Runway Details, Helicopter VFR Waypoints, and more in ForeFlight’s Latest Release!

Our latest release features Runway Details, Helicopter VFR Waypoints, and added Runway Analysis Aircraft Support.

Runway Details

Runway-specific information is now accessible via a new toggle in Airports > Runway > Runway Details, or by tapping directly on an airport in the map view.


Additionally, declared distances (TORA, TODA, ASDA, and LDA) are now displayed in Runway Details and automatically adjust to your preferred runway distance units, set in More > Settings > Units/Time > Runway Length.

A windsock icon in the runway direction toggle indicates the most favorable wind conditions, with ForeFlight selecting the optimal direction based on current wind each time you view Runway Details.

Helicopter VFR Waypoints

Helicopter pilots can now customize their Aeronautical Map view by toggling helicopter-only VFR waypoints on or off. 

This setting, enabled by default, is located in Map Settings > Waypoint Settings > VFR Helicopter Waypoints.It appears alongside RNAV & Fixes and VFR Waypoints when VFR Aeronautical Mode is selected.

New Runway Analysis Aircraft Support

ForeFlight’s advanced Runway Analysis add-on for turbine aircraft is now available for the Nextant 400XT, Beechcraft 1900D, Cessna C208 with APE III STC, and Embraer Lineage 1000 (EASA Certification only).
