ForeFlight, a Boeing company, has released its Oceanic Plotting solution, which streamlines the process of recording position reports, conducting GNE checks, and maintaining a master flight log with an integrated workflow for pilots, enhancing ForeFlight’s position as the all-in-one solution for Business Aviation.
Oceanic Plotting builds on top of ForeFlight’s existing Active Navlog product, released in May 2023, and integrates seamlessly with ForeFlight Dispatch’s existing contingency planning capabilities. The combination of Active Navlog and Dispatch enables fully paperless oceanic plotting directly in ForeFlight Mobile, allowing operators to eliminate the use of paper charts for oceanic plotting and record-keeping. As with the base Active Navlog product, performance estimates are automatically re-calculated during the flight as pilots record time and fuel actuals at each waypoint.
With Oceanic Plotting pilots can easily record position reports and Gross Navigational Error (GNE) checks. Every GNE check is automatically recorded in the master flight log with an associated screenshot for effortless record-keeping, while completed navlogs are automatically uploaded to ForeFlight Dispatch and attached to the flight plan for easy retrieval.
“Logging position reports and GNE checks have been a manual, time-consuming task for our customers, and we’re excited to introduce our integrated digital solution to simplify and streamline this process,” said Kevin Sutterfield, ForeFlight and Jeppesen Global Sales Leader. “We actively incorporated customer feedback through the development of this feature to ensure we directly addressed the specific challenges and needs expressed by pilots and operators. ForeFlight’s Oceanic Plotting feature simplifies the process of oceanic crossings for pilots while also automating the regulatory compliance required for those operations.”
Oceanic Plotting is available now as part of Active Navlog, which is a per-user add-on product for ForeFlight Business subscriptions. ForeFlight Dispatch is also required to enable Oceanic Plotting, while Active Navlog is available with or without a Dispatch subscription.
ForeFlight also announced its upcoming Fleet Tracking capability at NBAA-BACE. That feature is still in development with an expected release in early 2024.
