Views from the iPhone. This is one of the best bits about this update. Especially the Flight Plan editor.

 

[LevelWing]

I really like that the flight planner has been updated. It's much more usable on the iPhone now.

One casualty of the upgrade..... iphone version no longer supports horizontal view.

Well that sucks. It was nerfed before, but now it’s nonexistent.

1000 years from now, thanks to apple, humans will have evolved to have their eyes on a vertical plane.

Is that a good book, Michael, "The Flight Instructor's Survival Guide?"
Been reading/viewing a wealth of CFI material, but didn't know that one.

Mostly stories on how to apply information from the AIH. Good stuff and worth the purchase

Thanks Mike.

(edit) Bizarrely, book appears to be on Apple Books, but not on Kindle.

How about sharing the info here so all of PoA can benefit?

Where is the perceived power in that?

Heads Up: the Flight Plan Transfer button on the ForeFlight Maps page is no longer on the top menu. You can still send a flight plan from ForeFlight to your plane's EFIS or Navigator, but you must first open the FPL drawer and find the button on the bottom row. Not a huge deal, but if you don't happen to have the FPL button enabled, and why would you, there's no way to see it.

Is this occurring on both iPad and iPhone?

 

[AggieMike88]

@Cogito ... and are you referring to the "send to" button that I'm pointing out?

if that's a yes, it's been at that position for quite a while.

Previously, it was also on the upper toolbar without the FPL window open.

Mike,
Different Button, I'm talking about sending Flight Plans via Bluetooth to your G3X or GTN in the plane. The button looks like this:
(This is where it used to be, from the ForeFlight Tutorial Video.)

Have you tried it in the plane with the avionics on? It may only show up when a valid connection exists

Gotcha....

Yes, tried it in the plane today, the first time the button wasn’t there. You're correct, it only shows up when there's a Bluetooth connection, thought it had failed until I found button in the new place.

ForeFlight iphone FPL still doesn't have the profile view. I really like that, so I can determine min altitude for a flight, so still have to do that part on the ipad.

 

[Salty]

I made the decision yesterday to go back to Garmin Pilot. Foreflight has a few things I like better, but overall, GP works better for me.

FF's profile view still hasn't come close to what GP is doing.

Is profile view one of those things that require the $200/yr plan in FF?

 

[Salty]

Oh, it has a profile view (I'm on the best plan), it's just missing a lot the GP profile has.

 

[Bill]

Is profile view one of those things that require the $200/yr plan in FF?

Yeah, it's one of the things included in the middle plan, for me the benefits for the middle one are worth it to me.

Let us know your experience going back to Garmin Pilot. I used it when it first came out because it could flight transfer to G3X/GTN when ForeFlight couldn't. When FF gained this function I went back since I knew the program far better and GP wasn't yet up to parity, though it looks like it has been for a while. In fact, many of the updates in FF in the last few years make it more Garmin Pilot like, ie Aeronautical Map View. I'll be interested to know if filing IFR is as easy and if you get used to that weird Radial Menu they have.

Oh, I already feel more comfortable the first 10 minutes of using it. It's a more intuitive interface to me. The information seems to be easier to get to. I'm using it for VFR only and some sporadic IFR training.

Salty,
Thanks for the insight. As I recall IFR training, sporadic ain't going to cut it.

I'm not really working on it yet.

I just checked out the briefing for a long CC in GP, FF beats it by a mile on that aspect.
