Instant access. Familiar colored tabs provide one-touch access to procedures for your departure, destination, and alternate airports. Each airport tab includes dedicated buttons for arrivals, approaches, departures, and the airport diagram. One-touch switches from your arrival procedure to your approach, then one more touch switches to the airport diagram. Last minute approach change? No problem, tap the Approach button and one touch selects a new approach from the list. It's easily done in less than two seconds. Plus enroute and sectional charts are also just a single-touch away and display almost instantly. And there is a tab for your own customized PDF documents that is great for instant access to a checklist.

• Three familiar colored tabs mark departure, destination, alternate airports, and an extra airport tab is available for whatever your mission requires.
• One-touch switching between arrival, approach, enroute or sectional chart, airport diagram, or departure.
• Alternate minimums, Takeoff minimums, Radar minimums, Hot Spots, LAHSO procedures, and the A/FD page are all available for quick access via a dedicated button at the bottom of each Airport tab. Icons for each are displayed if applicable at that airport.

"Better Than Seamless" charts. Imagine cropping the margins and carefully aligning every chart on a large wall. Then imagine the wall has the magical ability to instantly bring whatever chart you touch to the foreground so you can see what was behind an overlapping chart. Finally imagine touching the chart again makes the margins reappear so you can see the Effective Dates and all the special airspace data that is only listed in the margins. That's what you can do with Reader Plates charts on the iPad. You get all the benefits of seamless charts and you have all of the information available on every chart.

• High Altitude Enroute, Low Altitude Enroute, WAC, TAC, and Sectional charts for the lower 48 states combined into moving maps.
• Search for Airports, Navaids, & Waypoints with any portion of the identifier, name, or city and jump to them on the map.
• One-touch "In View" searches for an instant list of Airports, Navaids, & Waypoints on the areas of the charts currently visible.

Fast, simple updates. A single glance at the Updates screen is all it takes to be sure you have current plates and charts. When it's time for an update, just select the regions you need and tap the Update button. Every approach procedure, enroute chart, WAC, TAC, and sectional that covers each selected region will be downloaded to your iPad so that it is accessible without a Internet connection. And updates are F.A.S.T-- only changes since your last update are downloaded to drastically reduce the time spent downloading.

• All data is highly compressed so that only 5 GB is required for all U.S. approach procedures (including Alaska & Pacific) and all enroute, WAC, TAC, & sectional charts for the lower 48 states.
• Downloads are divided into the nine FAA regions: Northwest, North Central, East Central, Norteast, Southwest, South Central, Southeast, Alaska, and Pacific.
• Updates are distributed through a high-bandwidth, low-latency Content Delivery Network for fast downloading.
• Cycle updates include only the changes since your last download (up to six months), so less time is spent downloading.
• All procedures and charts for each region are downloaded and stored for use without a network connection

Complete and always accessible. Downloads include all 13,000+ SIDs, STARs, airport diagrams, minimums, approaches, legends, and full Airport/Facility Directories with supplementals for the entire U.S. including Alaska and the Pacific. IFR High & Low Enroute charts and VFR WAC, TAC, & Sectionals are included for the continental U.S. A paid subscription is required for downloading updates, but once downloaded there is no lock-out. All downloaded procedures and charts are always viewable regardless of effective dates or subscription status. Plates and charts are marked expired when no longer effective, but are viewable until replaced with newer versions.

• Alternate minimums, Takeoff minimums, Radar minimums, Hot Spots, LAHSO procedures, and the A/FD page are all available for quick access via a dedicated button at the bottom of each Airport tab. Icons for each are displayed if applicable at that airport.
• Airports, Navaids, and Waypoints are all searchable by name, city, identifier or any portion thereof.

Sharp images that are easy to read. The default approach plate view is larger than life yet shows all the information you're likely to need without scrolling. And the text is still crisp and clear when zoomed to more than 2x actual size. Plus a single touch switches the entire display to night mode with white on black maps and darkened tabs and menus.

• Approach procedure footers with amendment numbers, dates, and airport latitude/longitude can be displayed with a quick swipe to scroll down.
• Pinch to zoom approach plates and charts.
• One-touch Lock button freezes any view and ignores accidental touches until unlocked.

"Weather To Go." Current METARs, TAFs, and Airport NOTAMs for the entire U.S. are downloaded twice per hour (when a Internet connection is available.) And because the information is stored locally, the most recently downloaded data continues to be available when outside internet coverage.
