Your briefings just got a lot more honest — and a lot more capable. • Real winds aloft: the nav log now uses actual FB forecast winds at your cruise altitude for groundspeed, time and fuel — not surface guesses • Best-altitude optimizer: compare time and fuel from 3,000 to 12,000 ft and fly the fastest one • Real terrain in the vertical profile: actual ridgelines between airports, with cruise-below-terrain warnings • Real FAA TFRs along your route, with an honest warning any time the scan can't complete • Weight & Balance meets your route: save a W&B, and your next briefing offers to use it — weight-adjusted cruise, fuel endurance and a 45-minute reserve check • Fixed vertical profile with real along-route distances, terrain warnings, cloud layers and winds • Export a complete briefing packet as a PDF • Bigger text + better contrast: a new Text Size setting scales the whole app, and on-screen text stays readable against every sky • Send feedback right from Settings — we're listening • NOTAMs, decoded: a clean, grouped digest of active NOTAMs — closures and restrictions first — right in your briefing • Home Screen widget: your home airport's flight category, wind and ceiling at a glance (add it from the widget gallery) • Dozens of accuracy fixes: no more invented weather values anywhere Fly safe out there.

• SkyBrief now asks for your permission before using device identifiers for ad measurement, in line with Apple's App Tracking Transparency • Behind-the-scenes improvements and bug fixes
