LONG-TIME ANN Sponsor, ForeFlight, Provides GREAT Guidance For Oshkosh 2014!

ForeFlight was founded in 2007 by aviation entrepreneurs who set out to build elegant, high-performing flight planning and flight bag apps for pilots.

ForeFlight Mobile, our flagship product, improves situational awareness, increases productivity, and simplifies decision making for pilots and flight crews all over the world. ForeFlight is used by all segments of aviation, including general, business, commercial, and military aviation.

Individual pilots and professional flight crews use ForeFlight Mobile to efficiently gather preflight weather information and destination information, route plan, access and manage electronic charts and terminal procedures, organize flight publications, and reference as an enroute navigation aid.

Since we saw you at AirVenture 2013, we have had 9 major releases with lots of new features to make flying safer and more fun. Some of the highlights include: Plates on Maps, Flight Alerts, Aerial Maps layer, Search & Rescue grid overlays with search pattern builder, cockpit sharing, runway advisor to identify best runway based on winds, expanded chart coverage in Caribbean and Mexico, ICAO flight plan filing and in-app flight plan amend, close, cancel, and activate capability, a user interface overhaul, ForeFlight produced Airport Diagrams, Profile view, a free Stratus 2 firmware upgrade, Pack, smart stadium TFRs, geo-referenced Canada Air Pilot charts, Sync, and more!

We’ve got lots more in store for this year and if you are visiting AirVenture 2014, please come by the ForeFlight booth in Hangar A (Booth numbers 1147, 1148) to talk with ForeFlight’s Fanatical Pilot Support Team members, see what’s new, learn tips and tricks, and get answers to questions. Also, make sure to attend one of four iPad proficiency seminars ForeFlight will be conducting during AirVenture.
