In anticipation of the large number of aircraft operating to and from areas hosting major sporting and entertainment events, the FAA has published updated procedures in its Domestic Notices valid from August 11–September 7 to enhance safety and minimize air traffic delays.

• 2022-0905 Burning Man
• 2022-0925 NASCAR Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 500
• 2022-1010 NASCAR Bank of America Roval 400
• 2022-1020 Sunbelt Agricultural Expo
• 2022-1126 NCAA University of Alabama Football
• 2022-1126 NCAA University of Notre Dame Football

THESE PROCEDURES MAY BE REVISED OR UNAVAILABLE AT THE TIME OF THE EVENT.  PILOTS SHOULD CHECK NOTICES AND TRAFFIC ADVISORIES PRIOR TO DEPARTURE TO ENSURE THE MOST CURRENT INFORMATION. THESE NOTICES DO NOT SUPERCEDE RESTRICTIONS PERTAINING TO THE USE OF AIRSPACE CONTAINED IN FDC NOTICES.

Official airport, navigation and chart data for the FAA's 28-day AIRAC cycle beginning 8/11/22 became current today as of 09:01Z.  This includes updated georeferenced data for airport diagrams and instrument approach procedures available in iFlightPlanner for iPad and iFlightPlanner for iPhone.

Anytime you access iFlightPlanner or iFlightPlanner for AOPA from your desktop, laptop, or smartphone browser you can be confident you're seeing the most current and accurate data available.

To ensure iFlightPlanner is current on your iPhone or iPad, simply tap "Check for Updates" in the upper-left corner of the Downloads tab.  Each app will quickly tell you which packages need to be updated!

Pilots using iFlightPlanner for AOPA or iFlightPlanner on their desktop, laptop, or smartphone will see the iFlightPlanner Cloud automatically make the transition to the new data at 9:01Z on August 11.

If you like planning online with iFlightPlanner or iFlightPlanner for AOPA, especially when you have access to a full-size monitor, mouse, and keyboard - but prefer to fly with another EFB in the cockpit – then iFlightPlanner’s Bring Your Own EFB program is the perfect solution.  One simple click emails you links to open your flights in ForeFlight, FlyQ, FltPlan Go, Wing X, and Garmin Pilot on your mobile device.  

While super helpful, remember that every flight you plan online, or in iFlightPlanner for iPad and iFlightPlanner for iPhone, are wirelessly sync'd across all iFlightPlanner platforms – automatically.
