1. Much improved airport weather overlay graphics. There many many better conventions.

2. Airport weather and radar weather overlay on sectionals.

3. Duats weather planning or alternative FAA approved tracked briefing.

4. FlightPlan and waypoint sharing between devices when on line.

5. Custom aircraft performance parameters saved and shared when on line.

6. Altitude recommendation (realtime based on ADS-B data would be phenomenal) based on selected Aircraft, FlightPlan leg and type (IFR/VFR), and winds aloft.

7. Fuel price overlays.

Well for version 8 some things have come to happen (3 out 8). Im hoping version 9 gets more of the 5 that are important to me.

iFlys current method is not as refined as the surface station data format as described in:

Other apps use and is more informative.

+ 3. Duats weather planning or alternative FAA approved tracked briefing. AWSOME LM FSS CONNECTION

- 4. FlightPlan and waypoint sharing between devices when on line. SHARING BETWEEN DEVICES IS IMPORTANT

A big thumbs up for any plans you have to improve the weather overlays. I recently flew my plane from Virginia to Washington State and having real time weather data overlaid on the sectional (from ADSB-in) as I was flying made a HUGE difference in my comfort level on the flight. There was some really nasty weather over the Texas panhandle and New Mexico that was easier to avoid when I could clearly see the sectional and all of the airspace and terrain data along with the weather feed. When you implement this, provide a quick way to turn it on and off so the weather doesn't clutter up situational awareness when you don't need it. A prime example is solid could cover the is well above the altitude you are flying at.
