Here’s another good (bad) example why the cutesy of collapsing is detrimental to the pilot. All the collapsed NOTAMs read the SAME when collapsed! Either the pilot opens them one by one (ouch!), or use the top “++” to expand them all… But if one expands them all, the person will have to scroll...

I’d be curious too… although I highly doubt the usefulness of the truncated information presented (when the sections are collapsed)

Please remove the “More” and “++” buttons and display all info at once. The “More” button shows NOTAMs that are hidden for some “reason” (it’s not like the ones not hidden are more important than others…). A person may inadvertently scroll down too far making the “More” invisible, causing the...

When selecting IFR plates, one is presented with a menu of options of types of plates: Approaches, STARs, Departures, Minimums, etc. Once a type is selected, a new menu is shown with all plates of the selected type and you then select a plate of interest. However, if you want to look at other...

To edit the order of waypoints in a flight plan, currently one is only able to "Move Up" waypoints. This is really cumbersome if what you need is to move a waypoint that is (wrongly) at the top of the list, to the bottom. With the current implementation, on a long flight plan, one may have to...

Certainly, no changes to what the alert will indicate (“traffic X o’clock, Y miles”) but the feature request is simply a change on WHEN the alert gets triggered. Glad you agree; if you haven’t, don’t forget to upvote :)

Currently traffic alerts are distance-based, e.g., 2, 3, 5, 7 and 10NM. Would be nice to have options like "1 minute", "2 minutes", "5 minutes", etc. based on the closure rate, i.e., dividing the distance to traffic by the difference between your own speed and the traffic's, yielding how much...

This? Still shows absolute altitudes…

Please enlighten me. Where? Like this?… Still shows absolute altitudes. And how are absolute altitudes more helpful to the pilot when one is trying to SEE the traffic out the window?

The current implementation shows the traffic relative position (as "o'clock") but shows the absolute altitude, requiring the pilot to do mental math to figure out where to look for traffic. It would be best if, when a traffic alert is issued (or when using QuickView to see traffic details)...

>>Also, there could be an argument that if you have this feature and use it you actually learn from it. I'd rather have somebody be doing the appropriate entry rather than doing a 5 mi final Well, this would be a deficiency in training and best addressed at that point. There are tools one can...

There are probably rea$on$ why FF has it. Well.. FF has it, so… I wish this doesn’t ever get implemented; we don’t need more airplane “drivers” looking at a magenta line when they should be looking out the window for traffic.

Cool! Don’t forger to upvote (I’ve just done on your post 🙂) here. Hopefully one of them will get traction

You’d need to enter the altimeter setting and have a device that provides pressure altitude, or your actual altitude may not match the callouts to the precision you’d like. Even worse if based solely on GPS

Not really. If the target is in level flight vert speed=0 so you can’t tell anything about it’s climbing ability. If the target is doing slow flight you may think it’s a Cub but may be a Baron
