Textron Aviation has paused all new production of the Beechcraft Bonanza G36 and Baron G58 as it evaluates the future of both piston aircraft lines. According to the company, the halt allows Textron to assess long-term demand, supply chain conditions, and anticipated modernization needs. No end-of-life declaration has been made, and Textron emphasized that it will continue supporting the existing fleet, including parts availability and engineering services. The pause applies only to new manufacturing, and previously delivered aircraft are unaffected. Textron has not given a timeline for when a decision about the long-term direction of the Bonanza and Baron programs will be announced.

AOPA President & CEO Darren Pleasance testified before the U.S. House Aviation Subcommittee, highlighting progress on the 2024 FAA Reauthorization and pressing priorities for general aviation. He cited gains such as expanded BasicMed, a new national DPE office, improved registry privacy and processing, and assurances that 100LL remains available during the transition to unleaded fuels. Lawmakers also probed topics ranging from ADS-B data being used to levy fees, to SAF and unleaded fuel challenges, experimental aircraft safety, and key “watchouts” as ATC modernization moves ahead.

Over the past few months, we’ve gathered feedback from pilots who want a smoother, more seamless planning experience. The result? Four high‑impact updates that directly address the most common requests from our community:

1. Multi‑Leg Trip Planning with Fuel Stops

Gone are the days of piecing together a cross‑country route one leg at a time. With our new Multi‑Leg Trip Planning feature, you can:

• Create a single trip that includes every waypoint and fuel stop.
• View and edit all legs in one unified interface—no more switching back and forth.
• See total distance, estimated fuel burn, and alternates for each segment at a glance.

Whether you’re planning a quick afternoon hop or a multi‑state adventure, you’ll save time and eliminate unnecessary headaches.

2. Real‑Time Flight Plan Notifications from Flight Service

Staying on top of IFR clearances, VFR activations, and closures just got easier. Now, iFlightPlanner for AOPA will:

• Push automatic alerts whenever your flight plan status changes.
• Display inbound ATC clearances or flight plan cancellations in real time.
• Allow you to authorize Flight Service once and receive notifications seamlessly.

No more manually refreshing or wondering if your flight plan has been picked up—our system keeps you informed the moment something changes.

3. New Profile View for Terrain Awareness

Terrain awareness is critical, especially when you’re flying unfamiliar routes. Our new Terrain Profile View:

• Shows an elevation profile of your entire route, highlighting potential danger areas.
• Visualizes high‑ground, mountainous regions in a simple color-coded cross‑section.
• Helps you make more informed routing decisions before you climb into the cockpit.

With this tool, you’ll build safer, more confident flight plans—especially in mountainous or hilly terrain.

By combining robust tools with a commitment to enhancing member value, iFlightPlanner for AOPA is launching new features that make cross-country planning, interactions with Flight Service, and in-flight safety simpler and more intuitive than ever!

Here's a look at what's in store:

Multi-Leg Planning with Fuel Stops

Planning cross-country trips is getting easier! Currently available as an iFlightPlanner Premium feature, multi-leg planning is coming to iFlightPlanner for AOPA in 2025. This update will allow you to seamlessly organize your entire trip, including fuel stops, in a single, unified trip. No more juggling multiple legs across different interfaces. With all legs accessible at once, you’ll have greater control and clarity when managing multi-leg trips. This feature significantly simplifies planning and ensures your cross-country adventures are both efficient and stress-free.

Streamlined Access with Single Sign-On

Tired of managing multiple sets of credentials when accessing iFlightPlanner on your iPhone or iPad? With iFlightPlanner and AOPA’s new single sign-on integration, you’ll enjoy a unified sign-in experience across all platforms. This enhancement will eliminate the hassle of multiple login credentials, allowing you to focus on flight planning and less on password resets. It’s one more way iFlightPlanner is ensuring ease of use for you as an AOPA member.

Enhanced Flight Plan Filing

Filing and managing your flight plans is about to get a major upgrade, too. Real-time notifications from Flight Service will now integrate directly into iFlightPlanner for AOPA, keeping you informed of important flight plan status changes. Whether it’s an IFR ATC clearance or the activation and closure of a VFR flight plan, you’ll have instant updates to stay on top of every detail. This real-time connectivity ensures smoother operations from pre-flight to post-flight. Just make sure to authorize your iFlightPlanner account with Flight Service!

Profile View

Safety meets simplicity with the introduction of Profile View, an all-new feature designed to help you visualize your route in relation to elevation and potential terrain-related trouble spots. This feature has been the most member-requested enhancement since iFlightPlanner for AOPA first launched and we’re thrilled to bring it to you! The initial version of Profile View will offer a basic depiction of your flight path over terrain, making it easier than ever to identify and avoid hazards. This enhanced situational awareness is especially beneficial for navigating unfamiliar terrain and planning the safest possible route.

Why These Updates Matter

At iFlightPlanner, we’re passionate about making flight planning intuitive, efficient, and safe. Each of these enhancements was designed with AOPA members in mind, offering a blend of cutting-edge technology and user-focused improvements.

In a recent statement, AOPA President Darren Pleasance emphasized the organization's dedication to a transparent and safe shift toward unleaded aviation gasoline (avgas).

AOPA maintains neutrality regarding specific unleaded fuel options, advocating instead for a "burn and learn" approach. This method involves real-world testing of FAA-approved unleaded fuels to gather data and share findings with the aviation community. AOPA's own experience with General Aviation Modifications Inc.'s G100UL fuel has been positive, and the organization plans to evaluate Swift Fuels' 100R as it becomes available.

Pleasance underscores the importance of rapid and transparent assessments by both the FAA and fuel producers to address any concerns promptly, ensuring the entire industry benefits from shared knowledge.

AOPA encourages pilots to report their experiences with unleaded fuels, contributing to a collective effort to achieve a safe and effective transition to an unleaded future.

Great news for general aviation pilots! Thanks to AOPA’s advocacy, Signature Flight Support has announced a new policy capping handling fees for piston singles and twins at select locations. Even better, these fees will be waived entirely with a qualifying fuel purchase.

This change follows ongoing efforts from AOPA, which has pushed for more transparency and fairness in FBO pricing. Many GA pilots have long voiced concerns about high handling fees at major FBOs, often making it cost-prohibitive to stop at certain locations. By capping and waiving fees, Signature is taking a step in the right direction toward making its network more accessible for GA pilots.

If you operate a piston single or twin, check with your destination Signature FBO to see how these changes affect your next stop. As always, it's best to confirm fuel purchase requirements in advance.

For more details, read AOPA's full announcement.

This is a significant win for general aviation, and iFlightPlanner is here to help you find the most cost-effective and pilot-friendly stops for your next flight!
