Change Log: eFAD 1.50
Published Apr 10, 2008 by Matthew Justice

eFAD 1.50 has several fixes and new features, see change log.

This release has a new Logbook, eFAD2Go U.S. Graphical selection map, one new weather graphic, BlackBerry fixes and several other enhancements.

1. eFAD Log ...
One of the most requested features we have had is to implement a pilot logbook into our program. For those who have asked, the feature is now here!

Logbook Feature ...

To get started just login to eFAD, click the Logbook link and enter your first logbook entry. You can also see your profile page, this page provides a section where you can configure your type of flying, such as VFR, IFR, or IFR-ATP and your initial hours. As we enhance the logbook the type of flying will limit the options you see on the pages. eFAD Log is free and will remain free, you will not need to have a subscription to access your logbook information. Also, eFAD Log will work on all platforms so you can view and enter flight information on your PDA, PC or other device.

We are going to be adding the following features over the next months, please let us know if you have any recommendations.

- Filtering System: display logbook records by date.
- Importing & Exporting: ability to import and export records to other systems.
- Charts: graphical pie & line charts for flight history.
- Holds & Approaches: IFR Holds and Approaches.
- IFR and Crew Logging: features to allow ATP pilots to log flight information.

2. Blackberry Enhancements ...
For all of our Blackberry users. We have fixed the formatting issues on some of the phones. So if you are using a Blackberry make sure you use the link http://www.pspda.com/ad/xml/index.html
