Release Notes

Release Notes

Additional Aeronautical Map Waypoints

  • ForeFlight’s Aeronautical Map now displays many types of waypoints not associated with any airway, including off-route intersections, oceanic waypoints, and others.
  • The new waypoints are included in both the High and Low Airspace layers in Map Settings > Airways, and appear when either layer is enabled.
  • Disabling all airways from the Map Settings menu or the Quick Toggle bar on the left will also hide all off-airway waypoints.

Commercial Progress Report in Logbook

  • Track your progress towards your Commercial ASEL checkride with this auto-filled PDF report based on the FAA’s requirements outlined in FAR Part 61.
  • ForeFlight uses details from your logged flights in different aircraft to indicate your progress in each of the requirements, adding a green check mark to each once you complete it.
  • Tap the Send To button while viewing the report to email or print it.
  • Access the new report in Logbook > Reports.

TAA Setting for Logbook Aircraft

  • Designate “Technically Advanced Aircraft” in Logbook > Aircraft to log time in these aircraft in accordance with the FAA’s newly-widened definition.
  • Access the TAA switch for any aircraft in Logbook > Aircraft.
  • Flights in a TAA-designated aircraft may be logged in lieu of, or in combination with, flights in a complex or turbine-powered airplane to satisfy certain training requirements.
