ForeFlight has added a variety of improvements to its core ForeFlight Mobile app and Dispatch web platform that bring new safety benefits for pilots and improved efficiency for flight departments and dispatchers. Simpler processes for multi-license purchases and easier self-help for adding and removing users are among the changes, along with new Dispatch diversion planning features and live fleet tracking.
For ForeFlight users, the runway analysis service continues to grow, with an expanded list of airplane models now able to use the ForeFlight engine-out procedures (EOPs). “We have passed the 80 percent mark and now support a large percentage of the models currently active in the business aviation fleet,” said content marketing manager Sam Taylor. More airplanes are added every month, and ForeFlight now has more than 10,500 EOPs at airports worldwide. Runway analysis allows pilots to fly with the maximum payload possible while meeting terrain- and obstacle-clearance requirements in case of loss of one engine during the takeoff phase of flight. Airlines have long used runway analysis EOPs to allow dispatchers to calculate the highest possible maximum takeoff weight for specific runways while meeting minimum climb, available runway length, obstacle clearance, and other requirements.
