ADS-B Radar can be animated in ForeFlight, but receiving enough frames for animation takes time. When retrieving Radar data over the Internet, frames are retrieved in bulk from time past to present. However, with ADS-B Radar, frames are loaded from the present and then forward in time (every 5-15 minutes).
To animate ADS-B Radar, open ForeFlight Mobile and select the Radar layer on the Maps page. ADS-B Radar data will start to be loaded. As new ADS-B radar frames are received, the option to animate the Radar will become available. The animation loop will increase up to a maximum of 30 minutes.
