Description

Passenger is the companion app to ForeFlight Mobile that answers the question “Are we there yet?” Built on ForeFlight’s high-performance map engine, Passenger automatically connects to your pilot’s ForeFlight app and displays the current route so you can monitor your flight’s progress. Passenger also provides helpful flight information like time to destination, expected arrival time, altitude, groundspeed, and magnetic bearing. Any time your pilot makes changes to the route in ForeFlight, Passenger will automatically update the route shown to reflect those changes.

  • Great but adding more features can make it even better

    Like using the passenger app for my passengers in the plane. So they have updated info and can be well aware of where we are without having to teach them to use foreflight. But it would be nice to have an option to show traffic coming from the ADSB. So that they can assist in looking for traffic. I think that would be such a great feature addition

    Are you serious ? Is this the best a Boeing Company can do? Where are the great visual graphics? You truly missed the chance to show passengers your stuff. I don’t care how easy it is to install it boring boring and still boring I keep looking for the color enhance button. 2 stars / One for free and One the thought. Wow let’s try and raise the bar just a little on the next effort.
  • Needs more map data

    By JeffDBoston
    I end up typically just running ForeFlight itself on my cell phone for passengers to look at because the passenger app needs more granular maps (more towns perhaps some additional road data) and also the ability to show airports on the map. My passengers like doing some pilotage and enjoy seeing landmarks shown on their view like airports.
  • Really cool experience for passengers

    This app rocks but I think something that would be cool is a way to On the main foreflight app be able to send notifications to the passengers. Such as sometimes I’m isolated do to a lot of distractions in the cockpit but if we can control messages to the passenger app that would be amazing. Also a way to have a seatbelt sign would be really cool that we can control on the main foreflight app.
  • Remaining time tweak needed

    Really like the ForeFlight Passenger app. Came in handy when our aircraft’s Airshow System broke. Glad that one can airplay it from an iPhone to an Apple TV, but would like to see Passenger app available on the Apple TV too in the future. Minor complaint - the Remaining time and ETA are not accurate during initial climb out, when re-routed nor on radar vectors to final. On climbout it initially indicated 11+ hours remaining time shortly after takeoff (for our 5 hour flight). Once at cruising altitude/speed, the remaining time and ETA got more accurate (within 15 minutes of our aircraft FMS remaining time). During re-route, Remaining time grew to an hour off before I thought about using the Direct To feature on ForeFlight then re-pushing the data from ForeFlight to Passenger app manually. During approach phase, the Remaining time indicated 8 minutes remaining abeam the airport, but the time grew higher as we were vectored to the other side of the airport to intercept a 10 mile final. Even though we eventually flew the final approach track loaded in ForeFlight, the Remaining time kept increasing (to 31 minutes remaining on a 5 mile final to land) before I turned the app off. Passengers commented they could see E-mail pop-ups on the Passenger app screen.
  • Simulated Flight

    It’s a cool app, and well done, just like all ForeFlight products. But, it doesn’t work for my home simulator. My simulated passengers (my kids) would like to follow our flight, but it uses the device’s location to track the route. So, the app doesn’t know the simulated airplane is flying. Oh well! 5-stars because it wasn’t designed to do that.
  • Needs weather

    It is a great app but, it needs weather on it. Also maybe different maps.
  • A good idea but...

    A good idea but map is not useful to passengers. My passengers tell me they want to see street maps.
  • Nice addition

    Innovative lunch and application that meets a specific need. Giving it five stars for the idea. Love the simplicity and how you kept the layout clean from clutter. There are a couple of improvements that you might consider for the next update. My wife is constantly asking me what’s that road, what’s that town, what’s that mountain, or what’s that lake. It be nice for her to have layers on the map that she could look up that information first hand. Also, It would be nice to be able to send an invite within the app for people to download Passenger directly without having to search for it.
  • Missing something

    Dear ForeFlight , Your apps are great, when I opened ForeFlight this morning I was so happy and excited about the passages app.I thought finely something reliable for my wife and love ones to track me while I am in flight so they don’t worry and can plan their day.i don’t know how many , but I suspect their are a lot of people like me who fly single pilot over long legs .please make this improvement ,to me that would make this a true 5 star app
