The operator of Aviators considers equal access important, and works to make the app and the website accessible in line with the Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities (Service Accessibility) Regulations, 5773-2013, and the Israeli standard ת"י 5568 at level AA.
This statement is published in Hebrew as the operative version; this English text is provided for convenience.
What has been made accessible
The app is built from standard interface components that expose an accessibility semantics tree to the operating system, so it works with the built-in screen readers TalkBack and VoiceOver.
The app respects the operating system's font-size setting.
The app fully supports Hebrew right-to-left layout, and switching between Hebrew and English.
The app supports both dark and light modes.
Screens added to the app are checked at phone widths from 320 points up to tablets, in Hebrew and in English, at larger operating-system text sizes, and in light and dark mode.
The website pages are built from semantic text, can be enlarged, and do not rely on colour as the only way information is conveyed.
What has not been made accessible, and why
We would rather say this plainly than claim a level of conformance that has not been tested:
No full professional accessibility audit of the app against ת"י 5568 level AA by a certified accessibility consultant has been carried out yet. One is planned.
The map screens present information that is visual and geographic by nature — routes, airspace and markers drawn on a map. That content is not fully accessible to a screen reader, and we do not know of a way to make it so.
The NOTAM map draws notices as shapes and circles on a chart, with a list beside it. The list can be read with a screen reader; the shapes on the map cannot.
Documents you attach as PDF are opened in the phone's own PDF viewer, so their accessibility depends on the file you attached and on that viewer.
Scanned aerodrome charts are official documents shown as an image or a PDF exactly as published by the Civil Aviation Authority of Israel. We are not permitted to alter them, so we cannot make them accessible.
