You can now view, plan, and file with VFR Checkpoints and Visual Reporting Points on the Aeronautical Map layer in Europe, the US, and Australia. Visual Reporting Points are also responsive to the touch. Tap to view additional information or to add them to a flight plan.

In Europe, these points display names along with the nearest airport. That airport code will show in the FPL view next to the Visual Reporting Point’s name.

These points are also visible on your route in the NavLog, Profile View, and 3D View.

In the Flights view, you will see short codes for these points in your route which combine the ICAO code for the associated airport and the point’s name.Preflight briefings display both the expanded name and short code.
