AI Airport Comments Summary
Quickly learn what pilots are saying about an airport with a helpful AI-generated summary of pilot comments.
Tap the Comments button in the top-right of an airport’s detail page to view the summary above the full list of comments.
Aeronautical Map – Waypoint Settings
Customize which waypoints – VFR, IFR, or both – appear on the Aeronautical Map while in VFR Mode to access only the waypoints you need while decluttering the map.
With the Aeronautical Map layer enabled and the VFR Mode selected, tap the Settings button at the bottom of the Aeronautical Map Drawer and scroll down to the new Waypoint Settings section to find separate toggles for “Fixes & RNAV” and “VFR Waypoints”.
These toggles determine which waypoint types are enabled or disabled by the waypoint quick filter in the Aeronautical Map Drawer, allowing you to easily show only VFR waypoints, only IFR fixes and RNAV waypoints, or both using the waypoints quick filter while in VFR Mode.
MFB One – ERAA Corridor
Easily customize, calculate, and display the Emergency Route Abort Altitude and control point for a Low Level Corridor.
Tap any route bubble in the FPL Editor and tap Low Level Corridor to enter the Low Level Corridor set up menu where you can set entry and exit fixes and customize the ERAA.
In addition to setting the ERAA corridor width (44nm by default), you can also set both a mountainous and non-mountainous ERAA (1,000 feet and 2,000 feet respectively by default).
Tap Apply to Route to add the Low Level Corridor to your route and display the ERAA corridor outline and ERAA control point directly on the map.
ForeFlight also adds a badge in the bottom-right corner of the screen displaying the ERAA for quick reference, which you can tap to show or hide the ERAA corridor outline.
Available with ForeFlight’s Military Flight Bag One subscription plan.
U.S. LTA Documents
Any FAA-published Letters to Airmen are now viewable in the FAA section of the Airport Procedures tab and saved for offline reference.
Available for customers with the U.S. region as part of their subscription plan.
ForeFlight Trip Support – Services Tab
Stay up to speed on trips and services you’ve contracted with ForeFlight’s Trip Support team directly in the app, with details on trip legs, crews and passengers, and up-to-date service status.
ForeFlight Trip Support customers can select which of their pilots should have access to trip details and service status during the onboarding process.
Pilots with access to the Services tab can view details for individual legs of upcoming or ongoing scheduled trips, including the assigned aircraft and crew members, passengers, and any services contracted for that leg. Tap into each service to view more information like the current status, the name of the contracted company for that service, notes provided by Trip Support staff, and more.
Available in More > Services for ForeFlight Trip Support customers.
