FLY EFB 1.4 FROM SEATTLE AVIONICS NOW AVAILABLE FROM THE APP STORE

FlyQ EFB, the #1 rated iPad aviation app, updated with more than 10 major new features

Seattle Avionics Software today announced that FlyQ EFB version 1.4.3 for the iPad is now available from the Apple App Store. The previous version of FlyQ EFB was the highest-rated major aviation iPad app in the App Store with 4.5 out of 5 stars. New FlyQ EFB 1.4 is a major release that adds distance/bearing measurements with Terrain X-Ray(TM), time and distance rings, CAP search grids, larger aircraft markers, support for four additional ADS-B receivers (for a total of nine), latitude/longitude data entry, the full FAA Airport Facilities Directory (A/FD), user-customizable extended course line, and user-selectable units of measurement for speeds, weights, fuel, and more. It also has many performance and stability improvements, especially for IFR pilots and iPad 2 / iPad mini users. It's fully optimized for iOS 8 and also works on iOS 6 and 7.

FlyQ EFB 1.4 is the first FlyQ EFB version released under the Seattle Avionics name. Seattle Avionics designed, developed, and has always owned FlyQ EFB, but previous versions were marketed under the AOPA brand through a cooperative marketing agreement that has now expired. "FlyQ EFB was already the top-rated iPad app on the market and we think we knocked it out of the park with this new 1.4 release," said Steve Podradchik, Seattle Avionics CEO. "You're about to see rapid innovation for both the product itself and its marketing; version 1.4 is just the warm-up."

FlyQ EFB has featured many "firsts" for the iPad including the Preflight Checklist, graphical download manager, graphical wind optimizer, and much more. The new Terrain X-Ray feature in FlyQ EFB 1.4 is another Seattle Avionics innovation for the iPad. Similar to some other apps, pilots use two fingers to calculate the distance and bearing between two points. But then Terrain X-Ray goes much further and shows, directly on the map, the profile of the terrain between those points and color-codes danger areas as red or yellow. FlyQ EFB also calculates the amount of time and fuel required to fly between the points given winds at your current altitude.
