Boeing’s ForeFlight electronic flight bag app is now available for general, business, and military aviation pilots to use in Australia. ForeFlight received approval from Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority for use as an aviation data service provider, according to the company, under Civil Aviation Safety Regulation 175, which "establishes standards and legislative requirements for the quality and integrity of data and information used in air navigation.”

The approval paves the way for pilots to use ForeFlight’s VFR and IFR en route charts and procedures, airport charts, weather resources, and items such as regulatory documents and aviation handbooks. The product supports all non-commercial operations, according to ForeFlight. The company designed ForeFlight Mobile for general and business aviation, the Military Flight Bag for defense operators, Dispatch on the web for flight departments, and Runway Analysis for jets and turboprops.
