Flight Binders in Plates

‍

• Quickly gather, organize, and access the plates you need for an entire flight using new Flight Binders for a more seamless planning and inflight experience. 
• New flight binders automatically suggest airports and procedures based on the most relevant routes from the Maps or Flights views, and you can also select from the full list of your planned flights. Tap Import at any time to load a new route from Maps or Flights into the current Flight Binder.
• Tap Send To > Plates on the Flights view to automatically create a new Flight Binder based on the current planned flight.
• Flight binders organize plates by category in a vertical column on the left side of the screen, with all airport diagrams, SIDs/STARs, approaches, and miscellaneous plates for each airport grouped together and accessible with a single button.
• Preview and select the particular plates within each category that you plan to use for the flight to create a neatly-sorted list that you can tap through or swipe with three fingers to move between adjacent plates.
• Your existing plate binders are still accessible under Other Binders in the new slide-out Plate Binders drawer.

Expanded Place Labels

• ForeFlight’s collection of Place Labels has grown by 100-fold, with over 1.4 million labels now available for the entire globe.
• Included are labels for countries, states/provinces, cities/towns/villages, national parks, bodies of water like oceans, lakes, and rivers, and more.
