Dear fellow pilot,

On your way to Oshkosh or already there? We're here and waiting! Come see us in Booth C-3089 (Hangar C) to learn about all our products, take advantage of our great show-only specials, or just meet the team. With the imminent release of FlyQ InSight and a new version of FlyQ EFB, there is a lot to see.
  • FlyQ InSight, the first practical Augmented Reality app for aviation has been release to Apple for their review.  We expect approval any day now.  Watch the new video.

Augmented Reality!  New FlyQ InSight

After a long beta and development cycle, FlyQ InSight has been released to Apple for their approval.  Recently, this has been fast so we expect approval any time now.  In the meantime, play our new video.

You'll see much more info on FlyQ InSight in a few days.

iOS 10
iOS 10.3.3: Thumbs up

Another day, another iOS release.  Apple recently introduced a new version of iOS -- version 10.3.3.  We're clearing it for FlyQ EFB as it seems mostly to fix a security hole in WiFi.
Oshkosh 2017
OSH!

Every year, pilots are blessed with an aviation show unlike anything else.  It's technically called AIrVenture but every pilot I know just calls it Oshkosh.  Or OSH.

We're here now.  Find us in booth C-3089 (C building) -- same booth as last year.  We'll be demoing new FlyQ InSight and showing FlyQ EFB version 2.5.  Of course, we'll also have plenty of great specials on FlyQ EFB and our ChartData subscriptions as well as specials on new ADS-B receivers such as the brand-new duak-channel Dual XGPS 170D.


Annotated Plates
FlyQ EFB 2.5

FlyQ EFB 2.5 has been in the works for some time.  We have one final issue to resolve then it will be released.  We'll be demoing it at OSH so folks there can be the first to see it.

1.   Plate/Diagram Annotation  You can now use your finger to write notes, draw lines, etc using your choice of line colors and line widths.  The annotated diagrams show up everywhere you see plates and diagrams including when embedded on the maps.

2.   Vastly improved Avidyne support  We added ADS-B support and fixed a number of bugs with our Avidyne support.  IFD 440/540 users can send flight plans bidirectionally between IFD and FlyQ and FlyQ gets the GPS, AHRS, and now ADS-B feed from the IFD.

3.   Scratchpad.  Dramatically enhanced Scratchpad with much faster performance (especially for iPad Pro users) and choice of colors, pen width, and opacity.
4.   Faster.  Much more timely refresh on downloading new METARs and TAFs
5.   Rings.  Made it possible to turn off the 15 NM traffic ring when using ADS-B
6.   SAR.  In Search and Rescue patterns, allow a buffer < 1 NM
7.  Fix: ETE and GS wrong when adding SIDs and STARs
8.  Fix: Crash on reversing a rubber-banded FP when offline
9.  Fix: Cannot always alter the initial fuel amount for an ICAO plan
10.  Fix: Does not remember if the Gauge Bar is on or off between sessions
