Unfortunately, the FAA does not make the data that comprises the Chart Supplement available except through PDF versions of the actual pages.  This cycle's data was over 2700 unindexed pages and was a bit over 500MB in size which makes it somewhat in practical to use.  We'd prefer to incorporate the actual data so if you'd give us feedback on what is missing or regularly inaccurate we can work with our data providers to locate that data and incorporate it in the app.

Dave, that is the wish for the list. We need airport charts to pop up in the chart supplements like the competition does. Many of our CFI,s and examiners require the diagram to be up when taxiing even at smaller airports. No can do with ifly.....impractical or not it is an important piece of the pie.

Hope a fix can be done.

Thanks

There is nothing in the FAR's that require a pilot to have an airport diagram displayed to taxi.  However, you are required to follow ground control instructions which might require you to either know the airport or have reference to a diagram.  That's why airports have signage you should be able to follow.

This would be good information to have displayed, if possible.

Dave: maybe you could make it possible for users to load in their own images/PDFs.  That way people could load in what Chart Supplement pages they want.  I'm sure such a feature would be handy in other ways too.

Too often I find data missing.  For example at KFTW the "VOR TEST FACILITY (VOT) 108.2" is not shown in Ifly.  Things like this happen all too often for me to trust Ifly in this particular situation.

 

Just checking if this type of systemic problem can be fixed.  I know Adventure Pilot is trying to up their game with new features, but we really need the basics to work rock solid more than new features.

I already have one person I started with iFly convert to a competitor (pay more) just because they can not stand these types of basics not working correctly.
