VFR Waypoints

• View, plan, and file with VFR Checkpoints and Visual Reporting Points on the Aeronautical Map layer. 
• VFR Checkpoints are easily spotted with a turquoise flag icon, while Visual Reporting Points use a turquoise triangle within a circle icon.
• Tap to view additional information or to add them to a flight plan.
• Each VFR Checkpoint or Visual Reporting Point is associated with the nearest airport, and that airport code will show in the FPL view next to its name.
• These points are also visible on your route in the Navlog View, Profile View, and 3D View.
• In the Flights view, you will see shortcodes for these points on your route, combining the ICAO code for the associated airport and the point's name.
• Briefings will use the long code and short code.
• ForeFlight will automatically convert VFR waypoints to lat/long coordinates on the ICAO flight form.
• VFR Checkpoints and Visual Reporting Points are enabled automatically but can be disabled in Map Settings > VFR Aeronautical Details while the Aeronautical Map layer is enabled.

Airports Without Codes

• Plan and file flights to and from small airfields that lack an official ICAO or IATA code designation, just as you would with larger airports.
• Supported airport types without code designations include airfields, heliports, gliderports, hang gliderports, and ultralight fields.
• Tap these airports to view additional details and add them to your flight plan, and search for them by name using the Search bar.
• When you file a flight plan with one of these airports, ForeFlight will automatically file the departure or destination as ZZZ in Section 16 of the ICAO flight plan and add the latitude and longitude under Section 18.

Ownship Colors

• Improve the visibility of your ownship marker or just fly a bird of a different color with Ownship Colors.
• In addition to the default blue color, options for red, pink, orange, yellow, green, and dark gray are also available.
• Set both the color and shape of your ownship in More > Settings > Ownship Marker.
