Customize your flight plan with greater precision using Advanced Route Constraints in Route Advisor, a feature available for ForeFlight Premium customers.

These new constraints allow you to specify any waypoint, navaid, or airport that must be included in your route using the Include Waypoints option, or excluded from your route with Avoid Waypoints. The Avoid FIR constraint also allows you to specify any Flight Information Region that your route must not cross, helping you to reduce overflight fees or steer clear of hazardous airspace.

After setting a constraint, Route Advisor will automatically regenerate the Recommended Route to comply with your new requirements and will also filter out any other routes (such as recently cleared or FAA preferred) that don't comply.
