ForeFlight's latest release introduces a Reported Turbulence Map layer, sourcing real-time turbulence data from the company’s Sentry ADS-B receivers.
This feature allows pilots to visualize turbulence intensity at multiple altitudes, aiding them in finding smoother flight paths with enhanced accuracy and objective reporting.
The system provides an estimated 50 times more turbulence reports than manual PIREPs and depicts intensity using colored markers (from smooth to severe).
Reported Turbulence is available as add-ons for Pro Plus subscribers, with options for reports up to 14,000 feet or across all altitudes.
