Aero-TV At Osh2010: ForeFlight's Mobile HD-Making The iPad A Pilot's Best Friend

Behold... Our Favorite iPad App -- So Far

Sometimes we get dragged kicking and screaming to the game... and some times we arrive rather early... and in the case of the iPad revolution, we can easily boast about being an early adopter... and an unrepentant fan of this 'game-changing' device.

My reading habits have changed, my working habits have been modified and my personal and professional life has been aided by this amazing device... and I am assured that we ain't seen nothing yet... and if that future includes truly sublime efforts like ForeFlight's Mobile HD app, then we simply can't wait. We love this thing -- a lot.

The aero-geeks behind ForeFlight Mobile HD, the latest evolution of ForeFlight Mobile, tell ANN that it was redesigned from the ground up to take advantage of the iPad’s large, brilliant, high-resolution display.

Its most innovative features (of many) include 10 different weather Slip Maps that allow visualization of radar, satellite, flight rules, temperature, dew-point, lightning, and other important pre-flight weather information; proprietary plate viewing technology that presents instrument procedures quickly and crisply, zoomed in or in full-screen mode; touch-based flight planning that allows pilots to quickly construct simple or complex flight plans with their fingertips; and a download manager that makes selecting and managing chart and plate data downloads straightforward and reliable.

During Oshkosh 2010, ForeFlight raised the bar with the introduction of new ‘Touch Planning’ and ‘Bring Your Own Procedures’ capabilities in ForeFlight Mobile HD. The new touch planning capabilities in the Mobile HD 3.6 allow pilots to tap out flight plans by touching different points on a sectional or IFR en-route chart, move waypoints with their finger tips, and quickly bend routes around weather, military operations areas, and restricted airspace.

ForeFlight Mobile HD 3.6 also introduces a new feature called Bring Your Own Procedures (BYOP), which allows pilots to load their own digital terminal procedures or supplements directly into ForeFlight Mobile HD. Come along with Aero-TV and take the first in a number of video-guided tours through ForeFlight's capabilities.
