The new ForeFlight Mobile version (v6.4) released earlier this week has added performance-planning capability, cloud-based syncing of aircraft profiles and flight plans, World Aeronautical Charts and new recording options using the Stratus 2 ADS-B receiver.

Its performance-planning feature allows users to add details about taxi, takeoff, climb, cruise and descent performance (speed and fuel use). Once the information is entered, the user can then view aircraft performance at various altitudes using ForeFlight’s “altitude advisor” feature.

The new cloud sync feature allows pilots to start working with ForeFlight on one device and then continue the flight-planning and filing process on another. As long as both devices are connected to the Internet, profile and planning information is synchronized.

Meanwhile, World Aeronautical Charts are now included in the ForeFlight subscription ($149.99 per year for Mobile Pro). ForeFlight Mobile can record flights, but now the Stratus 2 unit can record flight parameters automatically when its GPS senses aircraft movement. Recording is part of the version 1.6 firmware update for Stratus 2.
