iPhone App Released For ForeFlight Mobile

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.
