v1.6 The "Precision & Safety" Update. Focusing on accurate wind gust reporting and strict adherence to FAA/ICAO ceiling definitions to give you the most reliable picture for go/no-go decisions. New Features • Wind Gusts: Gusts are now displayed (e.g., 15 G 25 kt) and highlighted in orange. • Gust-Aware Crosswind: Calculations now use gust speed for worst-case scenarios. Improvements & Fixes • Correct Ceiling Reporting: Now identifies the lowest BKN, OVC, or VV layer as the true ceiling, per FAA/ICAO definitions. • Wind Direction Label: Compass direction (e.g., "270° W") is now displayed below the speed. • Weather Colors: Conditions are color-coded (Orange for TS, Cyan for Snow, Blue for Rain).

You asked, and we coded. This major update introduces full Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts (TAF) with an interactive timeline to visualize changing conditions. • Introducing TAF Forecasts! FlyCheck now includes full Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts. We've designed an interactive timeline that lets you see how the weather is predicted to change, hour by hour. • METAR/TAF Toggle: A new segmented control allows you to instantly switch between the current METAR instruments and the TAF forecast timeline, creating a cleaner and more focused interface. Improvements: • Accurate Forecasts: The new TAF timeline automatically highlights the currently active forecast period, so you always know which conditions apply right now. • Decluttered UI: The main dashboard has been streamlined by moving weather conditions into a dedicated instrument card and removing redundant information from the header. • Polished Runway Controls: The runway selector in the Wind Card now has a dedicated "clear" button for a more intuitive experience.

v1.4: The Cockpit Control Update We've refined the flight deck based on pilot feedback. This update focuses on workflow speed and keeping your hands on the controls. NEW FEATURES: Keyboard Navigation: Keep your hands on the yoke. Use Cmd + Option + Arrow Keys (Left/Right) to instantly cycle through your watchlist airports without opening the menu. Clear Watchlist: Added a dedicated button in Settings to instantly reset your monitored stations. Smart Tooltips: Added helpful hover context to the watchlist and refresh icons. IMPROVEMENTS: Watchlist Engine: Optimized polling performance for multi-station tracking. Visual Polish: Refined layout spacing for the "Airport Signage" typography. REMINDER: FlyCheck is a Lifetime License. No subscriptions, ever. If you enjoy the update, a quick star rating helps us keep the updates coming!

• Multi-Station Watchlist: Track destination and alternates in a high-contrast list. Menu bar icon monitors the most critical station. • Density Altitude Monitor: Real-time DA calculations are now displayed on the Temperature card, helping you catch performance risks early. • Refined UI: Cleaner "Airport Signage" typography and improved dark mode contrast. • Intelligent Unit Switching: Auto-toggle between inHg (North America) and hPa (International) based on ICAO prefixes. • Visual Crosswind: Real-time headwind and crosswind calculations integrated directly into the visual wind instrument.

Focusing on time-critical situational awareness with solar calculations and standardized timing. Adaptive Theme: Fixed. The UI now automatically switches between Light and Dark modes to match your system setting. (Thanks Janie) The Twilight Line: Context-aware countdown to sunset and civil twilight (-6° solar angle). Know exactly when to start your night log. Zulu Time Standard: Added a one-tap toggle to the timestamp. Click "Last Updated" to instantly switch the interface to official Zulu time (e.g., "Observed: 14:00Z") for briefing alignment. Clean Cockpit UI: We’ve decluttered the dashboard header, removing redundant icons in favor of a cleaner, text-forward design that prioritizes legibility. Refined Typography: Station names and weather conditions now rely on distinct font weights rather than iconography, and the Twilight countdown has been streamlined. Scientific Precision: We replaced manual calculations with Apple’s native physics engine. Whether you use Knots or MPH, hPa or inHg, every conversion is now handled by the Measurement API for certified accuracy. Standardized Readouts: We’ve unified rounding logic across the board (no more "off-by-one" errors) and enforced aviation-standard formatting (e.g., 29.92) regardless of your Mac’s region settings. Contextual Discovery: Tooltips on the Search and Refresh buttons will display their shortcuts (⌘F and ⌘R), teaching you the fastest path to each action right when you need it. Empty State Onboarding: The start screen will include a subtle shortcut footer—a quiet space to surface power-user tips when no active report is displayed. One-Tap Reset: A Close (X) button appears in the header when viewing a report, clearing both the displayed data and cached persistence with a single click. The app returns to the Start Screen and automatically focuses the search field, eliminating the multi-step dance of returning to a fresh state.
