Speed up those Metars

December 7th, 2009 — 9:47am

We’ve just deployed a new compression algortithm that greatly improves page load time.

You should feel that Metars and Tafs and maps load a lot faster now.
Also, cost will be greatly reduced for those that pay per traffic.

AIRNAV link included for US airports

November 21st, 2009 — 9:13am

We’ve included a link to AIRNAV’s airport information for all US airports (AIRNAV doesn’t cover much of the rest of the World)
You’ll find the link in the Extra Information Section, just below the weather report for each airport.

We’ve done this following Chris’s suggestion. Thank you, Chris.

What will you find when you follow the link?

Among other, information on the airport’s:

  • Operations
  • Communications
  • Navaids
  • Services (fuel…)
  • Runways
  • Ownership and management
  • Operation statistics
  • Instrument procedures and plates
  • FBO
  • Nearby hotels and car rental
