What's new in AeroLog

Released July 24, 2026

• Fixed paid and organization plans being wrongly capped at 5 flights — the Discovery flight limit no longer applies to upgraded accounts.
• Airborne fleet aircraft now show correctly as airborne in the dashboard lists instead of reading "no signal", matching the live map.
• Fixed the airborne aircraft cards in full-screen map mode — tapping one now flies to and follows the aircraft, instead of the tap panning the map underneath.
• Live "Following" HUD — when you track an aircraft the map now shows its altitude, groundspeed, and estimated time to its destination.
• Emergency squawk alerts — a 7700/7600/7500 target now raises an unmistakable red banner on the scope; tap it to jump straight to the aircraft.
• Message reactions and read receipts — react to any message with an emoji and see a "Seen" marker once it's read, in both the Messages dock and the full inbox.
• Cleaner ATC scope — an aircraft's destination now shows only when you click it, not on every label.
• Fixed aircraft facing the wrong way — headings now follow real movement when the ADS-B track is stale, and ground traffic no longer all points north.
• The whole-globe ATC scope and smoother live traffic — planes glide between updates instead of jumping around.
• Faster map imagery — satellite and chart tiles load at high priority, so the map fills in noticeably quicker on a cold start.
• Fixed the aircraft photo mismatch — a slow light aircraft no longer shows an airliner photo on its card.
• The airport info card no longer hides behind the dashboard panels in full-screen — it docks clear to their left.
• Schedule now scrolls properly on mobile, and your calendar subscription's private feed URL is hidden for your privacy.
• Logbook and aircraft editors no longer close when you click outside them — use the ✕ so an in-progress edit is never lost by accident.
• Annual pricing now shows the savings (about 17% — two months free) right on the home-page plans.
• Billing reliability — resolved trial-detection and payment-status edge cases so upgrades and plan changes go through cleanly.
• Fixed a currency-page glitch that logged a console warning on the medical and flight-review date fields.

Released July 21, 2026

• Ground Ops broadcasts — admins can push an announcement to every pilot through the AeroLog system channel, delivered straight to the inbox with a push notification.
• Your Messages dock now keeps the full conversation history inline instead of only the latest message.
• The dashboard now opens full-screen on the ATC scope map by default, so your home field is front-and-center the moment you land.
• New "What's happening" panel — live incident headlines, FAA ground stops, and the most-watched flights near you, right on the dashboard.
• Redesigned marketing home with a real KORD satellite / ATC-scope hero that mirrors the live dashboard.
• Security hardening across the board: tightened access rules, atomic two-factor checks, and abuse limits on account and billing endpoints.

Released April 28, 2026

• Organizations get a shared fleet, flight proposals, org-wide messaging, instructor labels, and a schedule overview.
• New org ⇄ me scope toggle on the schedule so you can flip between your own flying and your school's operations.
• Per-view edit-layout on the dashboard, org-tier sign-up options, and noticeably faster dashboard loads.
• Org members are no longer capped to Discovery flight limits in the logbook.
• Billing: new subscriptions now charge instantly — the 14-day free trial has been retired.
• Big theme pass — fixed light-mode glare, the background flash on load, and custom-wallpaper surfaces.

Released April 20, 2026

• Click anyone in Org or on the Dashboard to open a full profile card with their role, plan, and connected students or instructors.
• Files now shows an UPLOADING or FAILED badge for in-flight uploads, and auto-cleans orphaned entries that never finished.
• Landing page no longer inherits the signed-in custom wallpaper — marketing routes always render with the default brand background.
• Hardened two-step login with TOTP + trusted-device support and a rebuilt Security section in Settings.
• Assorted fixes across dashboard insights, sidebar, weather, logbook, and onboarding flows.

Released April 19, 2026

• PWA ready: home-screen shortcuts for Log flight, Weather, and Currency.
• iPhone notch + Android nav bar safe-area padding in standalone mode.
• Org plans now hand every member perks — storage boosts, discounts, and more.
• Role-restricted invites: student invites can only join as students.
• Smaller, pill-style home-airport card on the dashboard.
• CSV import guide and endorsement catalog moved to the public homepage footer.
