ForeFlight Mobile version 14.2 adds new features to Weight & Balance. The new features (referred to as Enhanced Weight & Balance) include a load summary with signature and date fields. For individual accounts, Enhanced Weight & Balance is enabled in More > Accounts > ForeFlight Labs. Enhanced Weight & Balance is enabled for multi-pilot accounts by default.
Viewing the Load Summary
Tap Summary in the Weight & Balance view's upper toolbar. The Load Summary is depicted in a pop-up preview window.
Signing the Load Summary
It's not possible to sign the load summary from the preview pop-up window. To digitally sign the load summary, either:
Option 1: Share it with an app capable of annotating PDF documents, such as system Files, or
Option 2: To sign the load summary with ForeFlight Document annotation tools, send the load summary to another app, then share it from that app to ForeFlight.
To share the load summary with a third-party app:
Step 1: Tap Summary to display the load summary preview.
Step 2: Tap the share button.
Step 3: Select a third-party app from the share menu (Mail, Dropbox, Google Drive, Files, etc).
To sign the load summary with a third-party app:
Step 1: Open the app where you sent the load summary.
Step 2: Sign and date the load manifest within the third-party app.
To share the load summary with ForeFlight:

Markup
The share menu includes an option to use Markup to sign and date the load summary. Markup is an iOS built-in PDF editor. If you sign and date the load summary with Markup, you are using the iOS built-in PDF editor and not ForeFlight.
After signing the load summary with Markup, it is not possible to send the load summary directly back to ForeFlight. Load summaries signed with Markup can be sent to third-party apps for saving and then imported back to ForeFlight if desired.
