Problem: Control-centre dispatchers handling inbound calls (e.g. hospitals asking "when will the aircraft arrive?") need to provide an ETA immediately, but on the map view today the ETA is not surfaced against the aircraft itself. Dispatchers have...
Control whether the map auto-focuses when an aircraft goes active
Problem:
When an aircraft becomes active, the live map automatically zooms and re-centres on it. If that aircraft is outside the area the user is monitoring, the view is pulled away from where they are working, which is disruptive.
Desired outc...
Select an aircraft by clicking its track on the map
Problem: On a busy map with many overlapping tracks and teardrops, it's hard to pick out and select the correct aircraft. Desired outcome: Select an aircraft directly by clicking its track line on the map, without hunting through the aircraft list...
Show takeoff and landing events in each location's local timezone on Flight History
Problem: On the Flight History page, takeoff and landing event timestamps are shown in a single timezone. For operators flying across timezones, this hides the actual local time at which events occurred at each location — which is what most operat...

Include Spider X Blocks on/off events in the AFF data feed
Problem: The AFF (Aircraft Flight Following) data feed carries engine and takeoff/landing events from the Spider X digital flight log, but not blocks on/off events, so systems consuming the feed can't derive block times from it. Desired outcome: C...
See all aircraft tail numbers without zooming in when they overlap on the map
Problem: When several aircraft are close together on the map, their tail-number tags stack on top of each other, so users have to zoom right in to tell them apart. Desired outcome: Keep a wide view of the map and still read each aircraft's tail nu...
Reverse geocode 'unknown' flight log locations to show 'nearby' place references
In concept, it would add the following as a 'location' reference when Airport or Custom codes were not found: If geo.locality within threshold → use “<d> <bearing> of <locality>” Else if geo.route within 2 km → “near <route>...
Create Email/text alert for tracking irregularities
Enable email/text notification when certain tracking delays arrise or when a track ends while the aircraft is still flying. When an iridium track is cut mid flight due to loss of iridium coverage, a email/sms notification would enable dispatch to ...
