Features Useful For Pilots From Student To ATP
It seems like every time we turn around, the device that we used
to know as a cellular phone becomes more integrated into our lives.
ForeFlight took the wraps off ForeFlight Mobile 3 for iPhone and
iPod on Wednesday, a flight planning tool that ForeFlight says will
allow pilots to visualize and plan flights faster than ever
before.
ForeFlight says they have improved the weather presentation
technology, which increases pre-flight situational awareness and
confidence, and makes pilots more productive. The v3.0 software has
a re-designed user interface and features that will be useful for
pilots ranging form student to ATP.
Among the new features in ForeFlight Mobile 3:
- Brand new Slip Maps with slideable, zoomable maps for weather
and charts.
- Flight routes displayed over animated, QICP-certified HD
NEXRAD and satellite.
- Full screen, downloadable, GPS-integrated moving map VFR
sectionals.
- Full screen, downloadable, GPS-integrated moving map IFR high
and low enroute charts.
- One-tap Intelligent Flight Briefings via DUATS with smart
refresh, briefing email confirmations, and archival on ForeFlight
servers for extra assurance.
- Redesigned route planning with NAVAID support and
wind-corrected flight plans.
- Redesigned airport interface for faster access to airports,
weather, and imagery.
- Global airport database with the best information from the FAA,
AOPA Airport Directory, and Universal Weather and Aviation’s
UVTripPlanner airport directories.
- Redesigned NOTAMs organized by airport, TFRs, and regional
ARTCC.
- Local storage of all airport procedures, charts, briefings, and
flight plans so you can view them offline.
ForeFlight Mobile provides color-coded METARs, TAFs, winds
aloft, infrared satellite, NOTAMs, graphical TFRs, FBOs, and flight
plan filing.
Special introductory pricing is available for new subscribers
and upgraders.
