FlightSpan™ EFB Release Notes 10.7.0

FlightSpan™ 10.7.0  includes a number of enhancements, bug fixes, and three new aircraft types.

New Features

  • None

Enhancements

  • When diverting to an alternate, FlightSpan™ now notes the current time and location, then calculates the ETE and fuel burn for the flight from the departure point to the turning point, and on to the alternate. 
  • Fuel specific gravity can be set in FlightSpan™ Ops with an effective date (for cold climate seasonal variations), and the EFB will calculate fuel weight using the new specific gravity on or after the effective date.
  • When the FlightSpan™ Ops Company EFB Preference “v2 Auto-Dismiss ACK Type Message Replies” is set to Yes, Acknowledge messages from the v2 website will be automatically dismissed on the Message Tab. When set to No, the pilot must dismiss any Acknowledge message.
  • The stretcher installation quick configure button is improved with a new Aircraft Type EFB Preference that can be set in FlightSpan™ Ops in conjunction with the existing preference. “Stretcher Replaces” defines which seats must be removed (and can’t be installed with a stretcher) and “Quick Configure” defines the preferred placement or removal of other seats.
