FltPlan.com Adds Features To FltPlan Go for iPhone

The latest release of FltPlan.com’s free FltPlan Go app for iPhone, version 4.0, has just hit the app store and now includes custom waypoints, approach plates on the map, and an external page displaying connectivity options.

Southbury, CT - May 16, 2016. The latest release of FltPlan.com's free FltPlan Go app for iPhone, version 4.0, has just hit the app store and now includes custom waypoints, approach plates on the map, and an external page displaying connectivity options.

Customizable waypoints allow pilots to define frequently flown Lat/Longs. Users have the ability to do this directly from the map and can simply rubber band the existing route to the specific point. Then, it can be defined as a waypoint with a personalized name and description. This new waypoint will then be shown on the route as it was named. With this new capability, pilots can create a route that is unique and more meaningful to them.

Another significant addition to FltPlan Go for iPhone is the viewing of approach plates directly on the map. The approach plate can be viewed over any background map, including Victor Lows, Jet Highs and Sectionals. This feature has options that allow for the viewing of Weather, METARs, and Winds directly over the approach plate, while being able to adjust the transparency of the approach plate for clear viewing of your selected base map. Most importantly, the route can be rubber banded right from the map so that the flight can be aligned with the approach path. This new addition, in return, enhances situational awareness when transitioning from the enroute phase to the approach phase of your flight.

FltPlan Go for iPhone's third new feature is the addition of the external page. With the external page, users have an abundance of options when choosing an ADS-B or avionics device to connect directly with their FltPlan Go app. FltPlan Go currently connects with six ADS-B receivers and continues to expand the list of avionics that are compatible with the apps. The latest additions include Avidyne's IFD540 and IFD440 FMS/GPS/NAV/COM system, L-3's Lynx NGT-9000 (all models), and the Dynon SVD1000T and the options are continuing to grow. With the freedom to choose a device that fits our users' needs, they are not locked into a subscription with limited options.

"Pilots can define frequently flown locations with a customizable waypoint directly on the map, can view their approach plate directly over any map layers, and have multiple connectivity options for ADS-B receivers and avionics devices alike" said Sarah Wilson, Principal and Director of New Technology and Business Development. "With these additions to the FltPlan Go app, the features that pilots are accustomed to having on the iPad are mirrored on the iPhone for access anytime, anywhere, no matter the device."
