The Pack feature in ForeFlight Mobile checks for missing data (based on the download settings) along a planned route of flight by creating a download “envelope” around a planned route, covering 25 nautical miles (nm) on either side of the route and a 50nm radius around departure and destination airports. Pack checks for and offers the following downloads:
-
Standard Items: Airport comments, METARs, TAFs, AIR/SIGMETs, NOTAMs, TFRs, fuel prices, and aeronautical data (terrain data, charts, and plates).
-
Pro Plus Plan: Adds forecast data for Icing, Turbulence, and Surface Analysis layers.
-
Performance Plus and Business Performance Plans: Adds 3D View Aerial Imagery and Dynamic Winds data.
Suggested Pack downloads are based on selections made in the Downloads section of ForeFlight Mobile. These settings can be viewed or updated by navigating to More > Downloads and adjusting Data Settings options (e.g., IFR Low, terminal procedures, VFR charts).
Packed data is available as ForeFlight features are used within the covered area along the route. For example, airport information for any location along the route will be displayed on the Airports page, and route maps can be viewed along the route by selecting the desired map layer on the Maps page.
Pack automatically rechecks the route for new weather and NOTAMs every 10 minutes. A notification badge will appear on the Pack icon when new data for the route is available.
