supports step-
climbs. The flight
planning engine
calculates the
highest possible
initial altitude, then automatically creates step-climb legs as the aircraft weight decreases.
After filing your flight plan in ForeFlight, you will now receive a push notification to your device when ATC issues a revised expected route and when adverse weather conditions arise that may affect your flight. Weather alerts can be accessed in the Messages tab in the Flights view and Flight Notifications are available to all customers who file flight plans via ForeFlight.
