An idea popped into my head recently, and before I even attempt a proof of concept I wanted to reach out to controllers and pilots to see if there's 1) already something similar out there, and 2) if there's any interest.

Does anyone know of an iPad app that shows live vatsim ground traffic at a selected airport?  I'm thinking it could be used as a 2nd/3rd monitor when controlling, but could be used by pilots as well.  Initial idea involves selecting an airport, displaying the FAA airport diagram of that airport, and overlaying live vatsim ground traffic on it.  I know vatsim requires a signed NDA and the app to be free to access live (4-second intervals I believe) API data, but if I could get access to that the iPad app would display ground traffic in a similar manner as VRC and other controlling apps.

Anyway, just an initial idea for now.  Let me know your thoughts.
