Today ForeFlight announced ForeFlight 8, an update to the popular IOS app that CEO Tyson Weihs says, "Might be our biggest release since 2011." That year marked ForeFlight's first release designedspecificallyfor the iPad. The most obvious change is in mapping. Pilots using ForeFlight spend the majority of their time with a sectional or IFR en route chart as the background, over which they see their aircraft, route, weather and more. ForeFlight 8 changes this.
