FlyQ Pilot's Guide

The ChartData section below the map lists all the possible ChartData product (e.g. Airport Diagrams , VFR Charts (Sectionals), IFR Terminal Procedures , etc.). Tapping Update Now causes FlyQ EFB to download all the types of ChartData selected for all the states selected. ChartData already current and downloaded (green on the map) will not be downloaded again, only red or yellow states.

Deselecting a state for which ChartData is already downloaded does not erase that data from your iPad/iPhone; it just tells FlyQ EFB not to update it again in the future.

Tip: While there is no way to delete all the data for a given state, you can delete all the data of a given ChartData type. For example, it’s not shown on the screenshot above but most of the larger ChartData products have a Delete button next to them so you can, for example, delete all the VFR Charts or all the IFR Terminal Procedures . If you then deselect some states and tap Update Now , the VFR Charts or IFR Terminal Procedures will be downloaded again for all the states except the ones you just deselected. FlyQ EFB can use as little as 1 GB of storage or up to 25 GB of storage depending on which states you select and what kind of data you need. Tap to select which states you need but do not select all states unless you really fly to all 50 states. Also, Alaska alone consumes about 20-25% of the total data space so only select it if necessary. The High-Resolution Terrain is only used for the 3D synthetic vision; the Low-Resolution Terrain is used for TAWS, the AGL gauge, and Terrain X-Ray. If you don’t plan to use the 3D feature of the app, you can save approximately 50% of the total data space by deselecting High-Resolution Terrain but we very strongly suggest keeping Low- Resolution Terrain on. Storage Considerations

Coverage Limitations

FlyQ EFB has some VFR and IFR maps for the Southern Canada, the Caribbean, most of Mexico, and the Gulf of Mexico. We have approach plates and airport diagrams for Mexico, most of the Caribbean, Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica. The VFR coverage area for Mexico is only available to the northern areas of the country but the IFR coverage extends over most of Mexico.

The Seattle Avionics Airport Diagrams currently cover the lower 48 US states.

Approach Plate Dates

The FAA prints two dates on the side of each plate. Although they look like expiration dates, they are not. They simply represent the print cycle of when that plate was last printed by the FAA. That is, even if a plate doesn't change for two years, every 28 days, it will have a new set of dates on the side. FlyQ ignores these dates and uses a database that the FAA publishes to download only the plates that really have changed or been added. Thus, even when all your plates are current, you may see 'old' dates on the side.
