Safer, More Efficient Flight Operations
ForeFlight is an indispensable part of your everyday flight operations. When a call comes in, ForeFlight is the first thing pilots look at to check weather, plan the route, evaluate terrain and obstacle hazards, and file the flight plan.
In the air, the moving map display, charts, maps, documents, and airport directory provide all the information a pilot needs to safely conduct the flight.
SET YOUR FLIGHT CREW FREE
ForeFlight is built for the mobile environment. Your pilots are no longer tethered to a desktop or a phone call to get current weather or to amend a flight plan.
BETTER WEATHER DECISION MAKING
On the ground, interactive graphical overlays give pilots the full picture of how weather and TFRs will impact the mission. Seeing current conditions overlaid on the route line helps pilots make better go/no-go decisions.
In the air, portable ADS-B receivers like Sentry deliver the FAA’s NextGen subscription-free ADS-B weather services and TIS-B traffic targets to the iPad display. An especially cost-effective solution for legacy aircraft without onboard weather.
Seeing weather and traffic conditions ahead enables pilots to make more informed decisions and coordinate with ATC for the most efficient handling when needed—saving time and money.
As a portable electronic device, Sentry does not require any modification to the airframe.

ForeFlight takes the spirit of the obstacle height regulatory requirement, and turns it into something massively more useful.

Offline Address Database & Search
Download address databases for U.S. states so you can search for and route to street addresses without an internet connection during a flight. Tap on a search result to locate it on the map and add it to your route, or save it as a user waypoint. Offline Address Search is available with ForeFlight Performance subscription plans.
TERRAIN & OBSTACLE AWARENESS
For Air Ambulance operations, ForeFlight's hazard awareness features make it easy to comply with the Part 135 obstacle height regulation. The Profile view helps you to quickly identify and document the highest obstacle along a planned route of flight.
