    iFly EFB - High Altitude Edition

    Fortunately, Ohio is filled with a lot of wide-open fields. Unfortunately, there is a small wooded area in the middle of those wide-open fields... We had to cut the tree down to recover the iFly iPad. Unfortunately, the tree landed straight on top of the payload module... Thankfully, our...

    iFly EFB - High Altitude Edition

    iFly was part of a high-altitude experiment with my GRCC Aviation Academy high school class during the eclipse. https://www.airmarion.com/new-events-1/2024/4/8/eclipse-2024 The goal was to get video and flight data from 80,000'. According to iFly, we only made it to 64,534' MSL. I guess we put...

    New to IFR ops with iFly EFB - Question about Clearance and Flight Plan

    You can click on the waypoint past GORGO (KJAN), choose Insert Waypoint Before, type V. It will list all of the nearby Victor airways with V417 at the top. It isn't quite what you are asking for, but may be close enough.

    New to IFR ops with iFly EFB - Question about Clearance and Flight Plan

    I view my flight plan in 1800wxbrief.com after I file it from iFly. I do my briefing from there anyway, so it is easy for me to double-check the route. Hopefully, iFly will eventually enhance the in-app IFR capabilities. Meanwhile, it may require going to multiple locations.

    Higher Resolution Charts and Plates

    It would be helpful to have higher-resolution charts and plates displayed within iFly EFB. Sectionals and IFR plates can be difficult to read because they are so fuzzy, especially when zoomed out. I've attached screenshots of my iFly sectional and a SkyVector rendering to demonstrate the...
