I wil like to define a route with several airports in the route, and then create a list of frequencies (Ground/Tower/ATIS/AWOS), runways and TPAs of each airport in the route in a single table/list.

1. Can you do it in Foreflight?
2. Is there any app/website that allows that?

I know that preflightdata.com creates a list (calls it kneeboard) but the formatting is awful. Some of the entries get messed up and yu cannot see the text (text overwritten).

Thanks!
 
@SixPapaCharlie have you sobered up yet?

Maybe some of you can use this thing I wrote (Kneeboard generator)

I got bored (Drunk) and wrote a program that download the information I write on a sheet of paper before I go fly. I know Foreflight and blah blah... I just wanted to enter a departure airport code, arrival airport code, and generate my kneeboard. If you are the type of pilot that jots down a...

I'm not an Aopa member anymore, but you can still access AOPA airports. I print out a knee board for each airport, review any notices, and then I write the tpa and frequencies in large letters I can read easily. Then I mark the pattern direction for each runway. This way I quickly have all the info I need.

Too many experiences with turbulence, reduced visibility, tablet issues, and other issues has brought me back to properly "pre-flighting" airports and having paper copies for quick reference.

I wonder how many pilots are flying by simply reviewing frequencies and runways, and maybe tpa's (such as Bryan's airport sheet). In my opinion that, alone, is not making you "aware of all available information". Many airports have specific issues that are not covered in this basic info.

Ouch!
In my defense, I wrote it for me and it works for me.

Also looks like I Need to update the database. The downside to building a website and letting people us it is some people use it. I should open source it and let the internet maintain it.
I don't use it myself much anymore. I could kill it but it looks like it is generating 15-20 kneeboards a day right now

@EdFred likely has a website that can give you what you want.
 
I believe there is a printable version of your flight in foreflight and that would have your takeoff and destination frequencies.
 
As @mandm saud, there’s a printable nav log which will list departure and destination frequencies, and frequencies of navaids defining your route. It will even have thumbnail airport diagrams. It mimics what we did as students in the paper and pencil days.

But it sounds like you may be looking for more than that - a single flight with multiple stops where each airport along the route is treated as a destination. AFAIK, the only way to get that is multiple flight plans, one for each leg.

My guess is that there’s not a lot of printing options because much of the idea behind EFB use is to avoid paper. When the frequency of the airport you are passing near is available within two taps on a screen, many dint see use for paper.
 
Welcome to the forum!

I’m understanding what you are looking for. You can just print the airport diagram for each airport. Or create a handwritten table with the info you like to see. But I don’t know of an application that does this for you.
 
FltPlan.com navlogs have the departure and destination airport freqs, but similar to other solutions that have been offered, it only does that for a single pair of airports at a time. You'd need to create a flight plan for each leg of a multi-stop flight to get the info for all the airports.

Hey that’s pretty cool. I looked at the old thread but don’t see the promised updates including gratuitous boobs and fbo personnel scores.
