  • SEOSite-wide SEO infrastructure — meta tags and JSON-LD across 46 pages, sitemap.xml, robots.txt, a branded social-preview image, and per-article Open Graph images.
  • ContentAirport Planning 101 learning hub — a plain-language hub plus 5 educational articles and 2 audience landing pages (for consultants, for airports).
  • Content10 long-form SEO articles on ALP updates, runway design code, declared distances, RPZ land use, Part 77 vs TERPS, NPIAS classification, critical aircraft, runway extensions, AC 13B Change 1, and FAA coordination — all cross-linked to the tools and guides.
  • ContentPublic glossary, acronym quick reference, changelog, and a dedicated Apply for Beta application page — all indexable.
  • SEOFAQ expanded to 35 visible Q&A with FAQPage JSON-LD across the site (95 structured questions) for Google People-Also-Ask and AI-Overview coverage.
  • ToolShared Print / PDF Report export and shareable-URL writers added across the tool pages; 6 new tool guide pages.
  • APIPublic no-auth reference endpoints under /api/public for the open standards tables.
  • InfraAnalytics & KPI tracking wired into all 20 tools, a per-user profile surface (preferences, default airport), and a Latest from AvPlot articles section on the landing page.
  • SecHardened response security headers (CSP, HSTS-class headers, frame & sniff protection) across the front end.
  • UIDe-duped the active-airport banner and bumped all footers to © 2026.
v2.4
13 Jun 2026

Airspace surfaces, accuracy & design-system pass

  • ToolNew Airspace Surface Reference — Part 77, TERPS, and AC 13B imaginary-surface lookups in one place, with citations.
  • StdROFZ added alongside RSA/ROFA with per-surface toggles in the RSA/ROFA tool.
  • StdCitation audit across all tools — uncited and assumed planning values removed or traced to a dated FAA source.
  • StdNo assumed design values — visibility, approach, AAC/ADG/TDG, and small-aircraft flags now require an explicit choice (blank "— Select —") across obstruction, Exhibit A, ALP tables, declared distance, and linework.
  • StdTaxiway separation tables re-keyed TDG → ADG per AC 13B Table 4-1; TODA action now flags on any OCS-7 penetration.
  • FixRVR / Visibility accuracy — corrected CAT labels, citations, coverage, rounding, and color bands.
  • FixCorrected State Plane map-preview parameters (CO-C, VA-N, NY-E, GA-E, MI-S, OR-N, TX-NC).
  • UIHome page overhaul — redrawn tool icons and category groups into six functional buckets; 10 legacy tool pages modernized to the current AvPlot aesthetic in a consistency pass across all 20 tools.
