Our first release of 2024 features a new Logbook Time Setting, Copy & Convert Coordinates, Cross Point Bearing, and added aircraft support for Runway Analysis.
Logbook Time Setting: Decimal (N.NN)
Increase the precision of your flight time tracking in Logbook with a new Decimal (N.NN) option and minimize time discrepancies when converting from the HH:MM format.
You can find the new format in Logbook > Settings > Entry Time Format, alongside the existing Decimal (N.N) and Hours & Minutes (HH:MM) formats.
Copy & Convert Coordinates
Easily view and copy coordinates for waypoints, airports, and more in any of ForeFlight’s six supported formats, including variations of the standard degrees format and the MGRS format.
To view or copy the coordinates of a map element from the Add to Route window after tap-holding on the map, tap More on the right, and then tap Copy to access the coordinates list.
Additionally, you can discover an airport’s coordinates within the Airports view by scrolling to the Details section of the Info tab, selecting Features, and tapping Copy next to Location for the coordinate format.
You can paste the coordinates into different areas, such as the search bar and when utilizing Replace, Insert Before, and Insert After options after tapping any waypoint in your route. Pasting into the FPL Editor is not currently supported.
You can change your default coordinate format in the Coordinate Formats menu, which conveniently includes a link at the bottom directing you to the Settings page to change your default format. Find this option in More > Settings > Units/Time > Coordinates.
Copy & Convert Coordinates is available with ForeFlight Performance and MFB One subscription plans.
Military Flight Bag: Cross Point at Bearing
Easily plan to cross any point at a desired bearing by specifying the bearing and leg length to add a new waypoint to your route, much like a virtual OBS.
Initiate a crossing for a waypoint within your route by tapping the waypoint’s bubble in the FPL Editor and selecting Cross Point at Bearing.
For waypoints not in your route, tap the location on the map and then tap More in the top-right to access the Cross Point at Bearing option.
Enter the desired Bearing (in °M or °T) and Leg Length in nautical miles, or opt for predefined lengths like 1, 2, 5, or 10nm. Afterward, tap Add to Route to seamlessly integrate a new waypoint that facilitates the intended crossing, complete with pertinent information embedded in the waypoint’s name.
This feature is available with ForeFlight’s MFB One subscription plan.
Runway Analysis: New Aircraft Support
ForeFlight’s advanced Runway Analysis product for turbine aircraft now supports HondaJet’s HA-420 Legacy, APMG, Elite, Elite S, and Elite II models, along with Daher’s Kodiak 100 and 900, and additional Pilatus PC-24 serial numbers (501+).
