Sporty’s Flying with ForeFlight Updated for ForeFlight 8

Comprehensive video course now current for newest version of ForeFlight

Flying with ForeFlight enables pilots to stay proficient with their favorite electronic flight bag app. Now this course has been updated to include changes effective with ForeFlight 8.

Topics covered in the new Flying with ForeFlight include weather forecast discussions; a new aeronautical map layer; the differences in the composite vs. lowest tilt radar imagery; and a new segment on how to use the ForeFlight logbook.

This new version of Flying with ForeFlight is full of hands-on how to’s. The course explains how to decipher the new PIREP symbols, how to filter the type of AIRMETs shown on the maps, and how to retrieve a graphical weather briefing in the app from flight service.

“We have to move fast to keep up with the ever-changing high tech world of today’s GA pilot,” says Sporty’s Academy President Eric Radtke. “Using ForeFlight is now a community standard and we want pilots to have the best, most current information on maximizing the ForeFlight experience.”

Unique to the iOS app, Flying with ForeFlight now streams on demand. That feature reduces the file size of the app so that users can then save individual sections for offline viewing if desired.

“It’s not new, but the video review feature in the quiz section is pretty slick,” adds Radtke. “One button push takes you to the exact point of the video explaining the material covered in the quiz question. It’s many users’ favorite part of this course.”

Flying with ForeFlight is available as an online course (for Windows, Mac and tablets) or as a dedicated iPhone/iPad app, for $29.99 and may be ordered at sportys.com or by calling 800-SPORTYS.
