NEW Version 5.1 of MiraCheck has been released. This release now supports airports across the globe for Voice Search and the Flight Plan feature. You can learn more in this post…
IMPORTANT: Some users after installing Version 5.1 and above are not getting the prompt to Index Airports. When then click on the ‘Index OurAirports for Search’ also nothing is appearing. If you have this behavior, remove the app and re-install it from the AppStore. It should fix the issue and you should get a prompt at the beginning to index the airports.
NOTE. Version 5.1.1 now allows any of the three codes for an airport (ICAO, IATA or Local) to be used for Voice Search or Flight Plans. F…
Version 5.0 of MiraCheck has been released! There are a ton of new features to explore. As with every large software release there is the potential for some things to initially not work as perfectly as we would like. Please email support@miralouaero.com and this forum to communicate any issues that you may see.
Here is a list of topics for the new release:
Ask your copilot information about an airport.
NOTE: Starting with Version 5.1 of MiraCheck airports across the globe are now supported. If you query by name, it must match the name in the database. We use OuAirports.com and you can see the names there. As an alternative you can query by the airport code as shown below. Some examples:
WHAT IS THE ELEVATION AT ALLEGHENY COUNTY AIRPORT?
WHAT IS THE ELEVATION AT K.A.G.C.?
WHAT IS THE ELEVATION AT KILO ALPHA GOLF CHARLIE?
WHAT IS THE RUNWAY INFO?
…
By creating a flight plan you give you co-pilot more context about your flight so she can be more pro-active. Currently a Flight Plan consists of your departure airport and the destination airport only. In the future, other navaids along the route may be supported.

You: CREATE A FLIGHT PLAN
Mira: WHERE ARE YOU TAKING OFF FROM?
You: ALLEGHENY COUNTY
Mira: WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
You: BUTLER COUNTY
At the top of the screen you will see a Route. You can also tap on the Flight Plan an…
You can configure Mira to monitor all the phases of flight and have her be proactive as you transition into a new phase. For example, when you start to descend, enter cruise or are about to land. Just make sure the phase of flight is checked that you want her to monitor in the CoPilot panel of MiraCheck Cloud.
You can access the CoPilot phases by selecting the top node in your checklist outline and it will be on the right at the bottom.
