Includes Georeferenced Airport Diagrams & Approach Procedure
iFlightPlanner for iPad v2.2, featuring the comprehensive set of georeferenced FAA airport diagrams and instrument approach procedures, is now available for download from the App Store.
As part of this release, the iFlightPlanner crew developed its own, proprietary georeferencing process so that when viewed as standalone documents, iFlightPlanner for iPad could provide the georeferenced airport diagrams and approach procedures in their original PDF format - fully leveraging the pinch and zoom capabilities of the iPad with crystal clear readability at any zoom level.
The georeferenced functionality is accessible throughout iFlightPlanner for iPad and includes its split-screen view which can be easily placed over iFlightPlanner’s seamless VFR and IFR charts with a single tap of the "Map It" button. Pilots can then use the intuitive mini-menu to quickly search for and switch between other diagrams or approach procedures and adjust the transparency of each.
iFlightPlanner says that anytime you see the aircraft icon in either the Airport/Facility directory or mini-menu, that document is available to you as a georeferenced product when GPS is enabled on your device.
The georeferenced airport diagrams and approach procedures are available to iFlightPlanner Premium Plus members, a new membership level introduced to give pilots flying with iFlightPlanner for iPad greater functionality. Premium Plus annual memberships may be purchased for only $119.99 through August (reg. $139.99).
