Yes. ForeFlight Mobile supports URL-based loading methods for loading views and data in the app. To use these, create a URL with the proper format and then click on that URL within an app that supports link-tapping, such as the iOS Mail app.
To launch ForeFlight Mobile and bring up a route on the Maps view, use a URL starting with this:
foreflightmobile://maps/search?q=
After the "q=" provide any search string that will work within ForeFlight Mobile. For instance, a route from KJGG to ORD to KOSH at 8000 feet while flying at 165 kts and burning 16 gph, would be entered in the search string as follows:
foreflightmobile://maps/search?q=KJGG+ORD+KOSH+165+16+8000
When specifying speeds, altitudes, or fuel burns within the search string, you can specify the unit format you prefer after each particular value:
- Speed: mph, kts
- Fuel Burn: gph, pph, lph, kgph
- Altitude: ft, m
If a unit format is not included, the app's current default unit for specific items, as defined within the app under MORE > SETTINGS, will be used. Here are examples of how to specify particular formats for units:
foreflightmobile://maps/search?q=KJGG+ORD+KOSH+125mph+12gph+8000
Or
foreflightmobile://maps/search?q=KOSH+GEP+KFCM+130kts+410kgph+4000ft
An aircraft tail number corresponding to an Aircraft Profile on a device within ForeFlight Mobile can also be used. To do so, add the tail number to the search string:
foreflightmobile://maps/search?q=KAUS+ELA+KSGR+165kts+20.5gph+14000ft+N12345
An Estimated Time of Departure (ETD) in Zulu time can also be added. Add the ETD in the form YYYYMMDDTHH:MM:SSZ to the search string:
foreflightmobile://maps/search?q=KAUS+ELA+KSGR+165kts+20.5gph+14000ft+N12345+20150801T22:40:00Z
