Hi there,
NOAA recently gave aviationweather.gov a huge overhaul and with that added a new API. We’ve now been able to add NOAA as a METAR source for FBW aircraft, providing worldwide coverage. The option is selectable on the flyPad ATSU/AOC settings page in the Developmet Version. Additionally the NOAA TAF source has been fixed in line with the new API, and a couple of other no-longer working options are removed.
Also we’ve made various changes to the PERF pages in the MCDU. The changes include:
- Implemented an option to preselect a managed descent speed.
- Implemented the CHECK SPEED MODE message on the PFD.
- Only allow preselecting a selected CLB speed in CAS.
- Allow preselecting a cruise speed as CAS or Mach.
- Show cruise speed as CAS below FL250 and as Mach above FL250.
- Implemented an option to modify PRED TO altitude on PERF CLB and PERF DES pages.
- Added altitude predictions in selected modes on the PERF DES page.
Happy flying.
