Runway NOTAMs in Procedure Advisor: ForeFlight’s Procedure Advisor now warns the pilot of runways closed and other NOTAMs affecting airports on a pilot’s route, giving pilots easier access to critical flight planning information.
New Route Constraints: Include/Avoid Waypoints & FIRs: Pilots with ForeFlight Performance plans can further customize their route with more advanced constraints for the Recommended Route. The new constraints allow the user to specify any waypoint, navaid, or airport that must be included in or excluded from their route, using the Include Waypoints and Avoid Waypoints constraints, and specifying any FIR that one’s route must not cross using the Avoid FIR constraint, helping pilots to reduce overflight fees and steer clear of dangerous airspace.
Altitude Slider Auto Mode: Pilots can now reduce their inflight workload by having ForeFlight automatically move the altitude slider for altitude-based weather layers, such as Winds Aloft, Icing and Turbulence, to match their current altitude.
