What's New in AirPlx: July 2026

April you could see your whole field. May you could run it live. June you could make it yours. July it keeps up with you.

The headline this month is live updates: the board keeps itself current without anyone hitting refresh.

We love feature requests. If you're using AirPlx and not telling us what's bugging you, other customers are making those decisions for you. Email us: hi@airplx.com.

Here's what shipped.

Live Updates in the Live View

Live View updates itself now. Nobody has to refresh.

Kyle moves an aircraft on his computer and it shows up on the big screen in the line room, and on the mobile app, without anyone touching anything. A toast names who moved it, with an icon for whether they did it from a desktop or a phone.

Moves also record the real wall-clock time now. A drag used to be stamped with whatever interval you were browsing, which at the default one-day granularity meant midnight, so a whole shift of moves landed at 00:00 in no particular order. Open a trip's history now and the times are the times.

New Aircraft: the other end of the ramp

In June we parked the Blue Angels, the Thunderbirds, the Snowbirds, and Fat Albert. July went the opposite direction: light sport, kit builts, and a run of 1930s taildraggers. The airplanes that fit in the corner your jets can't use.

Fifteen new airframes:

• Aeropilot Legend 600
• AVEKO VL-3 Flamingo
• Beechcraft Model 19 Musketeer Sport
• Boeing C-40 Clipper
• BRM Aero Bristell LSA
• Great Lakes 2T-1A-1 Sport Trainer
• Hughes OH-6 Cayuse
• Interstate S-1B1 Cadet
• Pipistrel Virus SW 121A Explorer
• Rainbow SkyReach BushCat
• Skyleader 600
• Sling HW
• Sling TSi
• Thorp T-18 Tiger
• Waco UKC-S

Don't see one you fly? Funny you should ask, just tell us and we'll build it.

The Clock Bar

The clock in the toolbar is live. It ticks, it's the same control in every view, and it stays on screen instead of hiding behind a button.

Blue means you're on today. The arrows step, the calendar jumps, and the clock keeps ticking.

Trip arrival and departure pickers used to round to five-minute increments. Every minute is selectable now, with a Now button.

Copy from Live View

Start a new stacking profile and Copy from Live View fills it with every tail that's on the field right now, so you're not rebuilding the board from memory. Trip Movements also moved out of a modal and into a resizable bottom tab.

New profile, Start from, Copy from Live View. The profile opens with the field exactly as it sits.

Small Stuff That Adds Up

None of these is worth a screenshot. All of them were worth fixing.

• Base View multi-select. Cmd/Ctrl and Shift click, then right-click to remove them all.
• Move aircraft with the measurement tool open.
• Ramps select by their parkable area, not the image bounding box.
• Rotate structures on the object itself. No dialog.
• ISO dates in the schedule, finishing what June started.

Bug Fixes

• Printing bugs in Live Mode, fixed.
• Ramp aircraft counts, fixed.
• Various other stability fixes from customer reports. If you reported something and it's working now, thank you.

What's Next

We spent most of July rebuilding the auto-stacking engine from the ground up: tow paths, clearances, the whole search. It's in testing with a few bases and isn't on for everyone yet. More when it is. The mobile app post is still coming too.

As always, the roadmap is shaped by what you tell us. Email us at hi@airplx.com.
