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.
U.S. Lowest-Tilt Radar
The Radar (Lowest-Tilt) layer only depicts radar returns obtained at the lowest angle of the radar’s sweep, which better correspond to where precipitation is reaching the ground in the form of rain or snow.
The new layer benefits from significantly reduced latency of six minutes or less and also provides enhanced spatial resolution, although the layer doesn’t yet support storm track markers.
Release 16.4 also provides enhancements to ForeFlight’s Runway Analysis product for jets and select turboprops, including an expanded workflow for selecting your flight’s Landing Distance Factor and a printer-friendly TOLD card for pilots. KA
