Cycle 1111 released
Attention Alaska users, Aeronav has not released the updated ‘al_front_20OCT2011.pdf’ file yet so when you update/cache you get the previous version.
You can recache the data once the file has been released, please check the webpage.
Future release dates are posted here.
iOS5 update
Please remember:
If you update to iOS5 you MUST recache all data you need.
To make syncing faster the app saves into ‘Caches’ and that directory is NOT backed up. So after a software update you will have NO data cached.
Cycle 1110 released
Cycle 1109 released
For future chart releases please look up the dates here.
Breadcrumbs updated
New look, and more functionality.
Tracks are now deleted after 30 days.
Please let me know what you think.
Breadcrumbs are explained here.
Keep SkyCharts current
If the app complains about running an old version, or you get messages about updating please read this. Please update to the latest version on the AppStore. Application updates are free.
Cycle 1108 released
Now with both the front & back of the A/FD and IAP(TPP) pages.
Some other chart changes, more Alaska WAC charts for instance.

Cycle 1107 released
Now with automatic Area charts where they exist. Just zoom in and the low enroute chart will be replaced. Also fixed issue with overlap L2/L11.
You can look up future chart releases here.
IFR low enroute Area charts
A vote please: Let me know if you want IFR low enroute Area charts by default or after zooming in (to some level). Currently I’m leaning towards just using the Area charts (where they exist), it doesn’t seem to be that much difference from the low enroute charts but since I don’t fly in Area chart coverage areas I may be wrong.
Please let me know your preference. If there is enough interest I may also have the area charts as a separate chart type (like the TAC/FLY) charts. Again, as I don’t fly in area charts areas I really don’t know what YOU use.
