    Thank goodness for ADS-B in and Foreflight

    This evening I did a quick proficiency flight to an airport ~33nm from my starting point. Coming back, it was after sunset, and according to ForeFlight, I could log 0.2 night hours, but no night landings. Either way, this is my third flight with my iPad, and only the second with it actually...

    ForeFlight - some scheduled flights not visible in search

    I am trying to find the flight plans of scheduled flights to study and learn from them. In ForeFlight maps screen, I am able to find some scheduled flights but not others. For example - searching for ‘ual1031’ or ‘swa2595’ shows me expected results but ‘AAL1647’ or ‘AAY334’ result in ‘no...

    Edit ForeFlight with an external editor?

    ForeFlight Checklist Is there a way to convert the binary to text or XML to edit in notepad++ or something? I have a large custom set of checklists and an iPad sucks for data entry.

    iPad Mini 5 or Mini 6?

    I use Foreflight and my Mini 5 with Cellular just died. Do you recommend getting another Mini 5 or upgrading to the Mini 6? It must be Cellular.

    Latest iPad Pro Vs Air? - 2022 Models

    Having been a PC and Android user for many years, I'm fairly Apple illiterate. The only Apple device I use is the EFK/iPad my employer provides. I have no idea which model it is, but I won't use it for personal use. I'm getting back into GA flying and I'd like to use Foreflight, so I'll have...

    InReach Mini 2 and Foreflight?

    I have researched this, but there seems to be no information or it simply cannot be done. If I get a mini 2 I would like to pair with my Ipad (wifi only) and use the GPS from the Mini 2 to use Foreflight in my Ipad. Seems simple enough as it's my understanding the Ipad via BLUETOOTH should...

    Separate log entry for each leg in ForeFlight?

    I just began using ForeFlight. After my very first flight using it, I noticed it logged that flight's three legs as one log entry. Can I specify that ForeFlight create one log entry per leg? Thanks, Jay

    ForeFlight sentry question

    I won a slightly used ForeFlight sentry this weekend in a raffle. Does anyone have experience wiring one into the aircraft electrical system for remote operation with a switch? Is it even possible?

    What’s Your Time Source for Logging Flights?

    I’ve been logging my time based on Hobbs since I started flying decades ago. Now that I’m using ForeFlight, ForeFlight’s Track Logs don’t always agree with Hobbs. For example, last weekend I got my daughter nauseous doing touch & goes for 1.3 hours Hobbs time and 1.5 hours based on ForeFlight...

    Confessions of a Cherokee Pilot – Is my head on a swivel?

    I was flying a practice RNAV approach into Bartow Executive (BOW) in my Cherokee with a safety pilot earlier this week. It’s not an airport I practice approaches at very often since the tower doesn’t have radar, and even though I know towers in Class D airspace are not responsible for...

    Diamond da20 c1 and diamond star da40 ForeFlight performance profiles

    I’ve been trying to get my performance profiles more accurate for flight planning purposes on ForeFlight. I fly primarily in Michigan so elevation sits around 1000’ typically. Does anyone have any performance profiles they would mind sharing??

    Does Foreflight typically offer good deals at SNF? Or meh?

    My current subscription ends on Monday, April 12. I'll be at SNF on Tuesday, April 13. If there's a good chance at a nice deal/promotion I'll hustle down using only my 430w + old avidyne MFD + paper plates, and renew the subscription there - i don't know, free Jepp charts with premium, or free...

    Suitable iPad for Foreflight

    Hello everyone new student pilot here. I've got conflicting reports on which iPad Mini (version 5) I would need. There are two different ones, one is wifi-only and one with Wi-Fi and cellular capability. The people at Apple initially told me I would need the one with cellular capability and have...

    Sentry Mini or Bad Elf?

    I recently just completed my Flight Review after not flying for 6 years. I'm so happy to be back in the skies and loving all of the new technology out there. Especially Foreflight. My set up right now consists of: Iphone Xs on a RAM suction cup mount on the left side of the dash (C172). I...

    iPad type - What are you flying with?

    I'm getting back into flying (I've had my PPL for about 10 years) more regularly now and I'm new to Foreflight. WOW is all I have to say. I don't have an iPad (yet) but was curious what the consensus was on the iPad mini? Specifically one with data or is data not necessary? My situation: I'm an...

    Something about ForeFlight that I did not know about any you probably do not know it either at 9,500

    This is something that I did not realize with ForeFlight. When you are on a cross country Flight and not connected to the internet, The FBO comment section is not available in flight. There appears to be a software glitch or maybe it just needs to be incorporated with the next update, but when...

    Is there a way to import FlightAware track logs to ForeFlight ?

    I am starting to use ForeFlight's Logbook and one of the options is to attach a track log in the Logbook entry. This is great going forward but how can I bring in old track logs in. FlightAware has the track log of my flight. It can also export this to KML file. Is there a way to import to...
