Nouveautés (v1.0.6)
Export any aircraft as a polished PDF report (Pro) — full registration, aircraft specs, and safety summary in one tap, ready to email, AirDrop, save, or print.
First-time users now get a “Try a sample” card on the home screen with three hand-picked aircraft (Musk's Gulfstream, an American Airlines CRJ with full maintenance history, and the historic B-17 “Texas Raiders”) so it's instantly clear what TailNumber can do.
Behind the scenes: wired up over-the-air JS updates so small fixes can ship between App Store releases.
