Charts & Data for European Pilots

European pilots can improve their planning and flying experience with flexible chart options in ForeFlight, including both IFR and VFR charts that pack all the essentials you need into one integrated app. European subscriptions include Jeppesen VFR and IFR data built into ForeFlight’s map, and charts and AIPs for supported countries via EUROCONTROL, giving you a solid foundation for any type of flying. Additionally, you can select optional VFR chart and AIP add-ons as part of your subscription to enhance your VFR flying with your preferred chart providers.

VFR & IFR Autorouting in Europe

ForeFlight’s Route Advisor provides fast autorouting in Europe for both IFR and VFR flights, helping pilots of any kind find the best route for their flight. Powered by a state-of-the-art cloud-based routing engine, Route Advisor generates optimized and EUROCONTROL-validated IFR, YFR, and ZFR routes in seconds, and also returns VFR route suggestions that comply with standard AIP guidelines. And with support for VFR and IFR flight plan filing throughout Europe, ForeFlight is the one-stop-shop for integrated planning, filing, and flying.

Global Graphical NOTAMs

Previously limited to Europe, Graphical enroute NOTAMs are now supported globally with the new NOTAMs map layer. NOTAMs are color-coded based on type, severity, and active times, with new type-based filters available in Map Settings.
