Flight Delay Notifications
All customers who file US flight plans with ForeFlight will benefit by receiving Expect Departure Clearance Time (EDCT) notifications via email and push when any Traffic Management Initiatives are in effect. In addition, tap on expected route messages to load the modified route into Flights and automatically refresh the Navlog and Briefing.
Customers who file Europe flight plans will similarly receive Calculated Take Off Time (CTOT) notifications. Traffic flow programs help to balance the airspace system capacity, and these notifications via ForeFlight provide the pilot or flight planner with critical real-time flight information.

This simple-to-use tool factors in traffic during drive times, as well as flight times and time spent at each airport, to create a detailed itinerary so you know exactly when to leave or when you will arrive.
