ForeFlight Sees Bright Future for 9.7-inch iPad Pro
The new 9.7-inch Apple iPad Pro is better suited to the cockpit environment than the larger 12.9-inch full-size Pro.
Drawing on the ForeFlight Scratchpad on the iPad Pro (12.-9-inch shown here) is much easier when using Apple's Pencil.

Apple’s unveiling of the 9.7-inch iPad Pro on March 21 (shipping at the end of the month) will make drawing on the iPad screen much easier, and this will help improve drawing capabilities on apps such as ForeFlight. Drawing on ForeFlight (and other apps) on a non-Pro iPad is challenging, because it is not possible to rest the wrist on the iPad’s screen while drawing; the screen detects each touch and draws something at that spot or draws lines between the two touchpoints. Using Apple’s Pencil with the iPad Pro, the user can write or draw normally, without needing to keep the wrist away from the display.
