Ascent 1.9.6 is rolling out. The App Store build today is 1.8; everything below arrives with 1.9.6.

Recorded flights, 3D replay and debrief

Record and stop by hand, or log the flight from the Flight detected prompt after landing.
Replay over 3D terrain with Chase and Overhead cameras, 1x, 4x and 16x, and an altitude and groundspeed profile.
Debrief with stabilized gates, glidepath against a 3 degree reference, touchdown point against the ACS, and flags you can tap to seek to.
Coaching tips citing FAA sources, on automatically for pilots in training.
Share a debrief PDF. Export GPX, KML or CloudAhoy CSV. A Your Flying summary in the logbook.

Go/no-go check of a planned flight against your personal minimums, with runway margin from your own POH.
Decoded METAR and TAF cards with stale observations called out, NOTAM and TFR summaries, winds aloft along the route.
POH answers cite the page and open the PDF there.

On by default. A heads-up 5 minutes and a warning 2 minutes before your projected track enters a TFR, the DC SFRA or FRZ, prohibited or restricted airspace, or Class B, C or D.
Runs on the device against installed offline packs. Optional voice.

Airports within 150 NM with frequencies, glide reach from wind, terrain and POH glide numbers, one-tap Direct-To and your emergency checklist.
121.500 and 7700 ready to copy. Mayday Assist never transmits: you tune and call by hand.

Fly Infinite Flight with Ascent as the EFB over Connect or EFB Link. Sim position is badged; a logged sim session counts as Simulator time, never Total.

Synthetic vision beside the live map, half or full, with drag and pinch to look around and a flight path marker.

A fuel price layer coloured cheap to expensive, a fuel section on each airport, crowd-reported prices with an optional receipt photo, and the cheapest fuel along your route.

Pattern direction, runway status and wind components on runway details.
A bad network no longer locks you out of the map. Clearer NOTAM and TFR expiry notices.

$59.99 the first year, then $89.99 a year, after a one-time 30-day Pro trial.
