I would like to have it take on the Rockwell Collins Airshow.

I would love to see the same flight data that we can see on Airshow such as Time to Destination, Distance To Destination, Ground Speed, Air Speed etc.\

I would love the app to automatically rotate through the maps, be able to select the language/metric conversion etc.

Also it would be cool to have Customizeable Points of Interest where you get the Plane with lines and it could show the distance from your set location to your home etc.

Also it would be cool to have the Take Off Runway Estimated Taxi Time Arrival Gate Information as well as a Gate Connect Feature displaying the flights that either you can customize or is pre-set per alliance. Estimated Customs Waiting Times(if you can integrate with the Customs and Border Protection website etc) I would love to have the Gate Connect type feature come on 30 minutes before landing and have it automatically update.

While taxing to the Departure Gate it would be cool to have the Gate Connect Feature switch between an Airport Map and with a direct route to your next gate. Instructions such as Exit Customs Re Check your bag and take the Air Tran To terminal X and clear security etc.

On Tight Connections the Gate Connect Feature could display later flights in an easy to read format like on Airshow.


It would also be cool to have a News Ticker option running on the bottom.

Another feature could be Displaying Points of Interests on the Map so it would show your plane and on the right hand side London with the option to show Traffic Information on the M-25/Weather etc.

Another cool feature would be to show the Sunrise Sunset/World Clock/Historical Flight Data/ Track Tail# With all the Airshow type features.

If you could add the option to have your MP3 music playing with the Flight Track app that would be cool. Possibly you could allow the user to download service packs that would allow them to zoom in on the cities and learn more about them.

It would be cool to show the small towns such as Kamloops British Columbia, The Pas Manitoba Lexington Resivoir/Los Gatos CA etc.

Hope this helps.
