Recent Server Changes (available now):

INTERNATIONAL Airports have been added! If you can't find any airport or a AWOS station please send me an e-mail and I will add it.
FAQ:

Q: Why won’t you make this app free?
A: It costs me (the developer) money to run the server for this App. That’s where it gets the data about the Airports in the US. Plus I will be constantly updating this app and all updates are FREE for the life of the app.

Q: Why isn't my local airport available?
A: Please realize that not all airports have METAR or TAF services. You can use the nearest airport feature to find airports with weather information.

Q: Do the sectional charts move like Google Maps?
A: Version 1.6 (available now) will allow you to pan and zoom sectional charts. Although you still can't use swiping and pinching...that will be available later (i'm still working on it).

Q: Where is [insert feature here]?
A: It's coming. I have a long list of feature requests, and I promise to get each one done. In the meantime, send me emails with your requests and I will add them to the list if its doable.

If you have any other questions or problems please e-mail the developer at felix@bepilot.com
