Key Takeaways:

ForeFlight Dispatch has been updated with significant enhancements, including oceanic routing, engine out, runway analysis, and fleet tracking, to boost utility from preflight to destination.
The new oceanic plotting feature integrates with Active Navlog to enable paper-free recording of position reports and gross navigational error (GNE) checks, simplifying regulatory compliance for EASA-based users during oceanic crossings.
Fleet Tracking, available within ForeFlight Dispatch, allows operators to monitor their fleet's status in real-time using ADS-B data and weather layers, enhancing safety, efficiency, and the ability to anticipate schedule disruptions.

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.
