PilotDeck

PilotDeck 4.0 — the map flies with you. FLY IT — the route map becomes a navigation display • GPS mode: own-ship, N UP / TRK UP, DTG · ETE · ETA · NEXT, track vector, range rings • NRST — nearest airports from your position, direct-to line, FIX on any point • Local flights open at the departure airport, 8 NM across; long routes open with the whole route • PTS: all plan points on the line, named ones only, or none OFFLINE MAP • PACK stores map tiles along the route on the device; in the air without network the map keeps drawing — plan, alternates, countries, SIGMET, own-ship TRACK RECORDING • REC writes your flight to the device: position, speed, altitude, fix quality, every second • TRACKS — replay, merge, trim, name, export GPX / CSV; nothing leaves the phone unless you share it • GNSS spoofing and jamming detector; auto-stop that does not fall for a frozen fake position ROUTE BY KEYBOARD • FPLN — type or paste your route: airports, VORs, NDBs, radials, coordinates in every common form; OFP text is understood • NAVLOG table, plan versions, UNDO / REDO, points without coordinates kept as PENDING FIX DATABASE — five-letter points get their coordinates • FAA CIFP on board: every enroute and terminal waypoint of the USA, Alaska, Hawaii and the Pacific, 28-day cycle • A worldwide layer of older fixes, marked so you check them • One name in several places? The list turns amber and offers the choice with coordinates, region and bearing — as an FMS does • Points you enter with coordinates go to a shared database; confirmed by three pilots, they become VERIFIED for everyone. Reference data, not for navigation MY POINTS · MY ZONES — for light aviation • Your own airfields, navaids and landmarks on the map and in FLIGHT INIT • Airspace zones entered the way the AIP prints them; names along the boundary, limits in the same line • ZONES page: which zones the plan crosses, CHECK against NOTAM; WATCH marks a zone to keep out of — AHEAD / INSIDE warning five minutes before the track vector reaches it • Zones are your own data, not an official source — read the limits yourself STATION SCREEN • New header: local time at the airport, elevation, longest runway — tap it for the coordinates • AIR BASE, HELIPORT, CLOSED, no scheduled service, soft runway — marked in amber; high-elevation airfields flagged from 5,000 ft • METAR: minimum visibility shown on its own line; the flight category follows the prevailing visibility, as the FAA defines it FLIGHT INIT · BRIEFING • FLIGHT INIT redesigned in FMS order: flight ribbon, ROUTE, TIMING, alternates, minima; DEP / ARR clock, ETD in local or UTC • Route cards show ETD · flight time · ETA, and NO TAF when there is no forecast • ALTN in the route builder: airports on a muted map filtered by runway length, with weather at your arrival time • Briefing verdict counted for the arrival window and your own minima • SIGMET names along the boundary, readable card with the whole message PERFORMANCE • The route map opens faster and runs cooler in GPS mode: fewer redraws, background work trimmed • Fixed a hang when leaving the map; the weather refresh is lighter when you come back to the app • Cards fit smaller iPhones Much of this release came from pilots flying with PilotDeck — special thanks to Capt Adil Baria.
