Aug 26 charts

Are now available (cycle 1009).
Please let the app update if you want the latest charts.
The low enroute IFR charts look a lot better than the previous cycle.

FYI – SkyCharts follows the normal cycle for aviation navigation data.
The list of dates is here

New NACO/FAA IFR low enroute charts

The new charts are a lot less readable than the old ones, and they also seem scanned with all the problems that involves (images not quite aligned or general warping from optical problems)
FAA/NACO/Aeronav say they are working on it, but for now if you get ugly overlaps after you update don’t blame the messenger, please let FAA/NACO/Aeronav know you are unhappy with the new charts.

Mid cycle chart update

The v2.0 has changes to the database, so in order for all charts to be present on the device, it will ask to RECACHE.
If you never use the takeoff minimums & alternate minimums, you are good to go.
If you DO, then please let it recache.

May 6 charts

Are now available.
Just run the app and it will ask if you want to update.
If you want to keep the old charts for another day, just answer NO to the question.

April 8 charts

Processing IFR charts and VFR charts when they become available.
NACO is missing a couple of charts, hopefully they will add those soon ?

Once the new charts are released, I’ll bump SkyCharts/SkyChartsPro to v1.7.
