FOREFLIGHT MOBILE
DOCUMENTS
Download, import, view, and annotate documents with ForeFlight’s easy-to-use Documents view. Documents are synced across all your devices and backed up to the ForeFlight Cloud so they’re ready when you need them.
New Ways to Import Documents
Easily import documents into ForeFlight and add them to custom binders using a dedicated Import button and intuitive drag-and-drop gestures. The new + button in the Imported Drive’s toolbar allows you to add files from the iOS Files app, your Photo Library, or by taking new photos with your device’s camera. On iPad you can also drag-and-drop files from other apps that support the gesture into the Imported Drive by opening both apps in split screen and dragging files over to ForeFlight.
Documents At Your Fingertips
ForeFlight provides hundreds of freely-downloadable documents from official government sources, including the FAA, NAV CANADA, and EUROCONTROL. Provider-specific documents are also available with select subscription add-ons, such as Jeppesen’s global enroute manuals and documents from European chart providers like DFS, Skyguide, and Rogers Data.
Automatic Document Downloads
Download individual documents, folders, or entire drives, and ForeFlight will automatically update them when new versions or documents become available.
More Flexibility with Binders and Drives
Document binders and drives give you more ways to organize and access your documents. Add documents to custom binders to easily group them however you prefer, or utilize ForeFlight’s built-in organization by downloading and accessing documents in the same drive.

Rename Imported Documents
Rename imported documents directly in ForeFlight for enhanced flexibility and organization. Renaming a document in your Imported Drive will also change the name of that document in any Binder you’ve added it to, and vice versa. Rename documents by tapping Edit in the Documents view toolbar while viewing the Imported drive or a binder containing imported documents, then tap Rename next to any document to edit and save its name.
Import Documents of All Types
Manually import documents via AirDrop, iTunes, or email, then access them or add them to custom binders from the Imported drive. ForeFlight supports a wide range of file types for importing and viewing in Documents: pdf, tiff, tif, jpg, jpeg, gif, png, bmp, bmpf, txt, doc, docx, xlsx, xls, pptx, ppt, csv, pages, key, and numbers.
Document Syncing
Your documents and related information like annotations and bookmarks are included in ForeFlight’s Sync system, allowing you to easily pick up where you left off when moving between devices. Documents that you import on any device are automatically backed up to ForeFlight’s secure cloud infrastructure, ensuring access on any device and protecting against accidental data loss.
Annotate, Bookmark, Search, and Invert Documents
ForeFlight’s document viewer provides flexible options for viewing, customizing and searching documents. Navigate within documents by using grid view, swiping left or right, or by using the slider at the bottom of the page. ForeFlight syncs your custom annotations and bookmarks across all your devices so they’re available whenever you need them.
