FAA AeroNav changes…

Sorry I haven’t been posting much. AirWX is still strong with more and more users daily. I’m sure many of you have heard about FAA AeroNav’s plan to start charging users for Charts and Approach plates. This will undoubtedly put a huge roadblock for apps like AirWX. I’ve been committed to delivering a product for pilots where you do not need to pay a monthly fee.

It’s too early to tell what changes will happen to AirWX and AvCharts. I will be watching the news and I’ll post my intentions here so keep checking. I will do my best to continue to offer a one-time fee service. Thanks for reading.

Recent issues with NOTAMs and Connectivity

This recent downtime with the NOTAMs has affected some of our other services (Such as searching for airports). We are working very quickly to resolve these issues and we apologize for any inability to access the service.

NOTAMs issue with AirWX

In the past few days you might have noticed that NOTAMs were INOP. This was due to a change from our NOTAMs source. It’s all fixed now and we apologize for any inconvenience. Additionally we have improved the speed of the downloading of the NOTAMs. I’m sure some of you noticed that NOTAMs took longer to download than anything else. That isn’t the case anymore. It should be a lot faster now.

You do not need to update AirWX to take advantage of these changes. These changes were done on our servers.

Please let us know if you have any issues.

AirWX for Mac Desktop Available Soon!

I decided to try out Mac Desktop development for a few weeks and I wrote a “Menulet” for Mac OS X. A Menulet is an application that runs in the top Menu bar of the Mac OS. It’s been accepted by Apple to the Mac App Store and should be available in a few days. I’m selling it for $0.99 and right now it’s just a quick and easy way to see METARs. I plan to update it frequently with new features until it reaches the same feature set as the iPhone/iPad version. A link will be available shortly.

Android users: I’m still working on an Android update. I know the Android version doesn’t have all the features of the iPhone/iPad version but it’s a lot more difficult to write because of the huge amount of different device screen sizes that I need to support. Rest assured that I haven’t forgotten about you!
