By combining robust tools with a commitment to enhancing member value, iFlightPlanner for AOPA is launching new features that make cross-country planning, interactions with Flight Service, and in-flight safety simpler and more intuitive than ever!

Here's a look at what's in store:

Multi-Leg Planning with Fuel Stops

Planning cross-country trips is getting easier! Currently available as an iFlightPlanner Premium feature, multi-leg planning is coming to iFlightPlanner for AOPA in 2025. This update will allow you to seamlessly organize your entire trip, including fuel stops, in a single, unified trip. No more juggling multiple legs across different interfaces. With all legs accessible at once, you’ll have greater control and clarity when managing multi-leg trips. This feature significantly simplifies planning and ensures your cross-country adventures are both efficient and stress-free.

Streamlined Access with Single Sign-On

Tired of managing multiple sets of credentials when accessing iFlightPlanner on your iPhone or iPad? With iFlightPlanner and AOPA’s new single sign-on integration, you’ll enjoy a unified sign-in experience across all platforms. This enhancement will eliminate the hassle of multiple login credentials, allowing you to focus on flight planning and less on password resets. It’s one more way iFlightPlanner is ensuring ease of use for you as an AOPA member.

Enhanced Flight Plan Filing

Filing and managing your flight plans is about to get a major upgrade, too. Real-time notifications from Flight Service will now integrate directly into iFlightPlanner for AOPA, keeping you informed of important flight plan status changes. Whether it’s an IFR ATC clearance or the activation and closure of a VFR flight plan, you’ll have instant updates to stay on top of every detail. This real-time connectivity ensures smoother operations from pre-flight to post-flight. Just make sure to authorize your iFlightPlanner account with Flight Service!

Profile View

Safety meets simplicity with the introduction of Profile View, an all-new feature designed to help you visualize your route in relation to elevation and potential terrain-related trouble spots. This feature has been the most member-requested enhancement since iFlightPlanner for AOPA first launched and we’re thrilled to bring it to you! The initial version of Profile View will offer a basic depiction of your flight path over terrain, making it easier than ever to identify and avoid hazards. This enhanced situational awareness is especially beneficial for navigating unfamiliar terrain and planning the safest possible route.

Why These Updates Matter

At iFlightPlanner, we’re passionate about making flight planning intuitive, efficient, and safe. Each of these enhancements was designed with AOPA members in mind, offering a blend of cutting-edge technology and user-focused improvements. From simplifying cross-country planning to ensuring seamless account management and boosting situational awareness, these features embody our commitment to delivering tools that help AOPA members focus on what they love most: flying.

Stay tuned as we roll out these exciting updates in 2025. Whether you’re planning a local flight or a multi-leg adventure, iFlightPlanner for AOPA is here to elevate your flight planning every step of the way!

Updated FAA Guidance for Using EFBs

Wednesday, March 6, 2024 @ 8:00 AM

The FAA has released AC 91-78A, updating guidance for aircraft owners, operators, and pilots under Title 14 CFR part 91 on using Electronic Flight Bags (EFBs). This update simplifies replacing traditional paper information with digital solutions, including hosted database and software applications, while ensuring regulatory compliance.

EFBs like iFlightPlanner have been be a game-changer, allowing pilots to store and retrieve essential flight information electronically, such flight plans, regulatory compliant weather briefs, weight and balance calculations, aeronautical charts, and more.  The new guidance clears the way for fully digitized cockpits, provided the digital information meets specific criteria: it must not replace required aircraft systems, should be equivalent to the paper versions, must be current and accurate, and should not interfere with flight operations.

Additionally, the AC recommends assessments for human-machine interface and Crew Resource Management (CRM), and highlights the importance of training and security procedures to ensure safe and effective use of EFBs.
