Emergency Glide Mode

• Quickly identify nearby airports and potential off-airport landing areas in the event of an engine failure when every second counts. 

• Enable the Glide Advisor map overlay in the Maps Settings menu and configure the best glide speed and ratio for your aircraft to make Emergency Glide Mode available during a flight. 

• A green button in the bottom-right corner of the Maps view shows the current number of airports within glide range. Tap this button to enter Emergency Glide Mode, which provides a focused and distraction-free view of your landing options.

• ForeFlight lists promising airports within your glide range in the top right, with information about each airport such as runway length, current weather conditions (if known), and your expected arrival altitude above the airport.

• Tap Activate Glide to set up a direct route to the selected airport and expose the Maps view Instrument Panel with real-time metrics as you approach the airport.

• If no airports are within your glide range, Emergency Glide Mode highlights roads and power lines, and identifies Possible Landing Areas directly on the map in green. Built from U.S. Geological Survey data, this virtual map layer helps narrow and direct your scan for “best-bet” landing sites most likely to be suitable for an emergency landing.

• Emergency Glide Mode is available globally with all ForeFlight plan levels, while the Possible Landing Areas map is available in the lower 48 states of the contiguous U.S.

Documents: European Supplements & AICs

• European pilots can now view more complete country-specific documentation covering AIP supplements and AICs directly in ForeFlight via the Europe document drive. 

• Thanks to new support for multiple layers of nested Document folders, each supported European country now has sub-folders containing AIP supplements and AICs, in addition to the existing General, Enroute, and Aerodrome AIP documents for each country.

• All European documents are available with ForeFlight’s Europe subscription region.
