Generate a graphical preflight briefing and file your flight plan directly from the app. Print a professional-grade Navlog for inflight reference.

Expired account

It would be a great idea for foreflight to provide 30 day trial… my trial expired 2 or so years ago before the Australian updates occurred.

Developer Response ,

ozcountry please contact the Pilot Support Team directly at team@foreflight.com and we'll be happy to reactivate a trial for you with Australian data.

Not a RW pilot, Just a Simmer

As a simmer, it satisfies all my objectives. Admittedly, I do not use the advanced weather features and other facilities eagerly sought by rw pilots. I am from Australia, however, I use the US Charts, primarily, California. That’s because I used “PilotEdge” which I consider a unique service. Flying thru LA Airspace is pretty daunting and being able to look ahead and identify your location and restrictions makes things that much easier. That was the first reason why I subscribed to the basic service. Another reason is the clarity of display - irrespective of the zoom level ... great for guys who are getting older faster than their aircraft taking off (me). The third reason is everything is at your fingertips - all the charts imaginable and the highlighting facilities that exist. The fourth reason is the SUPPORT service. This is really something. Ask a question and presto you have an answer. I bet some of the staff live down under. I use FF on FSX and lately on Xplane 11 in conjunction the Reality GTN. They compliment each other admittedly with quite a bit redundancy. Price wise - happy. Almost forgot - taxiing thru a complex maze in a large airport is a breeze. Five out of Five. Charles Abela

Lacking so many safety critical features

I could go on an absolute rant but I won’t. Company claims to fully support Australia but can’t even tell you LSALT’s along you’re route or display critical points. It can’t even give you correct routing from the route advisor. Nearly $600 AUD for the performance plan. An absolute waste of money when you can get nearly all the same features plus Australia focused ones from AvPlan and OzRunways for less then half the money. Don’t waste you’re time and money.
