Explore Airports from a
New Perspective
Airport 3D View is an interactive preview that combines terrain and aerial imagery to help you get familiar with new airports anywhere in the world. Whether you're preparing for a challenging approach or exploring new places to fly, 3D View provides new and unique vantage points that prepares you for the real thing.

Get the View at Altitude with 3D Review
Follow the path of planned flights from the Maps or Flights views, and replay past flights from Track Logs or Logbook entries with realistic pitch and bank if recorded with an AHRS-capable device. Pan and zoom within the interactive 3D View to get a full 360° perspective of the route environment.
Takeoff and Landing Performance
Ensure that you can safely take off and land with runway performance calculations for supported piston and turboprop aircraft. ForeFlight uses published runway performance data and current weather conditions to quickly calculate the most important distance and speed metrics for both takeoff and landing, and warns you when the results exceed the selected runway’s limits.
Available with ForeFlight Performance subscription plans.

Built-in Detailed Aircraft Profiles
Our in-house team builds each aircraft model from the manufacturer's climb, cruise, and descent 'book value' performance data. Profiles are defined for multiple altitudes, weights, and temperatures, providing the most accurate ETE and fuel burn for all conditions. The library contains hundreds of profiles for the most popular General Aviation aircraft from Beechcraft, Cessna, Diamond, Mooney, Piper, and more.
Simple, Fast Aircraft Setup
All of the complex performance data from your aircraft manual is loaded with a single tap. Simply search for and select your aircraft, add your tail number, and verify the basic aircraft data. Done.
Fine Tune the Models
If your aircraft performs differently than book, use the model adjustment sliders to better match ForeFlight to your aircraft's true performance.
Create Custom Profiles
Don't see your aircraft in our library? Log in to foreflight.com to build your own profiles that define climb, cruise and descent performance data for multiple altitudes.

Better, Faster, More Accurate Answers
ForeFlight’s planning engine, powered by AviationCloud technology, analyzes current and forecasted wind and temperature data, aircraft performance capabilities, and recent ATC history to offer a comprehensive list of route options – even for airports without previously flown routes. Simply select your desired cruise profile and ForeFlight handles the complex calculations, delivering the answers you need to make informed decisions.
File-Friendly Optimized Autorouting
The easy-to-use Graphical Route Advisor recommends the best route and altitude for your aircraft, and provides you with the highest probability for cleared as filed (which is also helpful for PDC). In addition, EUROCONTROL validated routes are created in a matter of seconds.
Dynamic Route Performance Calculations
The ever-changing wind, temperature, and weight conditions the aircraft experiences throughout a trip are reflected in the highly accurate flight time and fuel burn calculations, including the improved performance over the course of a flight as the aircraft lightens through fuel burn.
Easy Scenario Planning
Need to explore the impact of taking more or less fuel? More passengers than you expected arrive at the airport? Quickly evaluate what-if scenarios with just a few taps and ForeFlight automatically recalculates weight, altitude, and fuel requirements – all at jet speed.
High-Fidelity Fuel & Load Planning
Easily add payload information and modify reserve fuel amounts in the neatly organized form-based Flights view. The trip summary pinned to the top of the view continuously updates as you make adjustments.
Structural Limit Checks
Automatic structural weight limit checks, with visual alert feedback, eliminate an overweight takeoff or landing scenario.
Top-of-Climb Cruise Check
Detects potential hot/high/heavy conditions and recommends a lower initial cruise altitude at which the desired cruise speed can be achieved.
Multiple Fuel Policies
Flexible fuel planning offers a variety of fuel strategies. Need to land with a specific quantity of fuel? Use Landing Fuel policy to quickly calculate block fuel for that outcome.
Send Fuel Orders to Your FBO for Smoother Handling
Submit your fuel order requests to FBOs right from the Flights view as part of your flight planning workflow. With a configured JetFuelX account, you can also request a fuel release from the fuel provider and send a notification email to the FBO in just a few taps.

Integrated JetFuelX Fuel Prices
JetFuelX simplifies managing your multiple fuel card memberships so you can quickly search, compare, and pinpoint the best fuel price for your trip. With the ForeFlight Performance Plus plan, your contract fuel prices can be conveniently displayed in ForeFlight Mobile and ForeFlight on the web.
UNLIMITED PROFILES
Great for flight departments with more than one airplane, or for aircraft on leaseback that have different fuel discount levels. Associate all your pricing with one aircraft, or individually.
QUICKLY SEARCH & COMPARE
Search prices and compare in real-time with nearby airports. See results in a color-coded list or interactive map view. We timed it – find the lowest price and request a fuel release in 15 seconds.
ALWAYS CURRENT
As your fuel vendors publish new prices, JetFuelX automatically syncs that information so your profiles are always up to date.
Never Miss a Meeting with Trip Assistant
Trip Assistant is a simple-to-use planning tool for anyone involved in mission planning – assistants, flight support staff, passengers, and pilots alike. Trip Assistant quickly computes total door-to-door trip time, factoring in drive time, flight times using historical and forecast winds, and fuel stops to create a detailed itinerary showing exactly when you need to leave your home or office in order to arrive on time at your final destination.

Pre-Departure Clearance (PDC) & Digital ATIS
PDC, a service in partnership with Satcom Direct, automates delivery of your IFR departure clearance at over 70 U.S. airports, simplifying operations and reducing frequency congestion. After you register your aircraft, file with ForeFlight and automatically receive your full clearance via email and text message. Current ATIS information is also sent via text and email as well as being available directly in ForeFlight.
