But what I think should happen is the CFS page that comes up when looking at an airport should include all the pages for the airport and area. The search engine in Documents section is poor and I find it next to useless if you need the information right now. <br /><br />Sure you can bookmark pages but that means spending considerable time before takeoff guessing which pages you might need in the air.<br /><br />Nonetheless as much as I like Foreflight it should still get the information Correct. By the way, they wrote to tell me they would correct wrong frequencies for Ottawa, but they are wrong for many airport.Michael Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881160865679740901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429311486394377221.post-56622472884105966322013-09-05T21:23:26.779-04:002013-09-05T21:23:26.779-04:00Hi Michael,

All the frequencies and terminal area charts you mentioned are there. I'm so happy I no longer have to buy the 'brick' every 2 months and feel guilty about throwing it away! ;-)<br /><br />Regarding the frequencies, I usually just refer to the CFS page anyways because it's right there on the airport page. As a side note, I have emailed ForeFlight before (team@foreflight.com) and they've been very receptive to any suggestions or questions I had. I assume they'd be happy to correct those frequencies.Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429311486394377221.post-20030825173544763992013-09-05T19:09:09.709-04:002013-09-05T19:09:09.709-04:00Those really look like serious "teething trou...Those really look like serious "teething troubles" to me. Is there a way to provide them with direct feedback to correct things like this?Adam Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02524937335927976607noreply@blogger.com
