Capture more detail in your Logbook with expanded takeoff and landing types. Use the Add Takeoff/Landing Type buttons to go beyond the standard Day/Night Takeoffs and Day/Night Full Stop Landings. The Add Takeoff Type selector lets you indicate day vs. night and whether the airport is towered, while the Add Landing Type selector includes these options and also lets you distinguish between full stop vs touch & go landings. After making your selections, tap Add to include them in your entry, where they’ll appear alongside the default types.

Note: Expanded types are not compatible with older versions of ForeFlight. Once you start logging them, you won’t be able to edit takeoff and landing details on devices running earlier versions of the app. Update all of your devices to the latest ForeFlight version to continue editing these details in your Logbook.

Release notes

Release notes

  • Log your takeoffs and landings more flexibly by selecting different types of takeoffs and landings in a single entry, with options for day vs night, towered airports, and touch & goes.
  • In addition to the default four options for Day/Night Takeoffs and Day/Night Full Stop Landings, you can now specify additional takeoff and landing types per entry using the “Add Takeoff/Landing Type” buttons below each section.
  • The Add Takeoff Type selector lets you specify day vs night as well as whether or not the airport is towered, while the Add Landing Type selector includes these options and also lets you distinguish between full stop vs touch & go landings. After making these selections you can add the new takeoff or landing type to the entry and increment the counter as you would with the default types.
  • The expanded takeoff and landing types are not backward compatible with prior versions of ForeFlight, so once you start using the new takeoff and landing types in your Logbook entries after updating to the latest ForeFlight version, you will no longer be able to edit your takeoff and landing details on devices running older versions of the app. Be sure to update to the latest ForeFlight version on all your devices if you wish to edit your Logbook from any of them.
