I have a number of them planned out on my cellphone, how do I send them to my ipad?
 
In the settings somewhere theres a way to upload them and your other devices should retrieve them...
 
In settings, if Synchronize User Data is on, then both devices on the same account should share the flightplans and other data.
 
In settings, on both ipad and iphone, Sync User Data is selected on.
Both devices are loaded with FF from same account.

Still do not see option to share flight plans.
 
Cancel.
I was looking for an option to actively send the flight plans.
I see when you select browse on the iphone, they are already sent.

How about this.
I want to share the day's flights with my copilot who has his own ipad and FF account.
How to do?
We are both on the same wifi.
 
How does he move the fp from email into his FF app?

I got this from tech help if anyone has the same question.

Once both your iPhone and iPad are upgraded to the latest version of ForeFlight, flight plans will be shared automatically between your devices.

Here are instructions for updating your app to the latest version:
http://www.foreflight.com/support/app-update

To share a flight plan with another pilot, you can either email it to them. See my screenshot for the location of that option. Or, if both devices are connected to the same wifi, you can use the Cockpit Sharing feature. Cockpit Sharing is described on page 91 of the Pilot's Guide. The ForeFlight Mobile Pilot's Guide is here: http://www.foreflight.com/support/pilots-guide

It is also available to download in app on the Documents page. Tap on Catalog, then ForeFlight and you will see it available to download and view from within the app.

Give that a try and let us know if any other questions arise -- we're happy to help!

Dave there are a couple of options depending on what you mean by "flight plans."

If by "flight plans" you mean you want to send the actual plan you filed, [edit for earlier mistake] you first have to display that plan's route on the Maps page, then send the route to your friend.[end edit]

To share the route, there are two options:

If you're both on the same WiFi, in More > Settings make sure that "Cockpit Sharing" is ON. Then from the Maps page tap the NavLog "Send to" button that Scott had in his screenshot, and you should see the other iPad's name listed there. Tap that and they'll get a pop-up in ForeFlight asking if they want to accept the route.

Or if you're not on the same WiFi, tap the Send-to button at the bottom of the NavLog and choose email instead.

As with the flight plans on File & Brief, routes you enter onto the Maps page are automatically synchronized between devices that are signed-in to your ForeFlight account, assuming you have the Synchronize... switch is ON.

FYI: see the "Cockpit Sharing" section of the ForeFlight Pilot's Guide for more details: http://www.foreflight.com/ipad/guide/pdf, or in the app in Documents > Catalog > ForeFlight.
