ForeFlight’s latest app update includes new safety features such as runway alert notices, ADS-B traffic breadcrumbs, and day/night overlay in maps.
The flight planning app’s new aircraft on-runway feature provides critical warning systems by notifying pilots on final approach if there is an airplane on the runway upon which they intend to land. The feature also warns the crew of the aircraft on the runway that another is approaching. For the function to work, aircraft must be connected to an ADS-B or FLARM, or “flight alarm” receiver.
