iFly,

I'd like to suggest two features. The first is a back button while looking at approaches. If I hit the wrong or approach or want to look at the different approaches at an airport, it takes 5 button presses and 1 press and hold to select another approach. It would be nice to have a back button along with the cancel, rotate, and zoom buttons so that it would only be 2 presses to toggle between approaches. I understand that previously viewed approaches are available via the history button, but they aren't available until you've looked at them already.

The second feature would be to load approaches on the enroute charts. I understand that not all the fixes that define an approach are not part of enroute chart, but if you have the information, they can still be used as waypoints; I'm not sure if you have approach database information available. You could load the approach as part of the options in the flight plan menu or as part of the airport information page. This way it won't look like your off course on the enroute while you're flying an approach. Even though it couldn't be used as navigation to fly the approach, it would improve situational awareness during the approach.

Thanks, Jayson

That typo is fixed in the next version. There are a couple of other typos that were pointed out to me at Oshkosh...but I'm not telling ;-).

I have that plates "back button" feature on the list too

Walter,

It's really nice to see your responsiveness on these forums. I think it's already a great product and responding to user feedback will make it even better.

Jayson
