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

Next cycle, 1111 will most likely be available right when it will expire, as Aeronav now want to charge for early access:
“Effective October 20 2011: Next Editions will be available 24 hours prior to their effective dates.”

You can look up future chart cycles 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.

 

US South Central Region update

Turns out there was a chart overlap issue in 1105 (due to the new FAA low enroute IFR charts). If you cached this region, and you can’t see the updated charts, please do this:
1. Unselect the US South Central Region. Tap on Start. The checkmark should go away.
2. Re-select the US South Central Region. Tap on Start. The app will ask if you really want to download again. Tap OK. Once region has been downloaded, you’re good to go.

Please let me know if there are any other issues with the new IFR charts.
