PolarisILSKit

PolarisILSKit was a .NET Standard 2.0 library for communicating with the Polaris ILS, which was available as a package from the NuGet Gallery.

This project was archived in March of 2026. If you wish to integrate with the Polaris ILS using the Polaris API using C#, investigate the Clc.Polaris.Api NuGet package which utilizes the CLC Polaris API Helper Library upon which this package was based.
