ForeFlight released the much-anticipated version 8 this week, which among other things enables a new dynamic, data-driven aeronautical map layer for pilots. To coincide with this release Sporty’s also updated their ForeFlight training course app with new video training segments showing how to use all the new features added to the app over the past 12 months.
Here’s a look at a few of the highlights and new things you’ll learn after completing the course:
How to customize the new Aeronautical Map Layer
Analyze weather with the new Lowest Tilt Radar map overlay option
Decode the new pilot report (PIREP) symbols
Retrieve a graphical weather briefing from Flight Service
Incorporate the Area Forecast Discussion weather data into your self-briefing
How to view chart side panels and legends with Map Touch Action
Switch from your paper logbook to ForeFlight’s new digital logbook
The Flying with ForeFlight 8 course runs 106 minutes in length and is available for $29.99 as a dedicated app in the app store and as an online course, which can be accessed from any desktop or mobile web browser.
