Adds NAV CANADA IFR En-route Charts And Terminal
Procedures
ForeFlight announced its expansion into Canada on
Wednesday, and the immediate availability of the ForeFlight
Canada subscription plan. The Canada offering adds NAV CANADA IFR
en-route charts and terminal procedures to ForeFlight Mobile for
iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. ForeFlight is the first app for Apple
iOS to provide in-flight access to NAV CANADA charting products.
NAV CANADA charting products are supported in version 4.1 of
ForeFlight Mobile, which pilots can download from iTunes App Store
today.
“Coverage for Canada is one of the most requested
enhancements we received since launching ForeFlight Mobile for iPad
in April 2010.”, said Tyson Weihs, Managing Director of
ForeFlight. “We worked closely with NAV CANADA over the past
year on enhancements to its charting products, and the result is
ForeFlight Mobile now includes access to all volumes of the Canada
Air Pilot publication, geo-referenced IFR high and low en-route
charts, and expanded airport information coverage. We will continue
working with NAV CANADA to bring its Visual Navigation Charts (VNC
Charts) and the entire Aviation Flight Supplement (AFS) to iPad,
iPhone, and iPod touch.”
Pilots new to ForeFlight Mobile can purchase a subscription from
within the app running on an iPhone or iPad or directly from the
ForeFlight website. Pilots who already subscribe to ForeFlight
Mobile can add the ForeFlight Canada option and receive pro-rated
credit by visiting their e-commerce
site. The ForeFlight Canada subscription plan will
cost $149.99 per year, with special plans and pricing available for
corporate flight departments and operators purchasing multiple
subscriptions.
