FLIGHT PLANNING, BRIEFING, & FILING
Plan flights with Touch Planning on the Map or full-featured form-based Flights view. Tap out a route in seconds and quickly see if flights will be affected by weather or TFRs. Helpful Route, Altitude, and Procedure Advisors make planning easy and accurate. Generate a graphical preflight briefing and file your flight plan directly from the app. Print a professional-grade Navlog for inflight reference.

WEATHER
Interactive weather layers include animated radar, global satellite and winds aloft, global icing, turbulence, and surface analysis, graphical AIR/SIGMETs, flight category, visibility, and more. View decoded METARs, TAFs, and MOS forecasts. Thoughtfully organized Imagery view puts a full range of forecast tools at your fingertips.

PLATES, CHARTS, & MAPS
Both VFR and IFR operations are covered with all of the essentials required for planning and navigation: data-driven Aeronautical Maps, VFR Sectionals, High/Low Enroute charts, SIDs, STARs, approach and taxi charts, and terrain, satellite, and street map views.

GEO-REFERENCED APPROACHES & TAXI CHARTS
Plates and taxi charts enable the real time display of your GPS location on the chart. They can also be overlaid on the Maps view along with weather and hazards for the ultimate situational awareness.

GLOBAL HAZARD AWARENESS TECHNOLOGY
Plan and fly with more confidence in all conditions and terrain. Top-down-view Hazard Advisor map layer, Terrain Profile View, and 3D Synthetic Vision seamlessly integrate into the map display to depict a clear picture of terrain and obstacle hazards anywhere in the world. When paired with an AHRS source, Synthetic Vision provides a backup attitude display.

What’s New

Version 16.4.2

Contains quality improvements to the previous 16.4.x releases. The changes since the 16.3.x release also include:

Reported Turbulence Map Layer
• Plan smoother and safer flights by seeing where pilots are actually encountering smooth air or turbulence with this powerful new map layer.
• The layer displays individual turbulence reports as color-coded dots representing turbulence intensity, which you can tap on to view the report’s age (up to approximately six hours old), altitude, airspeed, and the type code and wake category of the aircraft from which the report originated, as well as a list of nearby reports.
• An altitude slider is available to filter turbulence reports by altitude, and the Reported Turbulence layer is also available in Profile View, allowing you to view reports at all altitudes along your planned route.
• The new layer receives its data from Sentry and Sentry Plus devices, which automatically measure inflight turbulence and upload discrete turbulence reports after each flight.
• Reported Turbulence is available as two subscription add-ons: Reported Turbulence (Low) provides access to all turbulence reports up to 14,000 feet, while the Reported Turbulence (All) add-on grants access to reports at all altitudes.
• The Reported Turbulence (Low) add-on is available free of charge to owners of Sentry or Sentry Plus devices on Pro Plus subscription plans and above who register their Sentry’s serial number at plan.foreflight.com/account. A 50% discount on the Reported Turbulence (All) layer is also provided to customers who register their Sentry.

Runway Analysis: Landing Factor Selector
• Separately calculate a flight’s landing distance during pre-flight planning and before arrival to better comply with your SOP and industry guidance on mitigating runway excursions.
• While in the Landing Analysis or Emergency Return views, tap either the Surface Condition or Landing Factor fields to access the new Landing Factor Selector.
• Select either Pre-Flight / Dispatch or In-Flight / LDTA under Phase of Flight to access different options for surface condition and landing factor, with the latter also supporting runway condition codes in place of actual surface conditions.
• Selecting different surface conditions in either mode will also automatically filter the list of available landing factors, which are more clearly labeled with both percentage and factor multiplication equivalents.
• Additional settings related to landing factor selection are also available in More > Aircraft > Field Performance > Landing
• Available with ForeFlight’s Runway Analysis add-on for supported jet and select turboprop aircraft.

Runway Analysis: TOLD Card
• Brief your takeoff or landing with a clean and printer-friendly summary of the most critical pieces of information produced by Runway Analysis. 
• In the Takeoff or Landing Analysis views, tap the new TOLD button next to the Summary button in the upper-right corner to view the TOLD card, and tap the Send To button in the top-right to share or print it.
• Available with ForeFlight’s Runway Analysis add-on for supported jet and select turboprop aircraft.

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

Awesome

Downloaded it and used the resources in it to study for, get charts for, plan and fly an license renewal and instrument renewal in Australia after having not flown in that country for 7 years. It was so great and convenient, well worth the money. Am now using it to prepare for my FAA stuff. Great app!
