AeroTexas unique map of the tracks and the track listing are updated daily. Click here to view the current NATs

When One Menu Isn't Enough

Today we added a simple menu at the bottom of the home page. We're calling this the Easy Access Bar because it puts common public features of the website at your fingertips, without having to go through the Members Only area to get there. Today it has links to the roster, the VOR RouteFinder, the fuel planner, our vatsim status page, the our flight tracking display, and finally a link to the onloine optimized descent planner. Hope you enjoy the toys!

Updated roster

I've added current month stats to the roster. Note that the roster is currently being updated several times throughout the day. While it is essentially an automatic process, I have not started a schedule for it yet so I'll be "pressing the button" from HQ until I'm satisfied that it is stable. Still I do plan to update the roster at least 4-6 times per day.

Also - don't forget about the VA Meeting on Saturday. I scheduled two flights for myself - one an arrival and another a departure slot, but before and after I plan to shuttle between Friedrichshafen (EDNY) and Frankfurt (EDDH) - so drop in anytime and say hi. See my previous post for instructions about signing up.

Website Update

The Squawks page is now operational again. It has not been collecting squawks except for pilot personal logs since April 13, so it seems a bit dated, but that will change as members post comments along with their flight report.

The cargo page is now being fed with a new dispatcher.

Pilot Stats

A new feature has been to the Members Only area of the website. Members can now view an array of statistics from their flight log:

A table that lists for each equipment type used:
Total Flights by aircraft
Total Hours by aircraft
Total Miles by aircraft

A table that summarizes the pilot's landing performance:

On-time percentage: of all flights and the last 10 flights!
Landing performance: average vertical speed of all flights and the last 10 flights!

A table that tallies the flight rule in effect based on the weather when you landed, as well as categories for CAT II and CAT III approaches in Low IFR.

Updates

Hi folks - 95% of the public area of the website is now complete. There is still some work to be done in the members only area, but I'd say 75% of that is complete now. As a member you can now login and see every entry in your logbook (something you couldn't do with the old website). Members are presented with a summary of their log on their home page - total flights, miles, etc. Planning to release a new version of ATAVS in a few weeks too that will more fully support the new website.

New website unveiled

AeroTexas has a new look and some new flights for 2009!

The biggest change is that members can log time with flights between just about any two airports in Texas. Some of the smaller and private airstrips are not supported, but then we don't really have STOL aircraft so you won't be flying there anyway.

Our regional service is now to adjacent states only. Our continental services include service to major airports throughout the USA, Canada and Mexico, including Toronto, Mexico City, and even Anchorage, Alaska. Charter flights are suspended for now, except for cargo. We hope to resume daily charter flights in a few weeks. Cargo flights are still issued hourly.

Stay tuned - more details soon.
