TFR Alerts

TFR Alerts enhance your inflight situational awareness by warning you of nearby TFRs, whether or not the TFR layer is selected. If ForeFlight detects that you will enter or pass near a TFR within the next five minutes, it will give you a visual and auditory alert. Alerts are also triggered if you enter a TFR, or fly above or below a TFR at a nearby altitude. You can adjust settings related to TFR alerts by tapping More, then Settings, then scroll down to Alerts. The altitude buffer sets the relative vertical distance from a TFR needed for an alert to sound - the smaller the buffer, the closer you must be to trigger an alert. If you frequently fly through the permanent TFRs surrounding Washington D.C., you can disable alerts for them by turning off “Include DC SFRA/FRZ”. ForeFlight can only warn you of TFRs that it knows about, so make sure you download up to date TFR data using the Pack feature before every flight.
