Release Notes

Release Notes

Streamlined Fuel Price Submissions

  • Submit updated fuel prices or confirm current ones more easily with a new streamlined interface.
  • Just tap any fuel price listed in Airports > FBOs or from the Fuel Price map layers to either report a price change or to confirm the current price.
  • If a fuel provider has not specified a  price for a type of fuel that they offer, you can add a price by tapping Add in the appropriate fuel type row
  • As before, if a fuel provider does not offer a certain fuel type, you will see None listed instead of a price.
  • Additionally, fuel prices can be submitted offline and will be uploaded the next time your device establishes a data connection.

New Zealand VFR Waypoints 

  • Pilots in New Zealand can now view, plan, and file with VFR Waypoints on the Aeronautical Map layer.
  • VFR Waypoints are already supported for Europe, the US, Canada, Australia, and South Africa.
  • These Waypoints are easily identifiable on the map by their turquoise flag icons, and you can interact with them by tapping on them to access more information or add them to your route.
  • By default, VFR Waypoints are enabled, but you can choose to disable them by accessing Map Settings > VFR Aeronautical Details while the Aeronautical Map layer is active.

Support For Smaller French Airports

  • Over 600 airfields from the BASULM directory provided by the French ULM Federation have been added to ForeFlight for viewing, flight planning, and filing.
  • Plan and file flights to and from small airports in France that lack an official ICAO or IATA code designation, just as you would with larger airports.
  • Tap these airports to view additional details and add them to your flight plan, and search for them by name using the Search bar.
  • Each airfield also has an Airfield Info document with additional details in the Airport > Procedures tab.
  • When you file a flight plan with one of these airports, ForeFlight will automatically file the departure or destination as ZZZZ in Section 16 of the ICAO flight plan and add the airport’s latitude and longitude under Section 18.
