When ForeFlight was founded in 2007, it set out on one mission: Create software that makes flight planning easier. The company says, “We do it all with the aviator spirit, a sense of calculated risk-taking, and adventure,” a company culture that comes through loud and clear in the latest update of their flagship product, ForeFlight Mobile version 12.2. This March 2020 update adds several new features to the already capable electronic flight bag product and is poised to deliver increased situational awareness to the application’s private and professional users.
