Airport 3D View

• Get a 3-dimensional preview of the airport environment combining terrain data and aerial imagery to better prepare for arrival.
• Selectable runway buttons allow you to visualize straight-in approaches by automatically positioning the camera along the glideslope, with the ability to rotate and zoom the view up to a distance of 15 nautical miles.
• A data readout provides information about the runway and current camera elevation, and the distance and angle of the camera from the end of the selected runway.
• Airport 3D View is included in Performance Plus, Business Performance, and MFB Performance subscription plans.

‍

Breadcrumbs

• View your flight’s GPS track from takeoff to landing directly on the map.
• Breadcrumbs automatically activate on takeoff and end when you land, persisting for up to 30 minutes afterward so you can review them. 
• Tap on the breadcrumb trail at any time to view flight metrics, and to save the breadcrumb trail as a new track log or reset it without saving.

Expanded Coverage for the Netherlands, Denmark, and Faroe Islands

• All European subscribers can now download AIPs for the Netherlands, Denmark, and the Faroe Islands, which include airport diagrams, IFR and VFR procedure charts, VFR ICAO charts, IFR enroute charts for the Netherlands, and documents. Jeppesen’s IFR and VFR aeronautical data is also included for all three countries.
• Two new optional VFR add-ons are also available to enhance your visual flying:
  
  • Netherlands DFS Visual 500 Chart
  • Denmark DFS Visual 500 Chart
• ForeFlight already provides advanced flight planning capabilities in all three countries, including fast autorouting and EUROCONTROL route validation, IFR and VFR flight plan filing, and helpful flight plan notifications like EUROCONTROL slot allocation messages, flight suspension and de-suspension notices, and calculated takeoff time (CTOT) messages caused by flight plan delays.

G-AIRMETs via ADS-B

• Access the FAA’s new graphical AIRMETs in ForeFlight when you fly with a connected ADS-B In receiver, helping you stay aware of potentially dangerous weather as it develops.
• G-AIRMETs appear just like regular AIRMETs in ForeFlight and can be filtered by hazard type, and also include a new time slider so you can filter G-AIRMETs based on their effective times.
• One type of G-AIRMET, freezing levels, appears as its own layer, using colored lines to indicate where freezing occurs at different altitudes for the contiguous U.S.

‍

Logbook Enhancements

• Search for Logbook entries using additional criteria, including entry comments, tags, and aircraft equipment type.
• When viewing a person’s details in Logbook > People, see all the flights that they’ve been added to under Associated Entries.
• When you create a new entry using the Add Next Flight button, any people that you added to the first flight will automatically appear in the new flight.

‍

KMZ File Support

• Import and display KMZ files on their own or in content packs in addition to KML files.
• KMZ files allow you to include custom icons that aren’t natively supported by ForeFlight, bundle multiple KML map layers together, and support rich text formatting within a placemark’s description.
