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 16.3.1

Aeronautical Map Drawer
• A consolidated drawer now houses all Aeronautical Map toggles and settings, optimizing space when you aren’t using it.
• Tap the new button in the lower-left corner of the Maps view with the Aeronautical Map layer enabled to open the drawer and toggle map elements like airports, airspace, waypoints, airways, terrain, and more, or tap the ellipses button at the very bottom to access Aeronautical Map Settings.
• Below the toggles are new Aeronautical Modes for IFR High, IFR Low, and VFR, which you can select to quickly change altitude-based map elements like waypoints, navaids, airways, ATC boundaries, and VFR map elements.
• Any changes you make to the quick toggles or settings only apply to the currently selected Aeronautical Mode, so you can configure each mode with separate toggle selections and settings and change all of them at once just by switching modes.
• The Aeronautical Map Drawer will automatically close after a period of inactivity - 10 seconds by default. You can increase or decrease this time using the “Auto-Dismiss After” setting at the top of the Aeronautical Map Settings menu. You can also tap anywhere on the map to close the drawer.

Basic Navlog Template
• Tailored for VFR pilots, the new Basic Navlog offers a cleaner format resembling a traditional navlog.
• From the Flights view, tap the Navlog button next to Briefing at the top of a flight plan to open the Navlog, then tap the Settings cog in the top-right to select the Basic template.
• The Basic Navlog also has better print quality compared to the other Navlog formats, especially when using half-sheet printing.

Power Lines on Basemap
• Plan and fly with global power line depictions on ForeFlight's high-resolution Basemap for enhanced hazard awareness.
• Power lines are depicted on the map in a distinct maroon color, presented as lines with hash marks for easy identification.
• The Basemap is usually paired with the Aeronautical Map and can be seen by turning off other chart layers that cover it. Download the high-resolution basempa for other regions in More > Downloads > Data Settings.

Sentry Allows Cellular Data
• Access internet data in ForeFlight via your device’s cellular connection even while connected to any Sentry-family ADS-B receiver to check internet-sourced radar, amend a flight plan prior to takeoff, and more.
• Internet-based map layers will remain selectable while connected to Sentry so you can easily jump between them and live ADS-B weather while receiving cellular data.

New Airspace Settings
• Tailor the display of airspace on ForeFlight's Aeronautical Map with global Class E airspace filtering and more granular control over different types of Special Use Airspace.
• Previously only applied to US airspace, the Class E toggle now shows or hides Class E airspace globally. This toggle has also been grouped with TRSA and Mode C toggles in the Controlled Airspace section of the Aeronautical Map Settings menu.
• The new Special Use Airspace section of the Settings menu combines existing toggles for Parachute Areas and ADIZ with new, more granular toggles: "Prohibited & Restricted," "MOA, Alert, and Training," "Caution, Danger, & Warning," "TRA & TSA," and "Other."
• Access these and other airspace settings via the Settings button at the bottom of the new Aeronautical Map Drawer.

Southern Africa VFR Charts
• Detailed VFR charts providing comprehensive local airspace details are now accessible for several countries across southern Africa: Angola, Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
• You can add this region to your ForeFlight subscription via the ForeFlight website and select countries in More > Downloads > Region Settings to download charts.
