Weather in 3D Preview

Enable U.S. or Global Icing and Turbulence layers using the new layer selector in 3D Preview to display forecast weather along your route. 3D View depicts forecast weather as floating colored blocks that use the same color scale to represent forecast severity as the overhead map and Profile View. Use the altitude slider on the right to view weather at different altitudes, and tap the RTE button at the top of the altitude slider to only show weather at the same altitude as your route.

Weather in 3D Preview is included in ForeFlight’s Performance Plus plans.

Weather in Profile View

Get a valuable second perspective on the same forecast using Profile View, which uses the same color scales as 3D Preview to depict varying intensities for each layer at multiple altitudes in relation to your route line. Like in 3D, ForeFlight uses your planned departure and enroute times to display weather over multiple forecast periods during which your flight will be active, providing a more accurate picture of changing conditions throughout your flight.

 

View the World in 3D

3D View and 3D Review are supported for any flight or airport in ForeFlight, anywhere in the world. By combining aerial imagery with Jeppesen-sourced high-resolution terrain for every continent, these features let you explore airports and plan or relive flights near and far with ease.

Third-Person View

Switch between first- and third-person modes to view your flight from any angle. In third-person mode the camera stays centered on your aircraft, allowing you to pan, tilt, and zoom the view. Track Logs recorded with an AHRS-capable device like Sentry will incorporate pitch and bank data into the blue aircraft’s movements.

Route Line

In both first- and third-person modes, your route line appears as a blue curtain that the aircraft travels along, making it easy to see your route’s path before and after your current position.

Review at your own Pace

No matter how long the flight, 3D Review lets you get through it as quickly or slowly as you like. Play the flight on autopilot at 1x, 3x, 5x, 10x, or 20x normal speed, or swipe through the timeline to get to the best parts right away. You can also zoom within the timeline itself to see more granular time markers.

Debrief with Attitude

Review flights recorded with an AHRS-capable device to see your actual pitch and bank displayed in 3D Review. Easily evaluate your turns and other maneuvers with real-time replay, or tap the AHRS button in the top-right to disable attitude display and focus on your flight path.

Take in the View

Keep your head on a swivel with full 360° Glance Mode support. Swipe with one finger to enter Glance Mode and pan or zoom to investigate your surroundings in any direction. Tap the circular indicator to return to a forward-facing view or wait for Glance Mode to exit automatically after 5 seconds.

3D Approach Preview

3D Preview displays markers for each waypoint in your route, including labeled approach fixes, allowing you to better visualize every step of your approach down to the runway. 3D Preview also features an interactive navlog, allowing you to view each waypoint and the distances between them and quickly jump to any leg in the flight.
