Key Takeaways:

ForeFlight has introduced new flight planning capabilities, including the ability to set multiple altitudes per flight leg and an enhanced, integrated Weight and Balance feature that automatically updates.
Situational awareness is improved with Hazard Advisor enhancements, such as altitude preview and auto-mode after takeoff, alongside the availability of global graphical NOTAMs with color-coded severity.
The app now allows for greater map customization and decluttering by enabling separate toggles for airways, waypoints, and navaids.

When you get so familiar with a tool like the ForeFlight flight planning app, you may find yourself using only a select portion of the vast array of features that it seems developers are continually adding to the program.

And that would just be, well, wrong, because it may mean you’re missing functions that could not only make your planning easier, but maybe even make your entire flight run more smoothly—or more safely.
