Yes, ForeFlight ensures secure and verified data downloads. Here’s how it is achieved:
-
Secure SSL Connection:
Data, including airport and navigation databases, instrument procedures, airport diagrams, sectionals, and IFR enroute charts, are downloaded through a secure SSL connection. -
Data Integrity Checks:
- MD5 Checksum Validation: ForeFlight performs checksum validations on downloaded data to ensure its integrity and protect against corruption.
- Internal Data Testing: Segments of the data are tested within the app to verify proper functionality.
-
Automatic Correction:
If any validation checks fail, the app removes the corrupted data from the device and reattempts the download process to ensure accuracy and security.
This multi-layered approach ensures the reliability of all data used in ForeFlight Mobile.
