What's New in Racetrack
2.1
October 9, 2026
- Lessons, drills and quiz explanations now match AIM 5-3-8, including which side of the holding course each entry arrives from. - Corrected quiz answers: 230 knots maximum from 6,001 to 14,000 feet, outbound timing from over or abeam the fix, holding bank angle, the six parts of a holding clearance, and the reports on reaching a holding fix. - Wind correction in the quiz and Lesson 7 now crabs into the wind and triples the correction to the opposite side outbound, as AIM 5-3-8 describes. The Wind tab's arithmetic now matches the crab it shows. - New lesson notes on the non-holding side and on headings near a sector line. - VoiceOver reads every diagram and moves to your result when it appears. - Every screen works at the largest accessibility text sizes. - Higher-contrast labels on the diagrams, and larger tap targets. - Animations and transitions follow Reduce Motion. - The side panels scroll on iPad and in landscape, and titles no longer show through the iPad tab bar. - The Privacy Policy and Support links now open. - Your best Entry Trainer streak is saved. - New: More from AutoPilot, and share Racetrack from your quiz results.
