FlightScore

This update builds on the native iOS app with better preflight planning, cockpit decision support, and official weather products — plus a long list of reliability fixes for maps and offline use. Plan with AI Describe a trip in plain English (“KPAO to KTRK Saturday in my plane, stop every 2 hours, avoid mountains”). FlightScore proposes ranked routes with fuel stops, winds-based cruise altitudes, and personal-minimums checks at each stop. Optimize for fewest stops, fuel burn, or estimated fuel cost (AirNav prices when available). You approve before anything is saved. Cockpit that works when it matters • Cold-start offline: open Cockpit on airplane mode with cached trips, frequencies, checklists, and map tiles • Score delta under the risk ring — see what improved or worsened since the last score • Glide-range ring and best-field chip (from your aircraft glide ratio — verify against your POH; advisory only) • Live nav strip: next fix, bearing, distance, ETE, and cross-track • Optional spoken callouts for risk-band changes, TAF divergence, and “close your VFR flight plan” on landing • Active/standby comm scratch pad with flip-flop • Swipe-up glances and smoother Live Activity / Dynamic Island risk tint Departure timing & overnight alerts Hourly risk timeline around your ETD so you can pick a better launch window. Optional night-before notification when assessed risk drops a band for an upcoming flight. Official weather charts & hazard layers • NOAA/AWC product gallery on the briefing WX tab (surface prog, convective outlook, icing, turbulence, G-AIRMETs, QPF, satellite, and more), timed to your ETD and route • Icing (CIP/FIP) and turbulence (GTG) map overlays at cruise pressure level when model tiles are available • NEXRAD play/pause on the newest frame, Class E surface areas, clearer layer status chips • More reliable METARs, TFRs, SIGMETs, wind barbs, offline airspace packs, and chart tiles as you pan and zoom Planning accuracy & safety helpers • VFR flight-plan lifecycle tracker (Not Filed → Filed → Active → Closed) • IFR alternate-leg fuel in required fuel (FAR 91.167-aware) • Equipment / PBN route compatibility check • Smarter POH cruise fuel interpolation, CG travel along the route, and mass/volume unit preferences • Personal minimums linked more clearly to FRAT and What-if Also improved • Waypoints manager (groups, map-first create, cleaner KML import) • More reliable ForeFlight, Garmin .fpl, and GPX exports for custom pins • AI route weather summary for quick preflight context • Dark-theme widgets and Live Activity navy polish • Launch reliability, deep links, paywall, and Watch fixes New pilots: every new signup gets a 14-day full Premium trial (then free tier unless you subscribe).
