EUROCONTROL-Validated Autorouting
For routes in Europe, ForeFlight’s proprietary routing algorithm produces EUROCONTROL validated IFR, YFR, or ZFR routes within a matter of seconds. Simply tap the desired route to add it to your plan. When available, EUROCONTROL generated route proposals are also shown. The estimated route performance calculations based on your aircraft profile are displayed for each route.
Using ForeFlight, I was able to create an aircraft profile, file a flight plan, and brief the new flight before we reached the departure end of the runway.
