Get ready for a smoother, more intuitive flight planning experience. This update brings powerful new tools for both VFR and IFR pilots, letting you build and manage your routes faster than ever. Here is what’s new in this version: Elevated Route Planning & IFR Integration Take control of your Nav log: Reordering your stops is now as easy as drag-and-drop. Use the arrow buttons, your keyboard, or simply swipe a leg away to remove it. Seamless IFR Clearances: Paste your clearance string directly into Route · Box 16 to instantly generate color-coded routing chips. Tap "Apply filed route to nav log" to rebuild your stops from resolved fixes, perfectly syncing your map and weather with your filed flight plan. Interactive Map Routing Plan visually: Build your flight directly on the trip map. Tap any airport to instantly set it as your departure, destination, or a via point. Fluid adjustments: Tap navaids to quickly add fixes, tap near your route line to insert a point along a leg, or simply tap a route marker to remove an intermediate stop. Smarter Saved Waypoints Find pins faster: When building a flight, easily filter your custom waypoints by group or sort them by distance to your current route. Bulk additions: Save time by selecting multiple saved pins and adding them to your route all at once. Performance & Reliability Rock-solid syncing: Fixed an issue to ensure your routes always save flawlessly upon your first login or after refreshing your settings. Missing waypoint recovery: If a saved pin is missing from your library, a clear new banner lets you instantly restore it from your device cache or safely remove it from your route. General improvements: Additional under-the-hood bug fixes to keep your app running smoothly.

What's New Hazardous Weather Alerts FlightScore now detects thunderstorms, freezing rain, large hail, and other severe conditions directly from METAR present weather codes. A bold red banner appears in the weather detail card when convective conditions are reported — even if the flight category shows VFR. TAF forecast periods are now color-coded red and amber so you can see at a glance when severe weather is expected during your flight window. These detections are also wired into your Go/No-Go score. In-Flight Map Upgrades The moving map now shows a live ALT / GS / HDG / ETE readout at the top of the screen once you're airborne, plus a 60-second lookahead line projecting your track ahead based on current heading and groundspeed. New Cockpit/Sunlight Mode (button) switches to a high-contrast basemap built for bright daylight. GPS tracking and follow mode now persist when you switch tabs — the blue dot keeps moving no matter where you are in the app, and the screen stays awake automatically. Stale data alerts warn you when METAR or TFR information is more than 6 minutes old. Standalone Checklists Checklists no longer require an aircraft. Create any checklist with just a title — perfect for custom flows, ground procedures, or shared lists — and optionally link an aircraft later. Scratchpad Improvements The EFB Scratchpad gets a major overhaul: one-tap CRAFT, ATIS, and Freq templates in Type mode; a hold-to-clear button that requires a 600 ms press to prevent accidental wipes in turbulence; palm rejection for Apple Pencil users; and a red-spectrum Cockpit Night Mode that preserves your dark adaptation. Drawing performance is significantly improved with a new offscreen canvas architecture and quadratic Bézier smoothing. Apple Watch The circular watch face complication now shows your destination airport below the score so you can confirm at a glance which flight you're looking at. Weather Display The Airport weather tab and briefing weather detail have been redesigned to a ForeFlight-style decoded layout — one field per row, always decoded by default. Raw METAR text is still available via a tap. Temperature now appears in the briefing timeline for both TAF and NWS forecast sources. Bug Fixes Resolved all remaining map crash patterns. Fixed GPS error display (now a readable full-width banner). WebGL context loss now recovers automatically. Several scratchpad undo and iOS layout fixes.

What's New FlightScore now brings ForeFlight-level IFR planning into your briefing workflow. IFR Route Planning Enter full clearance-style route strings (e.g. "KDFW BOWIE3 MQP V66 MIZAR J42 BDR RNAV KJFK") and watch each token resolve into color-coded chips — airways in blue, SID/STARs in green, fixes in white. Validation warnings flag altitude-below-MEA and off-route fixes before you ever call clearance delivery. Airways on the Map Toggle Victor (blue), Jet (orange), and RNAV/Q (purple) airways on the enroute chart. Labels show at zoom 8+. Tap any airway for its ident, MEA, and direction restriction. Approach Plates with Live GPS Overlay Browse IAP, SID, STAR, and APD charts in the new Plates tab. Geo-referenced approach plates show a pulsing blue ownship dot that moves with your GPS position in real time during an approach. IFR Risk Scoring Three new score categories for IFR flights: Alternate Compliance (1-2-3 rule), Approach Minimums Margin (compared against your personal DA/MDA limits), and IFR Workload (currency, actual IMC hours). Four IFR-only FRAT questions auto-populate from your briefing data. New Weather Layers Freezing Level — cyan altitude contours for icing awareness G-AIRMETs with 6-hour time slider — scrub Zulu/Tango/Sierra hazard forecasts from T+0 to T+6 Cloud Tops — altitude-colored fills along your route Wind Barbs — conventional barbs at 3K, 6K, 9K, 12K, and 18K ft PIREP filtering by icing or turbulence IFR High Enroute Chart added to map layer controls. Offline IFR Data — the regional offline pack now includes airway segments and approach minimums so full IFR planning works without a network connection. Checklists — Import & Export Import your existing checklists from CSV or build them in a spreadsheet and load them straight into the app. Export any checklist as CSV from the new Manage panel. You can also rename checklists and edit items inline. Favorite Airports — Now Synced Saved airports now sync to your account and appear instantly across all your devices. Airport Safety Score The Airport tab now shows a live weather safety score for any airport — no flight plan required. Great for a quick conditions check on a divert or home field. Logbook — Endorsements & Expanded Fields A new Endorsements tab lets you record student and instructor endorsements alongside your flight log. Logbook fields now match LogTen Pro and ForeFlight for full compatibility. Safety Score Warning for Past Flights Opening a flight with a departure time that's already passed now shows a clear note that the score reflects current conditions, not historical weather.
