* FltPlan.com's New FltPlan Go iPad App to be Demonstrated at Air Venture
2013 *

FltPlan.com will be launching a new version of our free iPad app in August
named *FltPlan Go*.
*FltPlan Go* will be demonstrated at the EAA show in Oshkosh July 29-Aug.
4th.

Our *FltPlan Go* iPad app has many new enhancements with an easy-to-use
interface. Some of the features include:
Rubber banding for flight planning
Ability to create and edit routes offline
ADS-B and XM - WX capabilities
Helicopter Routes, TAC Charts, SUAs for offline use
Geo-Referenced Airport Charts (in addition to Geo-referenced Charts)
Multiple Binders for easy access to the info you need, all in one location
Ability to save notes and highlights on multiple approach charts
All these features will work online and offline
The best part is that this new app integrates with our website (and our
other mobile devices) for one-stop flight planning. *FltPlan Go* also
includes our current eLogbook, Weight & Balance, and PDC features.

Stop by Booths #2002 and #2003 to see the newly enhanced app. We'll also
keep you posted in *FltBrief*.

Helicopter Route charts depict current aeronautical information useful to
helicopter pilots navigating in areas with high concentrations of
helicopter activity. Information depicted includes helicopter routes, four
classes of heliports with associated frequency and lighting capabilities,
NAVAIDS, and obstructions. In addition, pictorial symbols, roads, and
easily-identified geographical features are portrayed.

This feature will be available on our free iPad and Android apps in the
near future.

As note, you can also purchase paper Helicopter Route Charts from
Store.FltPlan.com

* FltPlan.com's Pressure & Density Calculator Now Available on the Web *
 Our Pressure & Density Altitude Calculator, previously only available on
our popular free iPad and Android apps, is now also available on the
website. This is an easy to use, professional grade tool for all pilots who
need accurate information when calculating Pressure and/or Density
altitude.

Our calculator offers a multitude of options and features:
You can enter an altitude in feet or meters, a pressure in inHg or
millibars, and a temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
This Tool will display ISA for the altitude entered and the ISA deviation
for the actual temperature entered.
You can find the Pressure and Density Calculator on our
*Weather/Notams*page. (The link is on the left side of the Main Menu
page.)

After several uses, you'll soon find this an indispensable part of your
flights. This feature is also available on our iPad, Android, and
Blackberry apps.
