Software Version 7.0.

This time not the additional features but simpler handling was the topic.

Simpler handling

  • MFD functions on the top level
  • The menu tree is always visualized
  • Active Airport Philosophy: If you start working with an airport, it stays
    preselected for further working with approach plates, the approach procedures or the terminal waypoints.
  • Same and identical menu in Map and Flight modes. Chart will be moved by arrows in the upper corner.
  • The earlier crowded NAV Page is now a NAV Waypoint Page and a NAV Route Page.

Printing

  • Flightplan or paper backup of approach plates can be printed out in an legally safe way. Even screensshots of any base chart if you want to.

Nearest Airport

  • Three of the Nearest Airports including distance, time and their respective centerline and an emergency approach altitude circle are displayed.

Automatic Airport Chart on touchdown

  • Instead of useful but for many pilots too complex to handle preselect list.

Better status indication for BlitzPlan

  • The Status of each flightplan is shown in the overview

IFR UPDATE much easier

  • Now pilots simply rent server space at MT and the actual update work instead of having their own Update Cube. All the conversion and referencing work will be done in house at MT. The entire update package will come on 1 chip, that is to be cycled to and from MT. The procedure will be operational as you read these lines.

1 Update for everything

1 CF chip will contain and perform every update that pilots have
ordered or subscribed to
  • JeppView charts, fully georeferenced
  • MT Terminal procedures
  • Waypoint & Airport databases
  • IFR / VFR NAVDATA
