Reported Turbulence Map Layer
• Plan smoother and safer flights by seeing where pilots are actually encountering smooth air or turbulence with this powerful new map layer.
• The layer displays individual turbulence reports as color-coded dots representing turbulence intensity, which you can tap on to view the report’s age (up to approximately six hours old), altitude, airspeed, and the type code and wake category of the aircraft from which the report originated, as well as a list of nearby reports.
• An altitude slider is available to filter turbulence reports by altitude, and the Reported Turbulence layer is also available in Profile View, allowing you to view reports at all altitudes along your planned route.
• The new layer receives its data from Sentry and Sentry Plus devices, which automatically measure inflight turbulence and transmit de-identified reports via the ForeFlight Mobile app after each flight.
• Reported Turbulence is available as two subscription add-ons: Reported Turbulence (Low) provides access to all turbulence reports up to 14,000 feet, while the Reported Turbulence (All) add-on grants access to reports at all altitudes.
• The Reported Turbulence (Low) add-on is available free of charge to owners of Sentry or Sentry Plus devices on Pro Plus subscription plans and above who register their Sentry’s serial number at plan.foreflight.com/account. A 50% discount on the Reported Turbulence (All) layer is also provided to customers who register their Sentry.
US Lowest-Tilt Radar Map Layer
• See where precipitation is likely reaching the ground with the return of this popular map layer sporting lower latency and improved spatial resolution.
• The Radar (Lowest-Tilt) layer only depicts radar returns obtained at the lowest angle of the radar’s sweep, which better correspond to where precipitation is reaching the ground in the form of rain or snow.
• The new layer benefits from significantly reduced latency of 6 minutes or less and also provides enhanced spatial resolution, although the layer doesn’t yet support storm track markers.
• The Radar (Lowest-Tilt) layer is currently limited to the US and South Korea.
Runway Analysis: Landing Factor Selector

. Set up a crossing for any waypoint in your route by tapping the waypoint’s bubble in the FPL Editor and tapping Cross Point at Bearing, and for any waypoint not in your route by tapping it on the map and tapping More in the top-right to find the Cross Point at Bearing option.
. Enter the desired Bearing (in °M or °T) and Leg Length in nautical miles, or select from predefined lengths of 1, 2, 5, or 10nm, then tap Add to Route. This adds a new waypoint to your route that sets up the intended crossing, with relevant information included in the new waypoint’s name.
. Cross Point at Bearing is available with ForeFlight’s MFB One subscription plan.

. ForeFlight’s advanced Runway Analysis product for turbine aircraft now supports HondaJet’s HA-420 Legacy, APMG, Elite, Elite S, and Elite II models, along with Daher's Kodiak 100 and 900, and additional Pilatus PC-24 serial numbers (501+).

Frequencies in Airspace Alerts
. Controlled airspace alerts now provide a list of relevant frequencies as you approach an airspace for easy and timely reference.
. The types of frequencies shown in Airspace Alerts vary by airspace type to display the most relevant frequencies and minimize clutter. For instance, Class A, B, and C airspace alerts show approach and departure frequencies, whereas Class D alerts exclusively show tower frequencies. Alerts for other specialized airspace types such as ATZs and MATZs include tower, radio, and information frequencies, while TMZ alerts include the squawk code and frequency.
. You can optionally disable frequencies in airspace alerts and customize the alerts in other ways in Maps Settings > Alerts > Airspace & NOTAMs.
New Global ForeFlight Regions
. We’re preparing to expand our global chart and data support by launching new regions around the world that you can select as part of your subscription.
. The new regions build on ForeFlight’s existing options for the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia with the addition of Latin America, Africa, the Middle East & South Asia, Asia & Pacific, and New Zealand.
. With the exception of the Latin America region (see below), limited government-sourced charts and documents will be available for these new regions. Our team is actively sourcing and processing data as it becomes available to us. Adding one of these regions to your subscription will grant you access to the latest data and charts as they are added.
. Jeppesen global chart coverages are available now as subscription add-ons to fulfill pilots' current IFR requirements in regions where we don’t provide government charts.
New Country Support: Brazil
. Brazilian government charts, data, and documents are now available as part of ForeFlight’s new Latin America region.
. Included are AIPs and terminal procedures from DECEA, IFR High and Low enroute charts, VFR charts including REA and REH charts, VFR waypoints in ForeFlight’s Aeronautical Map layer, and documents in the Latin America Documents drive.
. After adding the Latin America region to your subscription on ForeFlight’s website you can select Brazil in More > Downloads > Region Settings > Latin America to download the charts and data.
Oceanic Plotting in Active Navlog
. ForeFlight’s Active Navlog add-on product for Business accounts now supports full-fledged Oceanic Plotting in conjunction with a ForeFlight Dispatch subscription.
. Access Active Navlog by going to More > Active Navlog and selecting from the list of upcoming flights, or by opening the traditional Navlog from the Flights view and tapping the “Go to Active Navlog” button in the bottom-right.
. Active Navlog allows pilots to record time and fuel actuals, altimeter checks, ATC clearances, and more, while customers who also have ForeFlight Dispatch can additionally activate non-radar procedures in Active Navlog to record position reports and GNE checks.
. Each position report and GNE check is automatically documented in the master flight log with a corresponding screenshot, ensuring a comprehensive record of the entire flight that is automatically synced to the flight in Dispatch for easy retrieval.
