Company Updates VERY Popular App
The latest version of ForeFlight Mobile HD features the
availability of an in-app upgrade option to ForeFlight Pro - a new
subscription plan offering that enables geo-referenced approach
plates and taxi diagrams.
“When the team decided to implement geo-referenced charts,
we demanded nothing less than the best possible implementation for
iOS devices”, said Tyson Weihs, co-founder of ForeFlight.
The software update also includes enhanced brightness controls
for night flying; a heads-up display for the iPhone; enhanced
airway support; direct integration with AWOS systems for more
frequent weather observation reporting; and additional performance
enhancements.
The companies say georeferenced airport diagrams and plates can
improve situational awareness on the ground and in the air.
However, pilots in IMC should rely upon the aircraft’s
approach certified avionics. Personal electronic devices such as
the iPad and iPhone can take attention away from the most important
and demanding task: flying the airplane and arriving safely.
Use personal electronic devices in an aircraft only when
workload and conditions permit. Always enhance your iOS
device’s GPS performance by using an external, Apple-approved
GPS accessory.
ForeFlight Pro is priced at $149.95 per year, includes
ForeFlight HD’s standard features, and ForeFlight Intelligent
Apps for Pilots adds the new geo-referenced ChartData. The app is
available for immediate download, and the upgrade is available to
ForeFlight users with an active account. Any time remaining under
an existing subscription will be credited towards the price of the
upgraded plan.
