Active Checklist v1.1 released

Now with WORLD airport database!

Please download on App Store

More information here

UPDATE: Turns out iOS never asks about  ‘Location Service’ for the app. You need to enable that for yourself in order for the app to work using GPS data.

In order to enable ‘Location Service’,
please tap on Settings->Privacy:IMG_0008

 

Then tap on ‘Location Services':

To change, tap on ‘Checklist’ then change to ‘While Using the App':

I’ll submit a new version to App Store as soon as this is fixed, but it will take a least a week before any updates show up.

 

Cycle 1506 Released

Now with international regions!
Select Africa, Asia, Canada, Europe, Mexico, Oceania and South America.
This will help to reduce the download size.

If you previously used Pacific for world charts, please unselect it.

International METARs

Posted on by

Since SkyCharts originally was written for USA the color coding for cloud coverage and flight conditions have only been tested with US METARS.

However, since international METARs can include CAVOK and 9999 the weather has been color coded incorrectly.

This will be fixed in v3.9 of the application, but since its not released yet when either of those words are included a fake entry of  ‘6SM SCT050′ are included at the end.

 

Cycle 1505 released

Posted on by

Now with world ONC coverage!
And new look – for missing coverage Stamen watercolor is used!

You also get world-wide METAR&TAF.

For this cycle, if you want to download the world maps, please select the Pacific region.

This will change once a new version of the app has been released, but for now if you want the data you’re looking at a hefty 3.2GB download.

If you double tap on the map, if not in USA you get some basic information about that airport.

Enjoy!

Feedback is welcome.
