ForeFlight Mobile 4.1 To Support Aspen's Connected Panel

Enables iPad To Tune Radios, Submit Flight Plans To Panel

Aspen Avionics and ForeFlight announced Wednesday that ForeFlight Mobile 4.1 currently includes support for Aspen’s Connected Panel technology, which is scheduled for release by the end of the year. Users will be able to wirelessly tune radios and submit and retrieve flight plans utilizing the Aspen Connected Panel communication network.

"A key pursuit of ours since founding ForeFlight is continuously improving pilot productivity and workflow, removing steps from processes like preflight research, flight planning, and instrument procedure chart management," says Tyson Weihs, Managing Director of ForeFlight. "Until today, however, no mechanism existed that would allow an iPad to communicate with avionics, which limited the workflow efficiencies a pilot could gain by utilizing the iPad as an interface to the panel. ForeFlight Mobile 4.1 and the Aspen Connected Panel demonstrate what is now possible, and we are excited about what this step forward means for the future."

In addition to the radio and flight plan interface, ForeFlight Mobile 4.1 allows a pilot with a Connected Panel to view a status screen within ForeFlight Mobile that shows what capabilities within the aircraft can interact with the app.

"ForeFlight worked early on with Aspen during Connected Panel’s development to provide input into the framework for this new technology," says Brad Hayden, Aspen’s Vice President of Marketing. "It’s fitting that ForeFlight is the first Connected Panel partner to bring to market a version of its product that leverages this innovative platform."
