Flight Plan - Airspace Check

I have noticed that the "Class" of airspace for Class D is missing the "D".

Others seem OK, and I can figure it out from the description (Surface to xxxx) but I feel it should be fixed.

Class D is not labeled as class D on FAA charts. It's depicted with blue airport (control tower) and dashed circle and the top shown in MSL.

Re: Flight Plan - Airspace Check

In light of the fact that the word "Class" appears in the dialog box, I do not see that as a valid logic...

If the sole purpose of iFly was to merely reproduce a Paper Map, then there would be no reason to have iFly in the first place...

Improvement is the purpose, not duplication

I disagree. IFly GPS is constantly improving the functionality of the app. However, I don't see any reason for them to reinvent the charting process. Class D is the old airport control zone. It is not labeled class D and there is no reason to do so. Do they label class A, E, or G?

Re: Flight Plan - Airspace Check

Are you running iFly GPS on an iPad? My iPad mini showes class "D", "B" and "C" for airports under the i Airspace Information. It has all the altitute information also. TFR are also shown as TFR with the details.
