ForeFlight has added oceanic routing, engine out, runway analysis, and fleet tracking features to its dispatch version. The flight planning and in-flight app brings together a host of enhancements to increase utility from preflight to the destination. The company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Boeing, presented the new benefits at NBAA-BACE in Las Vegas this week.

Oceanic Plotting

Building on the Active Navlog product, released in May 2023, oceanic plotting is part of the integration between Active Navlog and ForeFlight Dispatch to enable paper-free utilization by crews using ForeFlight Mobile for flight planning and record keeping. The oceanic plotting feature records position reporting information along with gross navigational error (GNE) checks into the master flight log with screenshots available. Completed navlogs can be uploaded to ForeFlight Dispatch and attached to the flight plan to make for a seamless postflight effort by pilots and flight departments.
