Automatically display airport diagram when on ground (give user choice if they want this or not).
Larger/customizable flight data readout.
Fix copy/paste issue. Build database for approach plates vs fixes.
Add MPH.
Make it easy to add holds: left/right and time or distance.
Link A/FD to tower enroute control (SoCal for instance)
Add international fixes so all low&high enroute charts can be added.
Quick select list of favorite airports/IAPs.
Import other flight planner waypoints somehow.
Add dimmer for night flying.
List frequencies for ATC in your region.
Add lock for inadvertent touches.
CAP search pattern
Save/Restore routes
Easy user select of custom waypoints on charts.
VOR check data from A/FD
Manually geo-reference approach plates and airport/taxi diagrams
Add obstacle data and highlight obstacles close by
Show navigation data on approach plate

FYI: If you have an iPod touch or an iPad wifi, you can get GPS location in a couple of ways.

These products work well:

http://www.amazon.com/GNS-5870…..B004289ZW0
http://www.amazon.com/Dual-Ele…..038;sr=8-1

You can also jailbreak your device and add an inexpensive GPS bluetooth receiver.
For the iPod touch the RoqyBT reportedly works.
For the iPad wifi the BTstack reportedly works.

FYI: You loose your warranty if you jail-break. Please be careful!
