Gravity Ride Submits First iPhone Application

TFRs : Temporary Flight Restrictions was just submitted to Apple for review. If all goes well, it should be available on the iTunes AppStore in 2-4 weeks.

- Active TFRs are visually displayed in red on the maps
- Zoom in and out on TFR maps (multi-touch pinch)
- Scroll around maps by dragging the image

WARNING:
This application is a fantastic pilot aid. However, it is not a replacement for a full pre-flight briefing. Pilots should always check with a flight service briefer, prior to flight, to obtain the latest NOTAMS and TFRs.

Requirements:
- iPhone/iPodTouch OS 2.0 or later
- Active Internet network connection.
