Route Builder: Add "Avoid Tracks" to Route Constraints
Release Date:
October 1, 2023
Flight Planning
A new Route Constraint gives you the ability to specify Oceanic Tracks to avoid when planning your flight. This allows ForeFlight to provide an optimized route that omits the specified track and any of its constituent waypoints. From the Route Builder tab on a flight, select Avoid Tracks from the dropdown menu, then select any West or East tracks to avoid.
