ForeFlight offers multiple ways to research and plan for weather on upcoming flights, including graphical weather layers on the moving map, a dedicated imagery section with advanced forecast data from the National Weather Service and the standard weather briefing option provided by Flight Service. This week’s video tip dives deeper into these resources to help you keep an eye on the development of hazardous weather from both a long and short-range perspective.
It’s not quite on the level of the AOL-Time Warner merger, but the announcement this week that ForeFlight and Jeppesen are partnering on app development is certainly big news. Here we’ll explain what the specifics of the partnership are, how pilots will be affected, and why it matters.
Pilots have always been obsessed with weather, and the iPad makes it easier than ever to view a wide variety of forecasts and observations. That means the average general aviation pilot has powerful tools to make better preflight weather decisions – but only if you know where to look. Here are 5 weather products you should review in ForeFlight that go beyond the basics.
We often get asked to compare aviation’s most popular two apps, or to suggest which one might have an advantage in one area. New pilots often struggle to choose which one they should use during training. Some experienced pilots have been flying with one app for a number of years and are wondering if the grass is greener on the other side. Here’s our opinion.

As pilots transition to a paperless cockpit, the scratch pad is usually the last to go. Sometimes, you just can’t beat a pen and paper for copying ATIS, clearances, and taxi instructions. A new add-on aims to change that, by making ForeFlight’s scratch pad faster and easier to use.
ForeFlight offers the ability to continuously monitor your position, altitude and flight profile to provide a number of in-app audio and visual alerts. Here we’ll go through each alert type to show how to enable them and what they mean.

ForeFlight released their first big update for 2017, adding new preflight weather features, chart color inversion for en route charts and approach plates, logbook enhancements and a few new in-flight utilities.
Most ForeFlight pilots use the Airports and Maps tabs most often. That makes sense, because these two sections of the app have an incredible number of features that are useful for everyday flying. But that doesn’t mean the rest of the app can be ignored. In particular, the Imagery tab deserves more attention than most pilots give it – after some recent changes, it’s more valuable than ever.
