Description

Download the app for a 30-day free trial. ForeFlight is the integrated flight app with all the essentials for VFR & IFR route planning, flight plan filing, and flying in Europe.

ForeFlight is the most widely used application by individual pilots and professional flight crews to access weather and airport information, plan flights with optimized routing, file flight plans via EUROCONTROL, access and manage electronic charts and maps, reference flight manuals and documents, avoid terrain and obstacles with powerful hazard awareness tools, access in-flight traffic (and weather where supported), and aid enroute navigation.

ForeFlight requires a subscription. Visit our website for more information on the available plan levels.

Please note: Location is used to enable a moving map and to record track logs, push notifications are used for important bulletins and flight alerts, and contacts are used to add people to flights.

CHARTS & DATA TO MEET YOUR NEEDS
ForeFlight’s state-of-the-art map engine gives the app its signature speed and fluidity when panning and zooming. Data-driven Aeronautical map uses Jeppesen’s global VFR and IFR navigation data to depict waypoints, airports, airspace, airways, arrival/departure procedures, circuits, holds, no overfly areas, and more to support VFR and IFR flying in Europe.

Europe geo-region includes AIP enroute, procedure, and aerodrome charts and documents provided via EUROCONTROL. Optional add-ons include Jeppesen VFR Procedures, Jeppesen IFR Airway Manual coverages, and the German DFS VFR AIP and Charts. More countries and coverages to come.

EUROCONTROL-INTEGRATED FLIGHT PLANNING, BRIEFING, & FILING
Plan routes using the interactive Maps tab or the form-based Flights tab. Graphical Route Advisor produces EUROCONTROL validated routes within a matter of seconds. Simply tap the desired route to add it to your plan.

File your flight plan from the mobile app or on the web and receive Calculated Take-Off Time (CTOT) notifications (if applicable to your flight). Our global, redundant AFTN connection provides fast, direct, and unlimited access to filing flight plans with no additional cost or account configuration required. ForeFlight currently supports filing within and between any EUROCONTROL member states and Greenland. Generate a graphical preflight briefing and print a professional-grade Navlog for inflight reference.

SUPERIOR WEATHER VISUALIZATION
Overlay a wide selection of interactive weather layers on the Maps view, along with your route line, and quickly see if conditions will affect your flight. View animated radar, global satellite and winds aloft, icing, turbulence, isobars, METAR-based layers, and more. Color-coded METARs/TAFs with decoded text help you quickly interpret conditions.

GEO-REFERENCED APPROACHES & TAXI CHARTS
See the real time display of your GPS location on the chart. For ultimate situational awareness, overlay them onto the Maps view, along with weather and hazards in one integrated view.

GLOBAL HAZARD AWARENESS TECHNOLOGY
Top-down-view Hazard Advisor map layer, Profile View, automatic Hazard Alerts, and 3D Synthetic Vision seamlessly integrate into the map view for a clear picture of terrain and obstacle hazards anywhere in the world. Features Jeppesen’s high-resolution terrain and obstacle data. Pair with an AHRS source for a backup attitude display on Synthetic Vision.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES INCLUDE:
Built-in documents catalog
Airport business and fuel price information
Weight & Balance
Over-the-air data updates using delta-downloads technology
Chart color inversion for better night flying experience
Access to web planner

What’s New

Version 16.4

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.
