What’s New

Version 17.5.2

Unusual Attitude Alerts
• Quickly recover from potentially dangerous attitudes with the help of a prominent aural and visual alert while connected to certified attitude sources.
• The alert triggers when your attitude exceeds certain customizable limits for 2 seconds or more, initially set as 25° pitch up/down, 40° bank above 2000 feet AGL, and 50° bank below 2000 feet AGL.
• Regardless of which part of the app you’re currently viewing, the alert opens a window depicting your current attitude in Synthetic Vision, with buttons along the bottom to either dismiss the alert or silence it for 10 minutes.
• Unusual Attitude Alerts require a connection to a certified and installed AHRS source such as panel avionics; AHRS-capable portable devices cannot trigger the alert.
• This alert is disabled by default; you can enable it and customize the attitude limits in Map Settings > Alerts > Unusual Attitudes.

Automatic Logbook Exports
• Safeguard your Logbook data with automatic monthly exports of your entire ForeFlight Logbook sent directly to your email.
• First introduced on ForeFlight Web’s Logbook tab, this setting is now available in ForeFlight Mobile in More > Logbook > Settings > Auto-Export.
• Enable the Export to Email setting to initiate an immediate export of your full Logbook data via email and schedule a recurring export each month as long as the setting is enabled.
• Tap Export Options to select which format you’d like to receive the export in: CSV and/or PDF, with the latter mirroring the “Complete Logbook - 2 Page” Logbook report type.
• Tap Export Now at the bottom of the view at any time to trigger a fresh export of your Logbook data and reset the monthly export schedule.

Logbook Draft Entry Multi-Select
• Clean up a backlog of draft Logbook entries quickly and easily with the ability to select multiple entries at once for bulk deletion or approval.
• Tap Logbook > All Drafts & Requests to view all draft entries, then tap Select in the top-right to and tap on individual entries to select them, or tap Select All in the bottom right corner.
• You can also filter entries by airport, date or other criteria using the Filter bar at the top of the screen before tapping Select to easily limit your selections to only certain draft entries.
• After making your selections, tap Delete or Approve in the bottom-right corner to apply the action to all selected entries in bulk.

Runway End Coordinates
• Easily view and copy the coordinates for any runway’s end threshold at the bottom of the Runway Details view in Airports > Runways or via any airport popup on the Map.

Extended Decimal Precision Setting
• Add an extra decimal of precision to all distance values displayed in the Instrument Panel and XTRK in Synthetic Vision with a new setting in More > Settings > Units/Time.

Australian SARTIME Filing
• Pilots flying in Australia can now comply with the regulatory requirement to specify Search & Rescue times and details as part of their flight plan via ForeFlight’s flight plan filing form.
• After planning any flight that includes at least one airport in Australia, tap Proceed to File in the bottom-right of the Flights view to open the flight plan filing form, then scroll down to the REMARKS/OTHER INFORMATION section at tap SARTIME filing at the bottom.
• The SARTIME filing menu lets you specify the DTG time in UTC, select whether the time is being specified for arrival or departure, and the corresponding airport or lat/long coordinate.
• Tap Add in the top-right after entering these details to include them in the filed flight plan’s remarks section.

Who do you ask?

When you have an Apple iPad, Multiple Garmin devices, and Foreflight… who do you call to get a straight answer in regard to “How does this Hardware and Software connect together?”

Well, in my case I have 5th gen iPad mini running Foreflight software, a Garmin GNC 355, and I’d love to know if it’s worth the $8000 to buy a Garmin GNX 345. To be worth it, I would need to KNOW for certain that I could communicate both directions between the 355 GPS and the iPad / Foreflight AND also receive all of the ADS-B in as well as Weather from the GNX 345. Does Garmin who produces the $20K in avionics know… no they don’t, they directed me to Foreflight. Does the Avionics ship know… no they don’t, they direct me to Foreflight. When I look at Apple connecting multiple devices via multiple Bluetooth connections they say yes you can have multiple Bluetooth connections and then give an example of connecting multiple ear buds which will play a common source of music BUT that is not the same as connecting into two complex avionics with bi-directional communication on at least one of the two. Long story short, just send the question to Foreflight is my recommendation because within hours of me doing so, I had a response which said definitely that I could simultaneously connect both the GNC 355 and GTX 345 via Bluetooth to my iPad, transfer flight plans back and forth and also get the weather and ADS-B in traffic info through Foreflight…. Thank you Foreflight support team

We use this daily!

We fly 12 to 18 hours per week with ForeFlight and Stratus 2. ForeFlight has come along way since it’s introduction with synthetic vision, excellent integration with Stratus and so much more. I did get concerned with the previous version as we started having multiple crashes on two different newer iPads daily. We do load multiple waypoint and it seemed like that might have been a factor? I always make sure my iPad has plenty of open SSD space and the newer iPads have 2GB or more RAM, so I wonder if the software rolled out too fast? We’re also very careful about not updating the OS until the all clear is given. I just hope ForeFlight’s team slows down a little on all the bells and whistles. It’s much more crucial for the product to work flawlessly versus having 3D views of airports / etc. All in all ForeFlight is the BEST aviation App on the market and their team is obviously awesome at coding. My concerns and comments here about previous crashes are only because we’re addicted to ForeFlight and never want to see it burdened with issues. The new version seems to be more stable with only the rare crash. It does open back up in seconds right were you left off. Keep up the good work. Thanks ForeFlight!

Life Saver

Early in my flying career, shortly after my first solo but before my ppl check ride I was saved by Foreflight. Flying solo, I was out practicing maneuvers and not paying any attention to the weather that was coming in behind me, and covering the airport I was to return to. When it was time to come back I pointed the nose toward my home base and before I really knew what I had done, I flew vfr into imc. No where near instrument rated I was truly lost in a sea of white. Thankfully I had Foreflight on my iPad with synthetic vision and the stratus 2 feeding attitude information. I transitioned to flying the plane like a video game watching that screen. I was able to keep the plane under control and maneuver though and out of the imc to and alternate airport and land safely. It was an absolutely terrifying event for me. I truly believe the outcome would not have been even close to this had Foreflight not been in the cockpit with me. For this I am truly thankful and fly with Foreflight on every flight. Through the years Foreflight has only increased its capabilities and has never let me down. I recommend it to everyone who flies. Thanks for a great product and saving my life.
