Utilizing data from Sentry and Sentry Plus devices, this new layer in the ForeFlight Mobile app displays the measured intensity of turbulence at multiple altitudes, making it easy to find the smoothest altitude along your route.
Individual turbulence reports are displayed as colored dots on the Maps tab in ForeFlight: gray to indicate smooth air, and a progression of yellow, orange and dark orange to indicate light, moderate and severe turbulence, respectively.
Pilots can tap any report to see the reporting flight’s altitude, airspeed and aircraft type, as well as the age of the turbulence report, up to about six hours.
Reported Turbulence is available as two add-ons for Pro Plus subscription plans and above: Reported Turbulence (Low) provides access to turbulence reports up to 14,000 feet, while Reported Turbulence (All) grants access to reports at all altitudes.
