Straight-In Update: Refreshed App Icon, Modernized Headers, Checklist Toggles, and Map Fixes


This update introduces the new Straight-In app icon, modernized header typography and airport pill controls, customizable emergency checklist display settings, and fixes duplicate aircraft icon rendering on instrument approach plates.

Refreshed App Icon

  • New Brand Icon: Updated the application icon to feature the new Straight-In design across iOS home screens and system menus.
  • Cockpit Benefit: Establishes a clean visual identity that aligns with the modernized flight planning user interface.

Modernized Headers & Airport Pills

  • Capsule Airport Tags: Updated section header airport tags to clean, rounded capsule buttons that match the flight planning design.
  • Header Typography & Accents: Cleaned up header text using monospaced typography complemented by a subtle orange gradient accent line.
  • Cockpit Benefit: Enhances legibility of airport identifiers and section headers under varying cockpit lighting conditions.

Customizable Emergency & Checklist Display

  • Toggle Emergency Button: Added a configuration setting to show or hide emergency checklists, removing the red Emergency button from the Home screen when hidden.
  • Dynamic Layout Spacing: Home and tool screens automatically adjust spacing when emergency or optional checklists are disabled.
  • Cockpit Benefit: De-clutters the primary interface for flights where emergency shortcuts are not needed, preventing inadvertent button taps.

Approach Plate Map Fix

  • Cleaned Up Instrument Plates: Fixed an issue where a duplicate aircraft icon appeared in the bottom-left corner of instrument approach plates while navigating a flight.
  • Cockpit Benefit: Eliminates map clutter and potential confusion during critical approach phases.
