IFR Flight Planning & Filing in Europe

IFR Flying in Canada
Join ForeFlight Pilot Support Team member Adrian Tegler to see how ForeFlight makes filing an IFR flight plan in Canada faster and easier. Adrian will demonstrate features that enhance your safety and awareness during planning, inflight, and post-flight such as Alternate Advisor to easily find an alternate airport, Profile View to identify potential hazards like terrain, obstacles, and forecast weather along your route, and much more.
Import Custom User Charts
In addition to user waypoints and user map layers, ForeFlight now allows you to import User Charts that you can manage and display on the map.
The User Charts feature supports MBTiles, an open source file format developed by MapBox that allows for efficient compression and distribution of large charts. The feature does not yet support vector charts, which can also use the .mbtiles extension. A great tool for creating your own MBtiles is MapTiler, which is free to download and allows you to quickly georeference and export raster charts.
Improved Planning Features
OLD VIDEO: This video was made before the "More" tab was redesigned from a single page to a pull-out menu, but all of the capabilities you access from "More" are the same as they were before. Visit the ForeFlight Mobile Pilot's Guide.
ForeFlight now offers an enhanced flight planning workflow thanks to improvements to aircraft, the Maps view flight plan editor, and the File & Brief view, which is now called “Flights”.
This video is for ForeFlight customers with subscription plans other than Performance Plus, including the original plans and the Basic Plus and Pro Plus plans. If you have the Performance Plus plan, or want to see what is different with that plan, check out our Performance video series.
