Hello everyone,
We have another release to share with 11.6. Here are the release notes. For more information, visit https://foreflight.com/releases/11-6/
Expanded Coverage for Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, and Ukraine
General Aviation Forecasts (GAFOR)
3D Review
Map Annotations
Checklist Speak
Alternate Airports Included in Pack
It’s nice that we got Belarus and Ukraine although I somehow doubt that these two countries are of much interest for ordinary European GA pilot. Adding Serbia and Montenegro (just few airports in AIP – actually 4 real airports in these two countries) and Northern Macedonia (only 2 airports) would be much more useful.
I am waiting for fly by waypoints in route generation. Then I will renew my subscription which has just expired, and will get an ipad mini.
Funny thing yesterday ForeFlight continued to track me after landing when I was driving home. I hope traffic police doesn’t check EuroGA and won’t notice me driving 100 kts

Appreciate that Emir. We plan on having more released soon as we have released a batch of countries every month since October! 32 and counting.

You’re doing good job – I’m using georeferenced plates practically on every flight. Although it took some time to get used to AIP plates, at the end they increase situational awareness.
I’ve been looking again at FF and using it for VFR flight. The accurate depiction of CAS is then crucial.
This is what appears for my local area (decluttered by not showing airspace above 10k feet):
I was curious what these lines were
since they don’t appear on the 1:500k VFR chart (which shows airspace below FL195)
Zooming on on FF, one can see this
Can anyone tell me what this relates to?
This is was Jeppesen shows in that area.
As Garmin shows the same pic as Jeppesen it looks like an important database failure of FF. That’s what I guess at the moment.
Hi Peter,
Wolfgang here. Thank you for the report. Could you please send the screenshots and a short description to [email protected]? Our data team will take care of and correct the data. But first, they have to be aware of the issue.
Thank you,
Wolfgang
Wolfgang – will do.
Peter – that GP pic isn’t right either. See bottom left of your map
and compare with the CAA one
I think, in both cases, this is a failure of the declutter algorithm. Prob99 those shapes are in the database containing the airspace polygons. This is published, in the AIP I think. Lots of software has had problems with rendering this stuff in 3D.
I don’t have SD but EasyVFR shows it correctly
Jepp Flitestar (which probably nobody uses today – EuroVFR charts) shows it right
