ForeFlight is adding new ocean plotting and fleet tracking capabilities to its suite of software solutions for business aviation, the Boeing-backed company announced this week at NBAA-BACE.
The tool—which is integrated with ForeFlight’s Dispatch flight planning software and Active Navlog products released in May—eliminates the need for paper charts and record-keeping. According to ForeFlight, it allows pilots to easily manage their position reports and gross navigational error checks, and navlogs are all automatically recorded in Dispatch.
On Wednesday, the company announced that Swiss full-service provider Jet Aviation has agreed to use ForeFlight’s Dispatch as the primary flight planning software platform for its global fleet of business jets. 
David Best, senior v-p and general manager of Jet Aviation of the Americas, said ForeFlight Dispatch “allows us to provide increased visibility on flight data for both the planner and the pilot, automating many parts of the process and integrating into a crew app and the aircraft software to provide a seamless plan. Using one tool across our global network ensures that our teams are more easily able to collaborate to provide an effortless experience for our crews, wherever they fly with Jet Aviation.”
