What's New in ForeFlight Mobile EFB

18.5.2

July 8, 2026

Map Annotations 2.0 • Draw and edit individual shapes directly on ForeFlight's map with major enhancements to Map Annotations. Enable the overlay in Map Settings, then tap the Map Annotations button to open the toolbar. • The upgraded toolbar includes selectable modes for creating and editing annotations — pencil, line, square, circle, eraser, and selection tool — plus a color picker, and undo/redo options. • Tap any annotation to move it and open an editor to center it on a coordinate or waypoint, adjust size, rotate, change stacking order, and update stroke and fill color. You can also duplicate, delete, or lock annotations from the editor. • Map Annotations 2.0 is available on all ForeFlight subscription plans on iPad and iPhone. Dynamic Procedures in Europe • Brief and fly chart-free approaches, SIDs, and STARs in Europe with ForeFlight’s Dynamic Procedures sidebar, Profile View integration, and more. • All airports that support IFR procedure and that begin with either the “E” or “L” ICAO region designators are now supported by Dynamic Procedures, in addition to previously-supported “K”, “C”, and “P” airports in the U.S. and Canada. • Available with Essential subscription plans and above. ForeFlight Business: FRAT • ForeFlight FRAT is a safety add-on for ForeFlight Business plans that helps operators identify, score, and mitigate flight risks during pre-flight planning. • Safety Managers and Admins configure the organization's FRAT template from the Safety menu in ForeFlight Web, choosing from a pre-built template or building from scratch. Templates support Custom Risk Factors (user-defined questions) and System Risk Factors (automatically scored using flight, weather, and route data). Risk Level thresholds define Low, Medium, and High score ranges. • The Safety Manager Dashboard provides fleet-wide visibility into completed FRATs, 30-day score and mitigation averages, top recurring risk factors, and full review access to all submissions. • On ForeFlight Mobile, pilots access a Flight Risk section on any FRAT-licensed flight. They answer Custom Risk Factors manually and review auto-scored System Risk Factors, then reveal a color-coded risk score. High Risk factors require written mitigation before submission, and High Risk flights trigger automatic email notifications to all Safety Managers. • ForeFlight FRAT is available for BA and MA accounts, licensed per tail. Contact sales@foreflight.com to learn more. ForeFlight MFB: Low Level Corridors  • Add multiple tactical corridors to low-level route segments to automatically display per-leg hazards and clearance altitudes on the map. • After creating a flight plan with two or more waypoints, tap a waypoint and select “Low Level Corridor” to configure both ERAA and tactical corridors.  • Add up to eight Tactical Corridors between any entry/exit fix pair, with up to four displayed on the map at once. Customize each corridor’s name, width, clearance altitude, border color, obstruction control preference, and on-map label. • ForeFlight automatically identifies the highest terrain or obstacles within each enabled corridor on a per-leg basis, based on a set of highly-configurable parameters for each corridor.  • Available with ForeFlight MFB One subscriptions. Reduced Download Sizes • Download file sizes for most raster charts as well as the Airport & Nav Database have been dramatically reduced, enabling smaller and more frequent updates to aeronautical data with minimal impact on your data usage. PJ2-GPS Radio Support • ForeFlight can receive GPS position data from Sporty’s PJ2-GPS handheld emergency radio. ForeFlight will automatically connect when the device is powered on thanks to Bluetooth Low Energy support.

Sleazy tactics

Price goes up every year, now they cut the SAFE discount in half. I am all done with ForeFlight, I knew once they were sold this was going to happen. Also w&b only includes fuel in the top tier. Sleazy

Unable to update

ForeFlight is definitely going downhill fast. I’ve been trying to download updates FOR. TWO. DAYS! It always gives me an error and I have to try the update again. It’s not my iPad and my WiFi is working just fine. This is what happens when you fire the technical staff and send development offshore.

I’m done with ForeFlight and will not renew.

Great app but recent update causing issues with finger measure tool

Great app for flying both commercially to watch it as a hobbyist flying privately like myself. But a recent update now makes it almost every time I pinch to zoom on the map instead goes to the measure tool. Is very frustrating and distracting. And I see no option to disable or adjust the settings. I also wish there was a way to set flight history to non pilot so it’s not officially tracked since I like to use it when traveling and not piloting.

Long haul flights 15 plus hours

So I don’t pay the real fee on my iPhone but I’m going to do the trial. See I am very expirianced with this app. I would say I adore this app!!! I am a commercial pilot for Ethiopian and I do my favorite route nyc (KJFK) to adidas abbaba. And when I was with American Airlines I would use it for my jfk to Delhi flight. Cheers.

Use to be great

This app use to be great; however, it’s been on the decline. I’ve experienced a lot of performance issue within the last 8 months. I’ll be trying Garmin once my ForeFlight subscription expires
