Cruise speed and fuel burn adjustments help ForeFlight’s Performance Profiles reflect an aircraft’s actual performance when consistent discrepancies are noted. Follow these steps to adjust the profile:
Gather Data
Track at least ten flights, recording actual fuel burn and flight times. Compare these with ForeFlight’s predicted values to identify consistent differences (e.g., fuel burn consistently higher by ~3%).
Adjust the Profile
STEP 1. Open ForeFlight Mobile.
STEP 2. Select the More tab.
STEP 3. Select Aircraft.
STEP 4. Choose the aircraft to modify.
STEP 5. Go to the Performance section and tap Performance Profiles.
STEP 6. Choose the Cruise profile to adjust.
STEP 7. Adjust the Cruise Speed and Cruise Fuel Flow sliders based on the performance observed over a series of flights.
These adjustments will refine ForeFlight’s model to reflect an aircraft’s actual performance better.
