Landing Zone: Helicopter Ops

Version 1.1: smarter destination planning, a faster map, enhanced features, more NOTAM accessibility, alternate location with one tougch! PLAN FROM ANYWHERE - From Here: tap any pin, record or map point and every search is measured from that spot instead of your GPS. Pre-plan the closest appropriate hospital from a patient's pickup location before you launch. - Nationwide certification search: Trauma, Stroke, Burn and Cardiac now search every verified facility in the country, across state lines and beyond the states loaded on your device. - Alternates, reimagined: tap ALT and the map clears to show every option as a numbered card with heading, distance, identifiers and landing surface. The closest facility is #1, and one tap on any card opens the full record. - Alternates for every chip: Trauma, Stroke, Burn, Cardiac and Nearest (hospital, PELA or base) each rank the next-closest options, not just the first. - Direct To on every alternate: pin any option instantly for live bearing and distance. KNOW BEFORE YOU LAND - Landing surface everywhere: HELIPAD, NO PAD and PAD UNVERIFIED badges on the map, in search results, on alternates and in every list, so you know when ground transport will be needed. - Record your own: group guide records can now be marked Helipad or No Pad, shared with your whole group. - Crew-reported certifications: when a crew reports a change to a hospital's designation, it appears right beside the verified value, clearly labeled User Reported, in the directory, the group guide and on the map. - Map NOTAMs: long-press anywhere on the map to post a NOTAM for a spot that isn't a landing zone, such as a new tower, a crane or a temporary hazard. It appears for everyone nearby and is managed right from the map. BRIEF AND SHARE - Location Briefing Sheets: generate a printable PDF for any pin or record, with coordinates, contact details, certifications, landing surface and nearby community NOTAMs. - Briefing links open straight into the app at the exact location. - Printed guides now include community NOTAMs, with cleaner columns for long names. - Avionics export now includes locations with ICAO identifiers, for more complete flight plan and waypoint files. FIND IT FASTER - One search bar everywhere: your group guide first, then the directory for your subscribed states, then places, with clear labels showing where each result came from. - Choose a reference location in the guide and directory using that same search: guide records, directory facilities or any address. - Search results now include private heliports, airports and offshore platforms. - Pin to Map: open any record's map full screen, or send it straight to the main map with one tap. SIMPLER TO USE - Cleaner, simplified menus: the tools you use most sit up front, and everything else is one tap away in a single menu that adapts to portrait and landscape. - eNIFOG and the directory are now in the shared top bar on every tab. A FASTER, SMOOTHER MAP - Dramatically faster when zoomed out over multiple states. - Your location is ready sooner. The map uses its first fix immediately, and certification searches work the moment your position appears. - New thumb-reachable zoom buttons, built for gloves and turbulence. SUBSCRIPTIONS - Change plans in the app: downgrade, choose the states to keep, or cancel a pending change, all without leaving Landing Zone. DATA YOU CAN TRUST - Directory corrections across many states, including hospital names, helipad locations, landing surfaces and base records. - Plus stability improvements, faster searching across nearly 18,000 locations, and many refinements throughout. Thank you for flying with Landing Zone. Keep the reports coming. Every correction you send makes the directory better for every crew.
