PilotDeck 4.5 - plan a route by eye and fly it with a big NEXT line. Every pilot feature stays free, always. US airways expand from the FAA database: LAX J60 BLD becomes the fixes between them ROUTE MAP - BUILD BY TAPS - Layers on the map: MY points, VOR and NDB, fixes, US airways, your zones. Only what can be read at this zoom - WPT mode: hold a point or the map and it goes into the route in order, with a cursor that shows where the next one lands. MOVE, DEL, UNDO and REDO - The route is solid magenta as on an FMS. FIT frames the whole route, including a round trip from your home field - Zones: tap for the card with limits, CHECK asks the NOTAM. A leg through an active restricted or danger zone turns red, flashes once and is named in the header. Above or below the zone - amber only FPLN - COORDINATES THE FMS WAY - A CDU keypad in the Honeywell layout, capitals only, with a cursor you can place on any digit - Type coordinates as one word (N3402.1W11723.3), ARINC five-character (5724N), place radial distance (PDZ 091 45), two radials, along-track (CIVET -10) - or paste them as they are from an OFP or AIP - Every leg shows bearing, distance and time at the GS from INIT. The header shows the total time IN FLIGHT (GPS) - NEXT, big and magenta: the point ahead, its bearing, distance, time and ETA, with the leg flown as a bar and the point after it - Off the bearing by more than 5 degrees - an amber turn hint. Thirty seconds before the point - the turn to the next one - Courses are magnetic, by the nearest VOR - A restricted or danger zone active by NOTAM on your vector up to 10 NM ahead: red banner, three low tones and a strong vibration, again at 2 NM. A CTR or ATZ ahead: a cyan clearance note - Sunset at the destination and a warning when your ETA is after it. When REC stops, a flight log card - NAV folds the big panel into one NEXT line, MORE folds the rarely used keys ALSO - US airways expand from the FAA database: LAX J60 BLD becomes the fixes between them - Your own airfield gets local time from the nearest station - Fixed: a crash on a round-trip briefing, a crash after DEL in FPLN, a station that could stop updating at the turn of the month

PilotDeck 4.4 - the briefing becomes a document: PDF like an OFP, SIGMET on the map, wind on the real runway layout, Vapp for the runway in use. Free, like everything else. BRIEFING AS A PDF - PDF in the briefing header, three pages, not thirty: the aerodromes of the flight with their runways and the NOTAMs on each runway, DECISION and RISKS, route points with bearing, distance and ETO, the countries crossed with entry and exit times, METAR and TAF, the runway picture with the wind and a table for every runway end (best in green, tailwind in red, Vapp), the TAF timeline as a strip, a NOTAM summary with your own marks and notes, SIGMET cards with the map and the words - SHARE it anywhere or SAVE TO DOCS: the briefing of the moment stays with the flight SIGMET - A piece of map right in the row: the zone, the FIR, the aerodromes of the flight, three arrows showing where it moves; tap to enlarge - Enter the cruising level in INIT and every SIGMET is sorted against it: at your level, in the climb or descent, or OUTSIDE YOUR LEVEL and dimmed - Severe icing, turbulence, volcanic ash and tropical cyclone carry a SEVERE plate; duplicates from the feed are folded into one WIND AND RUNWAYS - The real runway layout of each aerodrome with the wind, the best threshold marked, and the wind triangle drawn by the rule of vector addition - TAF or METAR as the source, per aerodrome; pick the runway yourself, in the table or by tapping the picture, and the plan remembers it - Tailwind over 10 kt: LANDING NOT POSSIBLE; strong wind and gusts called out - Enter VREF in INIT and get Vapp for the runway in use: FIXED plus 5, Boeing, Airbus or your own CUSTOM rule in MY MINIMA TAF TIMELINE - Rebuilt on the full forecast: every step in its own column with LVTO, LVP and BELOW-MIN tags, the phenomenon in words; the station trend and category now take the worst of the whole TAF, not the first group ROUTE CARD - One line of what is wrong with the flight (SIGMET SEVERE, RWY UNSERVICEABLE, APPROACH UNSERVICEABLE, MIN RAISED, LVTO, BELOW MIN, TAILWIND, CROSSWIND, WIND, GUSTS), judged at ETD and ETA; tap a tag and the briefing opens at that section - Annunciator dots on BRIEF, MAP and INIT, like on the Global: dark is fine, amber needs attention, red is a problem; the ROUTES header takes the colour of the worst one - Two long plates, BRIEF MAP INIT and ALRT PACK, and the aerodrome names in one type under the codes NOTAM - HONEST RED - Runway lights unserviceable no longer paints the runway closed: lighting, PAPI, approach lights, signs and markings are amber RWY LGT; ILS and DME go to NAVAID; a minimum raised by less than 50 ft is amber MINIMA PLUS; RVR unserviceable has its own label; cranes and obstacles are never critical - Station card: the NOTAM panel in two levels, red only for what can stop you landing, and NOTES in one line; long-press RWY for feet or metres FLIGHT INIT - REF in the header, six ICAO languages: how the date works without a month, the two clocks, DIST, TIME, GS, FL and VREF, the Vapp methods and how to set a CUSTOM one - The tiles in one housing, values centred; a cancelled keypad no longer leaves dashes in TIME and GS - MY MINIMA with its own REF: why the minima matter and where the app uses them AND - METAR remarks RAE18, TSB05E30, TS DSIPTD and P0000 decoded - Tracks, airport documents and expense cards in the same housing as the header plates

PilotDeck 4.3 — your documents on every airport and flight, your marks on NOTAMs. Free, like everything else. DOCS — ATTACH ANYTHING • Every airport and every flight now carries its own documents: photos from the gallery, a shot from the camera, PDFs and files from the Files app • SCAN — the document camera finds the edges, straightens the page and turns several pages into one PDF: the OFP, a crew list, a handling invoice • Open, share and delete from one list; the card shows "DOCS 3 · 4.2 MB" so you see what is there before you tap • Documents of a flight sit in its briefing under NOTES, next to the flight note NOTAM — YOUR OWN MARKS • MARK any NOTAM with a star: it goes to the top of the list, the MARKED chip filters to your marks only, the briefing counts them on the NOTAM row • Write your own note on a NOTAM — "closed stand, use C5" — and a NOTE tag on the row tells you it is there • Marks are kept per aerodrome and clear themselves when the NOTAM is withdrawn FORECAST • The forecast reference rewritten for the current screen: what each card and curve means, the AVN key opens the aviation block first • Rain by the hour as one strip — hour, icon, probability, millimetres, wet hours highlighted — and the same twelve hours on the probability curve • AVIATION · NEXT 24H: QNH by the hour, amber when it is falling fast STATION CARD • A TAF that lapses in the next three hours, or has lapsed, says so on the name line: "TAF 2h", "TAF EXP" • Vertical visibility with its unit: "VV 200 ft" ROUTES AND BRIEFING • The briefing scrolls smoothly on long routes — the calculations are done once, not on every frame • TXT S / M / L / XL — the font step is written on the key • Changing DEP or DEST on a flight with a built route: CLEAR ROUTE / KEEP / UNDO instead of a silent loss • Route builder: the globe from afar, a flat map below 2 000 km THE LOOK • Every screen header is now one instrument plate — BACK, the title, TXT and REF as zones of one housing, the way an FMS draws its soft keys • Both shortcut keys on the main screen take any tool or any game from one list; long-press to assign • The clock reads "06:23Z • 09:23" Weather, NOTAMs, routes, tracks, notes and documents stay free — no account, no subscription needed for any of this. The NOTAM marks and notes are the idea of Capt Adil Baria, Global 6000 — he asked for a way to keep his own reading of a NOTAM next to the NOTAM itself. Thank you.

PilotDeck 4.2 — the North Atlantic tracks, live. Free, like everything else. NAT ORGANISED TRACKS (OTS) • Today's tracks on the route map: letters, direction (A ◀W, U E▶), one chevron along each, white in force and dimmed before their period — from the FAA NMS feed, refreshed every ten minutes • The message for YOUR direction comes first; when it is not out yet the map says so — "E▶ not out yet · Gander ~1400Z" — instead of showing the other way's tracks as if they were yours • A status line over the keys: "E▶ TMI 280 STARTS IN 2h 15m · 0100–0800Z · ENTRY 0539Z TMI 280" — counting down by the minute • NAT key in the left column: both directions, yesterday's message (PREV, orientation only), the areas on your route with entry and exit times, the checklists • Tap a track letter: the route as filed, levels, NAR, length, and whether your plan follows it. Tap an area title: entry and exit, the OTS of both directions, the pilot notes • Random routes are told honestly: "RANDOM ROUTE — OTS LIES N · NEAREST TRACK Z 410 NM" — a Bogotá–Porto flight runs 500 NM south of every track, and that is normal • TMI with its letter (279A) when a message is re-issued OCEANIC AREA NOTES — FROM THE SERVER, NOT A RELEASE • For each OCA: whether it still issues an oceanic clearance (Shanwick) or has moved to OCR, where "RCL RECEIVED" is not a clearance (Gander, Reykjavik, Santa Maria, New York, Bodø since 4 Dec 2024) • Clearance-delivery and HF frequencies, data-link logon and timing, SELCAL, reporting, SLOP, communication failure — with the AIP sections and AIRAC dates • Lines not confirmed from an official source are marked UNVERIFIED in amber. Notes are refreshed on the server with each AIRAC cycle; the AIP and the OTS message remain the authority TWO CHECKLISTS WITH TICK BOXES • FLIGHT — the approvals of the aircraft and the flight, once per route • ENTRY — the actions before each area, worded the way that area requires • Ticks are kept on the phone per route and area; RESET for the next flight. The NAT card sums them up: FLIGHT 4/4 · KZWY 2/4 · LPPO 0/4 THE BRIEFING • The NAT HLA card shows the OTS in force at your oceanic entry, the verdict on your plan and, when your direction is not published, yesterday's message for orientation MAP — STABILITY AND READING • Fixed: the route map ran out of memory on long oceanic routes and on return from the background. Zones now draw only when you are close enough to see them; the globe stays on the overview, the map goes flat below 2 000 km • Fixed: the country column could miss the destination country • Cards and LAYERS rows in higher contrast; cards scroll, MORE opens them full screen with the font-size key • The offline map now draws the oceanic areas and today's tracks, renders one zoom level deeper along the track, and shows "NO PACK TILE" where the pack ends • First run: satellite style, a clean map; the intro plays once, then a plate tells you where it lives • MAP REF: contents with jump links, a NAT · OCEANIC section, a TOP key Weather, NOTAMs, routes, the tracks and the notes stay free — no account, no subscription needed for any of this. Much of this release follows the letters of Capt Adil Baria, Global 6000 — the route by keyboard, the alternates, the oceanic page all started as his questions. Thank you. The feedback form in the app reaches the developer directly.

PilotDeck 4.1 — oceanic, your own notes, new alert sounds. NAT HLA · OCEANIC • Briefing shows when your route goes oceanic: Shanwick, Gander, Reykjavik, Bodø, Santa Maria, New York East — entry and exit in miles and UTC time • Pilot checklist under it: HLA and RVSM approvals, CPDLC / ADS-C mandate, oceanic clearance, SLOP, HF / SATCOM • OCN layer on the route map draws the oceanic areas with names • Boundaries from the national AIPs (AIRAC 2610), NAT HLA per NAT Doc 007 — reference, not for navigation AIRPORT NOTES • Your own text on any airport: stands, procedures, FBO, phone numbers • Shown on the station screen and in the briefing for departure, destination and alternates • Stored on your device only ALERT SOUNDS • Three new low, soft sounds: weather improving, weather getting worse, and hazard — thunderstorm, windshear, LVP, fog, drop to LIFR, observed or forecast • You hear what happened before you look at the screen WEATHER • "ISA +20" instead of "Hot day": deviation from standard atmosphere at field elevation, so 19 °C at Bogotá no longer reads as a contradiction • TAF: vertical visibility (VV002) decoded and counted as ceiling • METAR: wind-at-height remark (WIND 1400FT 18010KT) decoded • Fog, mist and haze get their own icon in the TAF decode FLIGHT INIT • Deleting a flight with its alternates now works on the first tap Thank you to the pilots who keep writing to us — every line here started as a request.

PilotDeck 4.0 — the map flies with you. FLY IT — the route map becomes a navigation display • GPS mode: own-ship, N UP / TRK UP, DTG · ETE · ETA · NEXT, track vector, range rings • NRST — nearest airports from your position, direct-to line, FIX on any point • Local flights open at the departure airport, 8 NM across; long routes open with the whole route • PTS: all plan points on the line, named ones only, or none OFFLINE MAP • PACK stores map tiles along the route on the device; in the air without network the map keeps drawing — plan, alternates, countries, SIGMET, own-ship TRACK RECORDING • REC writes your flight to the device: position, speed, altitude, fix quality, every second • TRACKS — replay, merge, trim, name, export GPX / CSV; nothing leaves the phone unless you share it • GNSS spoofing and jamming detector; auto-stop that does not fall for a frozen fake position ROUTE BY KEYBOARD • FPLN — type or paste your route: airports, VORs, NDBs, radials, coordinates in every common form; OFP text is understood • NAVLOG table, plan versions, UNDO / REDO, points without coordinates kept as PENDING FIX DATABASE — five-letter points get their coordinates • FAA CIFP on board: every enroute and terminal waypoint of the USA, Alaska, Hawaii and the Pacific, 28-day cycle • A worldwide layer of older fixes, marked so you check them • One name in several places? The list turns amber and offers the choice with coordinates, region and bearing — as an FMS does • Points you enter with coordinates go to a shared database; confirmed by three pilots, they become VERIFIED for everyone. Reference data, not for navigation MY POINTS · MY ZONES — for light aviation • Your own airfields, navaids and landmarks on the map and in FLIGHT INIT • Airspace zones entered the way the AIP prints them; names along the boundary, limits in the same line • ZONES page: which zones the plan crosses, CHECK against NOTAM; WATCH marks a zone to keep out of — AHEAD / INSIDE warning five minutes before the track vector reaches it • Zones are your own data, not an official source — read the limits yourself STATION SCREEN • New header: local time at the airport, elevation, longest runway — tap it for the coordinates • AIR BASE, HELIPORT, CLOSED, no scheduled service, soft runway — marked in amber; high-elevation airfields flagged from 5,000 ft • METAR: minimum visibility shown on its own line; the flight category follows the prevailing visibility, as the FAA defines it FLIGHT INIT · BRIEFING • FLIGHT INIT redesigned in FMS order: flight ribbon, ROUTE, TIMING, alternates, minima; DEP / ARR clock, ETD in local or UTC • Route cards show ETD · flight time · ETA, and NO TAF when there is no forecast • ALTN in the route builder: airports on a muted map filtered by runway length, with weather at your arrival time • Briefing verdict counted for the arrival window and your own minima • SIGMET names along the boundary, readable card with the whole message PERFORMANCE • The route map opens faster and runs cooler in GPS mode: fewer redraws, background work trimmed • Fixed a hang when leaving the map; the weather refresh is lighter when you come back to the app • Cards fit smaller iPhones Much of this release came from pilots flying with PilotDeck — special thanks to Capt Adil Baria. The feedback form in the app reaches the developer directly.

• Route list scrolls smoothly with many routes, and SAVE in FLIGHT INIT no longer stalls • Distance from your OFP takes priority over the drawn detour and the direct track — the route card and the briefing both show which one is in use • Flying time entered in FLIGHT INIT is carried into the briefing as is — no more recalculated time and shifted ETA • Detour distance is now the same on the route card and in the briefing — one great-circle geometry everywhere Much of this release came straight from pilots' feedback. Tell us what you need — the feedback form in the app reaches the developer directly.

A FLIGHT BRIEFING THAT STARTS WITH THE ANSWER • DECISION comes first, hazards right next to it — the verdict before the detail • TIMING shows departure, flight time and arrival with dates, and local time at each end the way a ticket reads: 0830L → 1036L • En-route alternates now appear across the whole briefing: weather, hazards, wind and runways • ALTERNATE LEGS gives distance and time from the nearest point of your route, not from the destination SIGMET: THE WEATHER BETWEEN AIRPORTS • METAR and TAF describe the ends of a flight. SIGMET describes what lies between — now in the briefing, above the airport summaries, as in an operational flight plan • Thunderstorm, turbulence, icing, volcanic ash, tropical cyclone and mountain wave, each with its layer • WX weather mode on the maps: set your flight level and zones you will not touch are dimmed, with their labels kept so you can decide whether to change level FLIGHT INIT: ENTER A FLIGHT IN ONE PLACE • Departure, destination, date, time, ground speed or flying time — one form • All alternates in one section: departure, destination and en-route, each with FIND for airports with live weather along your track • En-route alternates live in their own list and no longer overwrite destination alternates • CLR clears an airport field at once; a code that does not exist is marked UNKNOWN and is never saved • A reminder to set your own minima — the briefing verdict depends on them ROUTE BUILDER: DRAW A DETOUR AND SEE WHAT IT AVOIDS • Countries along the route in a column, and below the line the ones your detour now avoids • Close a country with its lock. A route that still crosses a closed country is shown in dense red, with the stretch inside it drawn in red and labelled in miles • UNDO and REDO, tools along the bottom of the full-screen map, and weather mode with its own flight level • SAVE returns the detour to the briefing in one press; leaving with unsaved points asks first WEATHER DECODING • TAF change groups decoded and labelled by strength: FM "conditions replaced", BECMG "gradually", TEMPO "temporarily" • Fixed: a forecast remark read as a funnel cloud • Fixed: stations reporting in statute miles blinked as if in fog • Fixed: sea-level pressure in US and Canadian remarks • Visibility now uses one colour scale whatever the units • New remarks decoded: next forecast time, forecast based on automated observations, last staffed observation REFERENCE • New REF for the route builder, and updated REF pages for the map, the briefing and the weather screen — all in the six ICAO languages Much of this release came straight from pilots' feedback. Tell us what you need — the feedback form in the app reaches the developer directly.

NOTIFICATIONS THAT ACTUALLY MEAN SOMETHING • PilotDeck used to notify you on every new report — up to 86 a day per pilot. It now wakes you only when the weather has actually CHANGED • What counts as a change: flight category, windshear, thunderstorm or freezing precipitation, fog, low-visibility procedures, a runway turning slippery, a wind shift of 40° or 10 kt, gusts up, temperature closing on dew point, and an amended TAF • A routine report that repeats the previous one arrives silently and just refreshes the app — the weather you see is always current • Every notification now names the reason and shows the category with the standard aviation colour: green VFR, blue MVFR, red IFR, magenta LIFR • Two new sounds: a darker phrase when conditions worsen, a brighter one when they clear. You hear what happened before you read it ONE SCREEN FOR EVERY NOTIFICATION SETTING • Press and hold the ALERT key — everything about notifications is there • QUIET MODE — important changes only, or complete silence • Temporary modes: EVERY report for 3 hours before a departure, or silence for 8 hours between duties. Both expire on their own, so you cannot forget to switch back • Sound for all your airports at once, or one by one • A table of every airport you follow: METAR, TAF and sound, one tap each PILOT GUIDE • The push chapter is rewritten around the new rules, with the notification screen shown step by step — in all six ICAO languages • Updated chapters are marked, so you can see what is new at a glance ALSO • The route ALRT key no longer pretends to work when notifications are already on for everything — it now says so plainly • Weather updates keep their schedule even when the upstream source slows down: reports are fetched in parallel waves instead of one after another

ROUTE BUILDER — FLY AROUND CLOSED AIRSPACE • Draw your own route: tap ADD POINTS, then tap the map. Waypoints go in order, departure to destination, and the route follows them • The great-circle line stays on screen while you draw — you see exactly how much the detour costs, in miles and in minutes • Every country on your track is listed with distance, time and the moment you enter it. Tap a name to show the country on the map, tap the lock to block it and route around • The briefing now tells you when your track crosses restricted airspace, and offers to lay a route around it ALTERNATES — FOUND ALONG YOUR ROUTE, WITH LIVE WEATHER • Tap FIND ALT and PilotDeck searches 8,600 airports along your track — along the route you actually built, not a straight line • Three searches, because they are three different jobs: ENROUTE by corridor width, DEP ALT by the one-engine rule (one hour for twins, two hours for three or four engines), DEST ALT by a radius you set • Filter by what your aircraft needs: shortest usable runway, corridor width, OEI cruise speed, and your own ceiling and visibility minima • Every candidate carries a live METAR and the age of the report, listed in the order you will fly past them • One tap adds an airport as ALT 1 or ALT 2 — the briefing picks it up • The briefing now also says when a take-off alternate is required: it reads the departure TAF at your ETD and compares it with your minima BRIEFING — CLEARER AND FASTER • Reference rewritten: every key and all twelve sections explained, in six ICAO languages. Contents at the top jumps to any part, TXT switches size • Tap the route map — it opens full screen, as it always promised • Country entry labels are now behind a XING key, so the map stays clean • The map remembers whether you left it open, and loads without slowing the briefing down • Runway winds, TAF timeline and NOTAM counts read easier: bigger type on the map labels, better contrast in the country list Weather, NOTAMs and briefings are still free. Fly boring.

Fixes and improvements • Weather on some airports could stop refreshing on the first day of a short month — fixed • Faster weather updates across all your airports • The radar now marks areas with thin ADS-B coverage, so an empty sky is never a mystery Fly boring.

AIRPORT RADAR — LIVE TRAFFIC ON YOUR AIRPORT MAP • Every airport now has a live radar: real runway geometry on satellite, aircraft moving in real time, wind and the best runway highlighted • Tap any aircraft — type, airline, registration, altitude with climb or descent trend, speed, and where it is flying from and to • Find any aircraft in the world by flight number, callsign or registration, save it to your watchlist and follow it live • Aircraft on final show their runway; emergency squawks pulse red • Weather layer paints every airport VFR/MVFR/IFR/LIFR at a glance • Pan the map — nearby airports pick up automatically with their own wind, elevation and temperature • Share a clean radar shot straight from the map Weather is still free. So is the radar. Fly boring.

YOUR AIRPORTS, WHERE YOU ARE • Quick-add hubs now follow your location — the six nearest airports with scheduled traffic, not a fixed list • NEAREST picks a real airport that reports METAR, never a helipad • Fixed: a station could silently vanish after restart if it was added while the server was unreachable — it now stays and syncs later • A quieter first minute: the Pilot Guide waits for your first airport, and tips appear only once there is something to tip about • A soft tone confirms station removal in EDIT Fly safe!

LIVE WEATHER — YOUR SKY, ANNOUNCED • Live event line on the main screen: fog, snow, ice, thunder and rain are announced hours ahead — right where you stand • Tap any event for its story: minute-by-minute rain, visibility hour by hour, temperature curve with the day's peak, sun arc with golden hour • Official weather warnings: a pulsing badge on station cards opens the full alerts scene with source links • Rain outlook: when it starts, when it ends, how much falls — and your next umbrella-free window • °C / °F switch with a smart default — US devices start in Fahrenheit • Updated Pilot Guide with live animated demos of it all Fly safe!

YOUR FIRST AIRPORT, IN ONE TAP Adding the field you actually fly from used to mean knowing its ICAO code by heart. Not any more. • Quick-add hubs now match your region — Mumbai and Delhi in India, Sydney and Melbourne in Australia, Riga and Vilnius in the Baltics, and so on across 36 regions • New FIND NEAREST AIRPORT button on an empty Weather list: one tap and PilotDeck picks the field closest to you • Location is still only ever requested when you tap — never on launch, never in the background Everything else is where you left it: METAR and TAF decoded in plain English, NOTAMs sorted by what matters, runway wind, performance, daylight, quiz banks and flight trainers. Fly safe!

Stability improvements and refinements across the app.

Sound design across the games — every action now has its own tone: correct taps, merges, level starts and finishes. Weather tab: when your station list is empty, PilotDeck now suggests the nearest airport to you — one tap to add it and see live METAR. Toolbox opens in the classic tile layout by default. Prefer the instrument drums? Switch any time on the DISPLAY panel. Fixes: route lines in Route Builder now connect exactly node to node; a silent sound in System Routing has been restored.
