In ForeFlight VFR Flight Planning 101 and 201, Mike Jesch will establish a foundation of pre-flight planning techniques that you can build on as you develop your skills. We will assume that you already know how to plan a flight using “old school” flight planning techniques such as paper charts and flight logs or other EFBs. These webinars will cover:
- The basics of designing a VFR flight route using ForeFlight.
- How to analyze that route and demonstrate methods to identify various issues such as airspace, terrain, and weather, and make appropriate adjustments to the route .
- How to use the route, altitude, and alternate advisor features.
- And much more.
ForeFlight Flight Planning 201 will build upon Planning 101 to show advanced features, tips and tricks to analyze your VFR flight route.
Note: Planning 101 is not a pre-requisite for Planning 102, although we recommend you attend both or view the recording for Planning 101 before attending Planning 201.
Additional future ForeFlight webinars will discuss how to file flight plans, obtain weather briefings, add procedures to your flight plans, and use other ForeFlight tools.
HAVE AVAILABLE DURING THE WEBINAR: If you want to follow along on your iPad, please have ForeFlight already loaded with current version of ForeFlight, taxi diagrams, A/FD (Chart Supplement), and VFR charts for California.
