Version 1.4 Released
May 5, 2011

Version 1.4 of World Flight Planner has been released.

This latest release increases the available information when preflight planning. For example, the last four hours worth of METAR are now stored so you can easily see the trending weather at a given airport. Also available now for airports are runway and navaid information as well as a list of nearby airports.

Another focus of this release was to improve the overall user experience. With that in mind, we've completely overhauled various functionality within the site, such as user favourites, based on user feedback. And we've made it easier than ever to access commonly used routes and aircraft.

We've also increased the overall speed of the site, again in an effort to make the user experience on World Flight Planner enjoyable and ensure that flight planning can be done effortlessly and in minimal time; less time planning means more time for flying.
