Edit Climb & Descent Performance Profiles

• Dial in the accuracy of ForeFlight’s calculations even further with the ability to bias climb and descent performance profiles to suit your own aircraft.
• Each aircraft type that supports built-in ForeFlight Performance Profiles has climb, cruise, and descent profiles based on manufacturer data, but previously only the cruise profiles supported biasing of time and fuel calculations. Now, both the climb and descent profiles also support biasing of time and fuel, giving you more control over how ForeFlight calculates these factors for every flight.
• Tap into the Performance Profile list from the Aircraft, Flights, or Maps views to see a list of all climb, cruise, and descent profiles. Tap Details next to any of them to access the bias adjustments.
• Specify a Fixed Time Bias in minutes and Fixed Fuel Bias in pounds using increments as low as 0.1 for each. ForeFlight will then adjust its performance calculations by the specified amount on all subsequent flight plans.

Multiple Climb & Descent Performance Profiles

• In addition to the ability to bias climb and descent profiles, a number of popular jet aircraft now also support multiple climb and descent profiles.
• Several dozen aircraft models from Bombardier, Dassault, Embraer, and Gulfstream provide multiple climb and descent profiles in ForeFlight, each one built using manufacturer-sourced data in accordance with the profiles defined in each aircraft’s POH.
• The “Apply Bias to All Climb/Descent Profiles” button within each profile’s details view allows you to quickly apply one profile’s bias values to all other climb or descent profiles for that aircraft.

New Runway Analysis Aircraft Support

• ForeFlight’s advanced Runway and Obstacle Analysis product for jets now supports Gulfstream’s GV, GVII-G600, and G450, and Bombardier’s Learjet 60XR and 35A.
• Runway Analysis is available for a growing list of aircraft types and can be purchased alongside a ForeFlight Performance subscription plan.
