Our January release includes Controlled Airspace Alerts, Plate Binder Printing, Airport NOTAM Filter, Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Information, Honeywell ADG Integration, and added Runway Analysis Aircraft Support.
Controlled Airspace Alerts
Receive visual and auditory warnings as you approach, enter, and exit a controlled airspace.
ForeFlight will provide a visual and auditory alert when you are three minutes away and within 500 feet of altitude of the airspace by default. Subsequent alerts as you enter and exit the airspace will be visual only. You can tap the visual alerts to dismiss them.
Additionally, you can toggle alerts for different types of airspace and adjust the alerting range and altitude buffer by tapping Map Settings and then Alerts.
Controlled airspace classes A, B, C, and D are supported, as well as ATZ, MATZ, and TMZ. Restricted and prohibited airspace and MOAs are not currently supported.
Plate/Chart Binder Printing
If you prefer to fly with printed backups of procedure plates/charts, speed up your preflight workflow by printing entire Binders rather than individual plates.
From the Plates/Charts view, tap into any Flight Binder and tap the Send To button in the top right. Then tap Print Binder to open the iOS Print Options menu.
For Other Binders, the print button is directly accessible by tapping the printer icon.
Additionally, iOS/iPadOS 16 offers more flexible printing options, including deselecting individual pages by tapping them in the print preview and printing multiple plates per sheet using the Layout menu.
Airport NOTAM Filter
Quickly search for airport NOTAMs by entering a keyword to see all published NOTAMs containing it at that airport.
Start by tapping the Airports tab or an Airport directly on the Map. Next, tap NOTAMs, then use the search bar at the top to filter them by an identifier like runway number, terminal, or NOTAM number.
Airport Rescue & Firefighting Information
Access published Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting information in Airports > Info, under the Details section.
If no published information exists for a given airport, the Category will be marked as Unknown.
Honeywell ADG Integration
Seamlessly upload your flight plan to your Honeywell panel via Honeywell’s Aircraft Data Gateway (ADG), models ADG-300 and ADG-400. ForeFlight supports sending the flight string, initial cruise altitude, average cruise winds aloft, cruise fuel flow, winds aloft for every waypoint in the route, and passenger/payload information.
Start by connecting to the ADG’s Wi-Fi network from the Settings menu on your device. Then open ForeFlight and look in More > Devices (or at the bottom of the Map Settings menu) to confirm the connection and view information about it.
To upload a flight plan to your Honeywell panel, tap the Send To button in the top-right corner of the Flights view and tap Panel.
You can also upload your planned route from the FPL Editor on Maps, but this will only provide the route string with none of the additional information sent from Flights. The Honeywell ADG integration is available with ForeFlight Performance subscription plans.
New Runway Analysis Aircraft Support
ForeFlight’s advanced Runway Analysis product for turbine aircraft now supports the following aircraft:
- Hawker Beechcraft 400A and 400XP
- Learjet 45 (Code E) and 40 (Code B & C)
