Adds NAV CANADA IFR En-route Charts And Terminal Procedures

ForeFlight announced its expansion into Canada on Wednesday, and the immediate availability of the ForeFlight Canada subscription plan. The Canada offering adds NAV CANADA IFR en-route charts and terminal procedures to ForeFlight Mobile for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. ForeFlight is the first app for Apple iOS to provide in-flight access to NAV CANADA charting products. NAV CANADA charting products are supported in version 4.1 of ForeFlight Mobile, which pilots can download from iTunes App Store today.

“Coverage for Canada is one of the most requested enhancements we received since launching ForeFlight Mobile for iPad in April 2010.”, said Tyson Weihs, Managing Director of ForeFlight. “We worked closely with NAV CANADA over the past year on enhancements to its charting products, and the result is ForeFlight Mobile now includes access to all volumes of the Canada Air Pilot publication, geo-referenced IFR high and low en-route charts, and expanded airport information coverage. We will continue working with NAV CANADA to bring its Visual Navigation Charts (VNC Charts) and the entire Aviation Flight Supplement (AFS) to iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.”

Pilots new to ForeFlight Mobile can purchase a subscription from within the app running on an iPhone or iPad or directly from the ForeFlight website. Pilots who already subscribe to ForeFlight Mobile can add the ForeFlight Canada option and receive pro-rated credit by visiting their e-commerce site. The ForeFlight Canada subscription plan will cost $149.99 per year, with special plans and pricing available for corporate flight departments and operators purchasing multiple subscriptions.
