Enhanced Weight & Balance includes a load summary with signature and date fields. It is enabled by default for multi-pilot accounts and can be activated for individual accounts via More > Accounts > ForeFlight Labs.
Viewing the Load Summary
To view the Load Summary, do the following:
- Open the Weight & Balance view.
- Tap Summary in the upper toolbar.
The Load Summary will appear in a pop-up preview window.
Signing the Load Summary
It is not possible to sign the load summary directly within the pop-up preview. Use one of the following methods:
Option 1: Use a Third-Party App
- Tap Summary to display the load summary preview.
- Tap the Share button and select a third-party app capable of annotating PDF documents, such as system Files.
- Open the app where the load summary was shared.
- Sign and date the load summary within the third-party app.
Option 2: Use ForeFlight Annotation Tools
- Tap Summary to display the load summary preview.
- Tap the Share button and select a third-party app (e.g., Mail, Dropbox, Google Drive, Files, etc).
- From the third-party app, tap the Share button again to export the load summary back to ForeFlight.
- When ForeFlight opens, choose to import the load summary to:
- Documents (Imported Documents Drive).
- Flights (for Performance accounts).
- Open the load summary in ForeFlight and use the annotation tool to sign and date it.
Option 3: Use Markup (iOS Built-in PDF Editor)
- Tap Summary to display the load summary preview.
- Tap the Share button and select Markup.
- Use Markup to sign and date the load summary.
- Select Done.
- Select Save File To.
Important Notes for Markup:
- Markup operates outside of ForeFlight.
- Load summaries signed with Markup cannot be sent directly back to ForeFlight.
- To bring a signed summary into ForeFlight, save it in a third-party app and then import it into ForeFlight as desired.
