Files in Flights

• Attach files, documents, and photos to a flight plan for faster inflight access and improved organization.
• The new “Files” button at the top of Flights lets you attach files from your camera or iPhoto library, iOS Files app, or ForeFlight’s Documents view. You can also import files via AirDrop, drag and drop from apps in Slide Over view, or attach scratchpads from the Scratchpads view.
• Flights supports a wide range of file type attachments, including images, PDFs, Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint files, .txt and .csv files, and more.
• You can annotate attached files while viewing them in Flights, and also rename files or send them to other apps using the iOS share sheet.
• Files in Flights sync between all of your mobile devices so you can access them from your iPad or iPhone.
• Files in Flights are available with ForeFlight Performance plans.

Enhanced Approach Procedure Markers

• Approach procedures loaded in your route on the Maps view can now show Jeppesen-sourced speed, altitude, and IAF/FAF information for each waypoint marker in the procedure, even when the procedure plate isn’t displayed.
• Each marker’s label shows associated altitude and/or speed limits in addition to the waypoint name.
• Additionally, the markers for an approach’s initial approach fix and final approach fix use unique icons for faster identification.
• Enhanced Approach Procedure Markers are available with ForeFlight Performance plans. They are available for most, but not all approach procedures in ForeFlight.

‍

NOTAM Warnings in Route Editor

• The Route Editor on the Maps view will now warn you of airport or runway closure NOTAMs affecting airports in your route by displaying a red warning icon on the airport’s route bubble.
• Tap the route bubble and tap “View Alert NOTAM” in the list of options to see the NOTAM or NOTAMs producing the alert.
• Tap “Show All NOTAMs” to view other NOTAMs at that airport.
• NOTAM warnings in the Route Editor are only available on iPad, not on iPhone or ForeFlight Web.

‍

Georeferenced SIDs/STARs in Procedure Advisor

• Procedure Advisor will now show Departure and Arrival procedure plates in the Procedure Preview when you select a procedure with a georeferenced plate, just like with Approach procedures.
• Georeferenced SID/STAR plates in ForeFlight are currently only available from Jeppesen.
• Viewing georeferenced charts on the map or in Procedure Advisor is available with ForeFlight’s Pro Plus subscription plan and above.

NAV CANADA Flight Plan Fields

• Pilots filing flight plans in Canada can now access new fields in the filing form to better comply with NAV CANADA requirements for VFR flights.
• Any flight that includes a Canadian departure or destination shows the NAV CANADA section at the bottom of the flight plan form, with fields for specifying your aircraft’s undercarriage type, the flight’s arrival report, and your aircraft’s emergency locator transmitter (ELT) type. The Arrival Report field indicates where the pilot of a VFR flight will close the flight plan, for example: "London FIC".
• In addition, the flight plan form now provides “Place Name” fields in the departure and destination sections to help ATC identify either location when you file with lat/long coordinates instead of airport identifiers.
• The Aircraft Detail view also includes a new NAV CANADA section with Undercarriage and ELT Type fields, allowing you to independently configure these for each of your aircraft.
