Make more informed decisions during an engine failure with TrueGlide, which provides a dynamic estimate of your glide range based on your actual descent performance and wind conditions. When ForeFlight detects a stable descent rate, TrueGlide automatically displays a blue ring in Emergency Glide Mode alongside the existing green ring, which calculates your glide range using your aircraft's configured best glide speed and glide ratio.

Compare both rings to better assess your available landing options, or disable TrueGlide using the new setting in Map Settings when Glide Advisor is enabled.
