      Lol I just got Foreflight yesterday and I feel the same way! I earned my private pilot license this past March and I’ve been using paper charts since. I’ve been fooling around with it for almost an entire day! It’s definitely different

      That’s the way to do it. Use paper charts to train and then spoil yourself once you get your certificate

    Hello Guys, thanks for your nice product. I am a CIS pilot, work as a CFI in Kazakhstan, and unfortunately there are almost nothing, only basic information. Could you please develop and add more information into forflight for Kazakhstan airspace? Have used your app in Florida, brilliant, but not using in my country. Many pilots would have your app in Kazakhstan 🇰🇿... thank you and do not stop doing your business.

      Still gonna need cellular if you want to activate your flight plan with a click of a button. I also fly aircraft exempt from ADS-B that I still take cross country, so no aircraft gps to connect to there.

      For GPS only, you don't. You don't get a signal at flight altitudes anyway, if you really need internet access, you can always create a Wi-Fi hotspot with your phone.

    Question for anyone that could answer me, the ruler on foreflight gives Magnetic Course? Is that correct? And if it is, to get my True course I would add/subtract the opposite to the variation lines to get true heading, and then add/subtract wind correction so I could get true course is that right? Thank you!!

    Starting PPL training soon & thinking ahead does anyone know if: 1) Foreflight highlights a recommended altitude based on input and/or real-time info? 2) Is there autopilot integration? and if 2, 3) Will Foreflight/Auto-pilot querie to reroute based on changing conditions and/or Internet Traffic? Thanks in advance!!

    At 6:19 runway 5 has a 5kt headwind? I see a green arrow for 5kts on runway 5, and to me a green arrow indicates more speed, so I would think that it is a tailwind. I am wrong, did Ryan misspeak?

      The main point of this app is for inflight use on a tablet. Apple really dominates the tablet market (even though I love my android-based kindle), and if you're a pilot that is using this product and shelling out the annual fee it makes sense to have a dedicated iPad for this app.
