FlyQ EFB 2.2: Faster, More Features

FlyQ has been characterized by a design that maximizes screen space for maps, buttons that are large enough to hit on the first try, easily readable fonts, color-coding for alerts that minimize distractions and a touchscreen set up with turbulence in mind. The recently released Version 2.2 provides, among other new features, a three-times faster mapping engine, new base maps and over 4600 Seattle Avionics-devised airport diagrams for airports that do not currently have FAA diagrams.

Since taking back full control of its FlyQ EFB (electronic flight bag) from AOPA a few years ago, Seattle Avionics has continued to improve the iPad-based app while keeping true to its declared focus on ease of use and making life safer for pilots.
