ForeFlight Passenger

This app is very helpful to passengers, however it hasn’t really gotten much attention since its release. It would be helpful if features such as radar overlays and additional landmark spotting features were added. Additionally the time remaining could be tweaked during the climb and descent to show accurate estimates during different phases of flight where not at typical cruising speed.

The base functionality works fine but adding more detail to the map itself would be great even if the app storage size was a bit larger and adding the ability to pass through layers like weather or traffic from adsb woukd be amazing too. A more detailed map is the largesr improvement that could be made in my opinion though, it’s just too high scale to be useful for short GA flights.

A mostly blank map with no information other than a few flight details? Why can’t you just download the street map already present on ForeFlight and use that as the Passenger map? I’d like to hand this to my passengers as a fun companion to their flight and a way to answer questions about what mountain peak they’re flying past, what road is that down below, etc. Instead the map is mostly blank and pretty useless.

Please build a trip sheet feature that allows pilots to plan and push trip information from pilot app to pax.

This app is great at what it does, I just wish it did a bit more. Base functionality to add would just be one more layer on the zoom in. I do a lot of local GA flights and my passengers can't see much other than freeways and major cities so adding one more layer deep in the zoom would be much better. Adding other layers like weather and traffic would be good too but bring able to zoom in just a bit more to see large roads, towns, and water would be great, it just has very limited functionality for my passengers right now.

We are running this in a PC-12 for passengers to track the flight. Being in a turbo prop, we often deviate for weather. The Ipads we provide pull GPS from an ADSB Receiver in the front. It would be incredibly helpful for passengers to also be able to toggle composite radar and estimate when we will be back on course when connected to such a device. Right now they are wondering why we have such a hard time flying in a straight line.

It’s not all that useful

Incredibly lame.The simulates the sort of thing you see in an airliner but with almost no map detail. I expected some additional data from the pilots ForeFlight, such as weather, airspace or traffic, but there is nothing but route, speed, and ETA. Most passengers will be better informed using another map application with GPS location.

Can’t seem to find it foe the iPad only the phone

This is a great idea, but the map quality is terrible...passengers expect something along the lines of Apple Maps, showing streets, etc., not some low-res thing that looks like it was drawn with a crayon! Since the flight plan is known ahead of time, the app should cache all the tiles it is going to need to show a reasonable quality map throughout the flight. Update: A year later and still the same crappy maps. Pathetic development team on this thing.
