Release Date:
October 1, 2023
Flight Planning
Ensure that there is always an airport within an hour of your planned route and easily view a clear visualization of the coverage areas. You can customize preferences for Adequate Airports by filtering approaches, facilities, ICAO fire fighting codes, and runway length. You can even add or remove airports. ForeFlight Dispatch will also warn you if your route will encounter areas without airport options. The default range is 60 minutes, but you can change that to fit the needs of the regulations that you operate under. In combination with Adequate Airports, will provide an effortless way to ensure that your extended flights are fully covered for contingency plans. You can access Adequate Airports under Contingency Planning when you are flight planning.
