Georeferenced U.S. VFR Flyway Charts

• Download and view VFR flyway charts directly on ForeFlight’s map using the new VFR Flyway map layer.
• Previously only available in the Documents view, these planning charts depict potential VFR routes through and around major metropolitan areas to help VFR pilots avoid Class B airspace and commercial traffic flows.
• The charts appear as a new option at the bottom of the left-hand column in the layer selector, and as a configurable download switch in More > Downloads > Download Settings > United States.

Expanded European Coverage

• All European subscribers can now download AIPs for Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Moldova, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia and Montenegro, and Turkey. 
• The AIPs include IFR High and Low enroute charts for all countries other than Turkey, VFR procedure charts for all countries other than North Macedonia, IFR procedure charts, and documents.
• Visit foreflight.com/europe/data to learn more about what data is available for Europe and compare coverage for different countries.

Graphical NOTAMs

• Access graphical depictions of European enroute NOTAMs directly on ForeFlight’s map for improved flight planning and inflight situational awareness.
• Enable the NOTAMs/TFRs layer in ForeFlight’s layer selector to display graphical NOTAMs on the map. Graphical NOTAMs are supported for most of Europe and Turkey.
• NOTAMs are color-coded based on type and severity, with airspace and obstacle notices in gray, scheduled exercises in orange, and restricted/danger areas in red.
• ForeFlight will automatically download graphical NOTAMs when you pack for a flight so you can access them without an internet connection.

FLARM NMEA Protocol Support

• Third-party devices that deliver FLARM traffic information via the NMEA protocol can now display that traffic within ForeFlight.
• ForeFlight also supports FLARM traffic from third-party devices using our extended GDL90 protocol, as well as via uAvionix’s SkyEcho 2 ADS-B and FLARM transceiver. Visit foreflight.com/connect to learn more.

Improved Single-Tap and Map Layer Functionality

• A number of improvements allow you to do more with map layers and the single-tap gesture.
• Enable multiple shape-based map layers like TFRs and AIR/SIGMET/CWAs simultaneously, then tap where they overlap to select which one you want to view information about.
• This multi-layer “Map Info” popup also allows you to select elements from other map layers like winds aloft barbs, PIREPS, lightning, obstacles, and Aeronautical Map elements like waypoints and airways.
• You can also now tap on FBO markers that are built into ForeFlight’s Aeronautical Map airport diagrams to quickly access information about them.

‍

New Supported Document Types

• You can now import comma-separated value files (CSV), and Apple Pages, Keynote, and Number files into ForeFlight’s Documents view.
• As with other document types, you can import these files via AirDrop, email, iTunes, or via a connected cloud storage account if you have an Essential subscription or above.
• ForeFlight supports the following document types: pdf, tiff, tif, jpg, jpeg, gif, png, bmp, bmpf, txt, doc, docx, xlsx, xls, pptx, ppt, csv, pages, key, and numbers.
• Also, the Documents view now separates your personal drives from the rest so you can more easily access your imported documents and any linked cloud storage account.

Logbook Auto-Calculates Night Times from Filed Flight Plans

• Create draft Logbook entries from filed flight plans and ForeFlight will automatically calculate how much of each flight may be logged as Night Time.
• You can enable draft Logbook entries from filed flight plans in More > Logbook > Settings > Draft Entry Creation > Filed Flight Plan.
• ForeFlight also calculates Night Time and Night Landings when you create a draft Logbook entry from a recorded Track Log.
