What’s new
Version 1.211 · Updated September 30, 2026
What's new: - Runway at a glance — right below the METAR, the Weather tab now shows the recommended runway for the current wind with its headwind and crosswind, flags it when your crosswind limit is exceeded or the favoured runway is closed by NOTAM, and opens the airport diagram in one tap - Faster navigation — “Jump to” in the ••• menu takes you straight to any section of the Weather tab, a scroll-to-top button appears on every tab of the airport details, and tapping the current tab also brings you back to the top - The airport diagram now also leaves out runways closed by NOTAM when it recommends a runway, and lists them among the closures As always, this release also includes bug fixes and performance improvements. Blue skies!
