ForeFlight has released version 16.3, which includes an Aeronautical Map Drawer, Basic Navlog Template, Power Lines on the Basemap, and more.
Aeronautical Drawer
The latest release combines all Aeronautical Map toggles and settings into a single drawer, saving space when not in use, according to ForeFlight officials.
The update also includes Aeronautical Modes for IFR High, IFR Low, and VFR, allowing pilots to adjust altitude-based map elements like waypoints, navaids, airways, ATC boundaries, and VFR map elements.
The drawer includes an auto-dismiss feature that closes the drawer after a period of inactivity, set to 10 seconds by default, company officials said.
Basic Navlog Template
A new navlog template presents a cleaner format reminiscent of traditional navlogs, tailored for VFR pilots, ForeFlight officials said.
Powerlines on Basemap
Power lines are depicted on ForeFlight’s Basemap for enhanced hazard awareness.
Power lines are depicted on the map in a distinct maroon color, presented as lines with hash marks for easy identification, according to ForeFlight officials.
New Airspace Settings
Pilots can now tailor the display of airspace on the Aeronautical Map with global Class E airspace filtering and more granular control over different types of Special Use Airspace, according to company officials.
GLOBAL CLASS E AIRSPACE
Previously only applied to US airspace, the Class E toggle now shows or hides Class E airspace globally. This toggle can be found in the Controlled Airspace section of the Aeronautical Map Settings menu.
SPECIAL USE AIRSPACE SETTINGS
The section of the Settings menu combines existing toggles for Parachute Areas and ADIZ with new, more granular toggles: “Prohibited & Restricted,” “MOA, Alert, and Training,” “Caution, Danger, & Warning,” “TRA & TSA,” and “Other.”
