Master ForeFlight with New “Power Users” Training from Sporty’s and ForeFlight

Pilots looking to get more out of ForeFlight now have a powerful new training resource. Sporty’s has teamed up with ForeFlight to deliver ForeFlight Power Users Training, a comprehensive new course available exclusively in the Sporty’s Pilot Training app.

Designed for pilots who already know the basics, this course focuses on using ForeFlight more effectively in real-world flying—helping you plan smarter, fly more efficiently, and make better decisions in the cockpit.

Go beyond the basics

While many pilots use ForeFlight every day, few take full advantage of its advanced capabilities. This course bridges that gap with step-by-step instruction on the tools and workflows that experienced pilots rely on.

Pilots using the app will learn how to:

• Build and optimize routes using Route Advisor and advanced planning tools
• Brief departures, arrivals, and approaches with Procedure Advisor and Dynamic Procedures
• Visualize flights in 3D to better understand terrain and airspace
• Calculate weight and balance and generate accurate takeoff and landing performance
• Use plates more effectively with map overlays and interactive features
• Manage inflight changes, including reroutes and diversions
• File and share flight plans with ease

Train for the way you actually fly

Rather than focusing on individual features, the course is built around the complete flight workflow—from preflight planning to inflight decision-making. The result is a more practical, scenario-based approach that shows not just what the app can do, but how to use it in real flying situations.

Seamless learning on any device

The course includes over eight hours of video training and is available for $75 exclusively on the Sporty’s Pilot Training app, accessible online and on iOS for iPad/iPhone.

Other features in the app include:

• Lesson quizzes and progress tracking
• A completion certificate
• Downloadable reference materials, including the full ForeFlight Pilot’s Guide
• Sync across all your devices
• WINGS credit eligibility

Available now

Whether you’re flying VFR or IFR, ForeFlight Power Users Training will help you unlock more of what the app has to offer and use it with confidence on every flight. An annual subscription is available for just $75.

It was his first airplane trip at age seven that made Eric decide to become a pilot. "While boarding the airplane, a flight attendant noticed my interest in the flight deck and urged me to go talk to the pilot. I give a lot of credit to that pilot for my career choice." Eric earned a bachelor’s degree in finance and went on to an airline career. He learned to fly at Sporty’s as part of the University of Cincinnati’s Professional Pilot Program, an initiative he later directed. Eric now manages Sporty’s media network. In addition, Eric serves as a Captain in a Cincinnati-based corporate flight department.
