205 is May 3rd. Please look up any other future chart release dates here.

Enjoy.

If you have any questions or comments, please see Contact above.

If you’re wondering, yes, for you who have the latest iPad you will enjoy even crisper charts once the next version is out! The A/FD and approach plates already show correctly on a retina display device.

Now with reversed overlap LA/SF, as discussed here.
The next cycle is April 5. All cycles can be found here.

Enjoy. As usual, for any questions or concerns, please see the contact tab.

It came to my attention that the ROM (VOR) and KC80 airports have very little data on the Los Angeles sectional chart. The aviation data exist on the San Francisco sectional, but the way SkyCharts ‘stitch’ the charts, LA now wins.

I then tried the opposite, and ROM looks better, but then Porterville loose information.

Please comment on which way you prefer.

Of course, the best solution would be for FAA to add the data on the LA chart as well, please email them at 9-AMC-Aerochart@faa.gov

This is what the charts look like now:

And this is what having San Francisco ‘win’ looks like:

As usual FAA/Aeronav didn’t test all contents. One file has still not been updated, if you use the STEWY ONE (RNAV) at KACK please wait to update until the file has been updated (who knows how long this will take though). For now you get the 1201 version, not the 1202.

For future chart releases, check the dates here.

The release now contains the AREA chart for Washington. It was previously missing. If you notice a chart missing that you think should be there please let me know.

Download payloads now also have more average size. In previous cycles the last file could be a lot larger. Having a more even size should help especially on DSL or 3G/Edge networks.

Please also check the important post about Alaska charts here.

Update (2/12/12): All files have now been updated. If you need the updated version of 00659STEWY.PDF, please un-select, then re-select the US_NE region and let the app download it again.
