ForeFlight Airport Info Documents 

• Access helpful information about many airports in Europe with new “Airport Info” documents found in the ForeFlight section of Airport Procedures.
• These documents include the same Jeppesen-sourced information previously available in Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck VFR, including airport-specific notes for ground movement, general aviation access, VFR and helicopter procedures, and more.
• The documents are included in the “Aerodrome Charts & AIP” download option for countries in Europe, and appear in the Downloads list as (for example) “Germany (ForeFlight).”

Marked Positions

• Drop markers along your route during a flight to mark points of interest or comply with position plotting requirements, then view or share the marked positions after the flight.
• Tap the Pin button on the left side of the map to mark your current position during a flight. Each marker automatically captures your GPS coordinates, altitude, speed, and allows you to record additional notes or rename the marker. Marked positions disappear from the map 15 minutes after landing.
• Marked Positions are included in an active track log recording and can be viewed after the flight in the Track Log view, or in the Flights view if any planned flight matches the time frame during which you marked any positions. 
• Export a file containing only the Marked Positions under the Flight Log section of Flights.
• You can hide Marked Positions and the Pin button in Map Settings > Marked Positions.
• Marked Positions are available with ForeFlight Performance plans.

Arrival Time Planning on Flights

• Plan a flight based on a desired Arrival Time, rather than a Departure Time, using the new Arrival Time Planning feature. Instead of selecting a flight’s departure time, you can now select a target arrival time and ForeFlight computes the required departure time.
• On Flights, look for the new ETD/ETA toggle to the left of the date/time selector, which is now the first line of the flight plan form.
• In ETA mode ForeFlight will work backwards from the desired arrival time to calculate when you need to depart, then display that time at the top of the flight and in the Flight Summary on the left, which now displays each flight’s ETD, ETE, and ETA for quick reference.
• Arrival Time Planning is available with ForeFlight Performance plans.

Tap Extended Centerlines for Runway Information

• Quickly access runway information for any airport in your route by tapping the labels at the ends of Extended Centerlines when that setting is enabled.
• Tap “Select Runway” in the information popup to add that runway to your route and highlight it, and tap “Straight In” for any runway at your destination airport to both highlight it and add a straight-in 2nm final to your route, which you can also add using the Traffic Pattern option in Procedure Advisor.
• Enable Extended Centerlines in Map Settings > Map Overlays.

SID/STAR Aircraft Type Restrictions

• Easily identify aircraft type restrictions for departure and arrival procedures with new colored tags.
• The tags for Piston, Turboprop, and Jet aircraft appear in the list of procedure plates when viewing an airport’s information on the Airports or Maps views.
• The presence of one or more tags indicates that the procedure is restricted to the aircraft types shown.
