Extend your alternate planning workflow to the Maps view for enhanced situational awareness and faster decision making. Add alternates directly from the FPL editor, by tapping an airport on the map and selecting More >, via Procedure Advisor, or by sending a route with alternates from Flights to Maps. Once added, alternates appear in the FPL editor and on the map, connected by a dashed line, either directly or along a specified route. Tap an alternate bubble to switch airports, modify the path, or instantly activate your route to your alternate.

Release notes

Extend your alternate planning workflow to the Maps view with support for selecting and routing to alternate airports.
Add alternates to your flight plan in a few ways: from the action list invoked by tapping an airport’s bubble in the FPL editor or tapping it directly on the map and tapping “More >”, via Procedure Advisor, or by sending a route containing alternates from Flights to Maps. After selecting an alternate you can also specify a route, altitude, and cruise performance profile from the airport to the alternate (requires an Essential/Pro subscription plan or above).
Once added, alternates appear in the FPL Editor connected to their associated airport, and a dashed line on the map connects them on the map, either directly or via the specified route.
Tap the alternate bubble in the FPL Editor to remove it, select a different alternate, or activate your route to the alternate.
