I'm forwarding this to the dev that handles routing.

6.2.1 is in the App Store. Direct link to download: http://www.foreflight.com/itunes/ffm Thanks everyone for your support / patience. Reliability is of extreme importance to us, and we let one use case by us in test. Hopefully the open communication, quick turn and fast email responses makes...

6.2.1, yes.

We jumped on the issue and have an update submitted to Apple.

Glad you like. We were following the thread here and hustling in the background to make our Stadium TFRs smarter. We'll keep refining. Drop us a note on twitter, Facebook, or team@foreflight.com and we'll tune this as needed. I wish TFRs were eliminated altogether ... they're pretty dumb and...

There is a method. The ordering is a combination of airport operation count and frequency flight plans are filed to the airport. Excluded are those airports for which the FAA already has a diagram. Then, we override the order if we have some reason to bump up the priority (eg we get a bunch of...

Independent undertaking. We have a team of folks 'capturing' the airport surface to produce a result that complies with the airport moving map guidance outlined in AC 120-76B Change 1. We then have a suite of automated programs that compose the final depiction. Lots of improvements planned to...

Good ideas all. We invested heavily the last year and have a lot to show this year. Since half the dev team is pilots, we want lots of the stuff mentioned here (and I'm taking notes). On chart collars, look at what we did for Canada, Heli, and Carribean enroutes: show and hide collars and...

Howdy folks, Here is the order and sources of US traffic pattern data in ForeFlight and the various other issues that affect the values shown: 1. If a TPA is published in the FAA's National Aeronautical Subscriber Records (NASR) database, we use it and consider it to be authoritative...

Before sending an alert, we were checking flight history to see if an alert would be available for the airplane. The history check was based on 30 days of flying activity. That was insufficient, so we removed the history check and are setting alerts for every flight plan filed regardless of...

I use the iProAviator kneeboards (not affiliated with the company). I like the lid, which acts as a heat shield and includes a writing pad. The full size version leaves a nice window for the ForeFlight navlog. In the winter, I mount the mini with a ram suction and x-grip mount. -Tyson

Folks, Update: 5.4 will work on iPad 1. So, no changes in what devices are supported currently. There's a very small percentage of folks that still use an iPad 1 in the cockpit, and the number has been dropping significantly every month. However, we're going to reach out to each of them...

A benefit of ForeFlight Mobile is that it sends VFR flight plans filed through ForeFlight Mobile directly to Flight Service via a direct link we have. The DUATS systems, on the other hand, hold these VFR plans and then send limited detail over to FSS. Doing this ensures that if you call a...

I'm reading all the thread comments. Jesse, happy to speak on the phone with you (or anyone else) and get your feedback live. This is our passion and doing the right thing is always top of mind. -Tyson ForeFlight / Co-founder

Here's a neat animation showing the ADS-B build out over the past year. Provided by the kind folks at Appareo (makers of the Stratus 2): http://blog.foreflight.com/2013/07/01/ads-b-build-out-animation/ -tyson ForeFlight Co-Founder / CEO

Fair enough. If we support something, we've flight tested it sufficiently and sent it through a solid beta test gauntlet. That level of testing should be the minimum standard in apps land, but unfortunately unsuspecting folks go airborne every day thinking their app of choice and hardware...

Will keep chugging. "Whatever works" ends up cutting out a lot of choices - one receiver I tested dropped 50%+ of nexrad, another had imprecise GPS data due to misuse of the protocol, etc. We won't be the guys that support 10+ receivers because the quality varies widely, but a choice is a...

ForeFlight had a big release last week, adding obstacle support, a new mapping engine (much faster), and track up (with track forward and track center modes). We're on pace to release pretty phenomenal stuff about every six weeks this year due to our R&D investments ... many things unfolding...

It does not do that in the air, when above 30 kts, or outside the airport vertical bounds.

JKG, Happy to speak with you on the phone anytime. We've obviously done (or not done) something to drive the assumptions and conclusions you've made about us. My email is tyson@foreflight.com. Send me your phone number and happy to ring you up. We could go round and round debating things...
