Worldwide Charts From Skyvector, Debriefing Stabilized Approach, Flights List New Look And Features, And More
CloudAhoy has released version 5.0 of its app. The company says this is a major release of the flight debriefing product that includes many new features and enhancements which substantially increases its value for pilots, students and instructors. Those new features include significant enhancements to the flight analyzer with specific focus on debriefing approach stability, major enhancements to the flights list, integration with aviation charts from SkyVector, and many other features and usability improvements.
"Technology is a such a critically important component of flying nowadays. We use technology in flight planning and in the cockpit, it is a natural extension to use technology for post-flight debrief, and benefit from its tremendous power available in our digital age” says Chuck Shavit, the founder and CEO of CloudAhoy. “Being able to review my flights in an environment conducive to learning, and get objective and quantitative data is highly effective”.
To review approaches - arguably the most important segment in any flights - the new release makes it extremely easy to find the approach segments, which are automatically identified by the analyzer: with one click or tap the user can display the segment’s information in graph and numerical form, see at a glance how stabilized the approach was, and then dive into the details.
The new release includes worldwide aviation charts by SkyVector for VFR and IFR (lo / hi). This is big news to CloudAhoy’s international users who can now debrief with aviation charts - CloudAhoy is committed to provide debrief capabilities for pilots around the world on par with those in the US. US pilots, who already had aviation charts before, will notice an increase speed of the charts. The SkyVector charts are high quality and get updated every 28 days.
The flights list has been redesigned with a new look, and has new features for managing a large number of flights. There is a new search feature for all flights based on name, airport, etc. The advanced analysis section displays a list of all the maneuvers flown in that flight, automatically generated by the analyzer. Each flight’s pilot names can be assigned roles such as student, CFI, safety pilot, etc. There is a thumbnail for quick reference, and more.
