Expanded Coverage for Spain and Portugal

• All European subscribers can now download AIPs for Spain and Portugal, which include IFR and VFR procedure charts, airport diagrams, and documents. Jeppesen’s IFR and VFR aeronautical data is also included for both countries.
• The DFS VFR 500 Chart covering both Spain and Portugal is also available as an optional add-on to enhance your visual flying.

Takeoff & Landing Performance

• Ensure that you can safely take off and land with fast runway performance calculations for supported piston and turboprop aircraft.
• ForeFlight uses published runway performance data and current weather conditions to calculate the most important distance and speed metrics for both takeoff and landing, and warns you when the results exceed the selected runway’s limits.
• Quickly customize the calculation’s inputs for easy scenario planning, or change a runway’s usable length to comply with Declared Distance requirements.
• ForeFlight supports Takeoff and Landing Performance for many popular piston and turboprop aircraft, with no user setup required. Visit foreflight.com/aircraft/library to see if we support your aircraft type.
• Takeoff and Landing Performance is included in ForeFlight Performance subscription plans.

‍

Flight Sharing

• Share planned and filed flight plans with others via Airdrop, email, or text directly from the Flights view, enabling better coordination with fellow pilots and crew.
• Sharing a flight with someone else adds a read-only version of the flight to their Flights list with a label indicating who shared it. The shared flight stays up to date with any changes you make to the original as long as an internet connection is available.
• The recipient can’t change any of the flight’s details, but they can view its Navlog and Briefing, load the flight onto the Maps view using the Send To button, or create a copy of the flight that they can edit on their device.

‍

Logbook Improvements

• ForeFlight will now automatically suggest pictures and screenshots you took during a flight with that flight’s logbook entry, greatly simplifying the task of adding photos to a new entry.
• When ForeFlight creates a draft logbook entry from a new track log, photos and screenshots that you took during the flight appear in the draft entry as suggestions, allowing you to select the ones you want to keep and discard the rest.
• Logbook also now supports night vision goggles (NVG) currency tracking for both rotorcraft and airplane pilots, with separate currency trackers for NVG operations with and without passengers.
• The new Night Vision Goggles section of each logbook entry allows you to log NVG time and number of NVG operations, and add an NVG Proficiency tag to the entry after a checkride.

‍

Enhanced Navlog

• The Flights view’s detailed Navlog now includes more information and capabilities to help you better prepare for every flight and reference planned information during the flight.
• List of updates:
  
  • Altitude added next to the selected cruise profile in the upper left header.
  • Altitude added after the route in the summary section.
  • Added "MAG" to clarify that HDG and CRS are magnetic in the waypoint list.
  • Added PIC to the top of the Summary & Times table.
  • (Performance plans only) Added average fuel flow per hour in the Summary & Times table.
  • Added "Signature" row to the notes section.
  • Airport details table moved to below the Summary & Times table.
  • Added airport diagrams for departure and destination airports, when available.

‍

Unsupported SID/STAR Legs Use Dotted Route Line

• ForeFlight will now use a dotted line style for any leg of a SID or STAR that it can’t properly depict in the displayed route, including track, course, or heading from a fix to an altitude, track from a fix for a certain distance, course or heading to a radial or intercept, arc to a fix, etc.
• These route style changes replace the warning dialog that previously advised you to check the plate/chart for full info when adding unsupported legs to a route.
