Federal Aviation Administration Goes High TechFAA smartphone

The FAA has responded to the increased traffic coming from mobile users by recently releasing their mobile 1.0 website that allows users to use some cool features while on the go.   The biggest disappointment for me is the lack of support for AD research.  Lets hope that they will include that in the next update.   Why the FAA would include a wildlife strike option but leave out an airworthiness directive look-up feature is beyond me.
