AirServices Australia wants me to pull the plug on iERSA by 31 July claiming that iERSA infringes in their copyright, even though iERSA does not contain anything from the ERSA and is merely an alternative to using Internet Explorer or Safari to download and view the ERSA. The fact is iERSA uses Safari.

For a licence fee, they would be willing to have the user download the ERSA from my website instead of theirs.

So from 31 July no more iERSA. Hopefully apple will approve v1.1 update by then so users of v1.0 can have some bugs fixed.

I will evaluate how much ASA wants, if they don't want too much I'll sign up, otherwise, too bad for the aviation community, I still have an app that's useful to me, and other pilots will be stuck with buying a paper copy every 3 months, and struggling with the crappy ASA website downloading one aerodrome at a time on their PCs and manually uploading PDFs to their device.
