New ForeFlight Power Users Training Course Helps Pilots Fly Smarter

If you already use ForeFlight for flight planning and navigation, you know how powerful it can be. But for many pilots, there’s a gap between using the basics and truly integrating the app into every phase of flight. A new course from Sporty’s aims to close that gap.

Developed in collaboration with ForeFlight, the ForeFlight Power Users Training course is now available on the Sporty’s Pilot Training app platform. It’s designed to help pilots move beyond the fundamentals and use ForeFlight more effectively for real-world flying.

From button taps to better decision-making

It’s easy to learn where to tap in an app. What’s harder—and far more valuable—is understanding how to use those tools to make better decisions before, during, and after a flight.

That’s the focus of this course.

Instead of teaching features in isolation, the training is built around real pilot workflows, including:

• Planning efficient routes with advanced tools like Route Advisor
• Briefing departures, arrivals, and approaches using Procedure Advisor and Dynamic Procedures
• Evaluating weather and airspace with better context
• Managing inflight changes, including reroutes and diversions
• Using integrated weight and balance and performance tools to improve preflight planning

The goal is simple: help pilots use ForeFlight as a true decision-making tool—not just a digital chart viewer.

Training that goes beyond the basics

This course is ideal for:

• Pilots who already use ForeFlight but want to get more out of it
• Instrument-rated pilots looking to streamline IFR workflows
• Flight instructors teaching students how to use EFBs effectively

With more than five hours of video training, the course offers a deep dive into the features and techniques that experienced pilots rely on every day.

Learn anywhere, fly with confidence

The course is available for $75 exclusively on the Sporty’s Pilot Training app.

Features include:

• On-demand video lessons
• Progress tracking and quizzes
• A completion certificate
• Downloadable reference materials

A smarter way to use your EFB

As electronic flight bags become standard in the cockpit, knowing how to use them effectively is an essential pilot skill.

The ForeFlight Power Users Training course helps bridge that gap—turning a powerful app into a more valuable tool for safer, more efficient flying.

The course is available now in the Sporty’s Pilot Training app.

It was his first airplane trip at age seven that made Eric decide to become a pilot. "While boarding the airplane, a flight attendant noticed my interest in the flight deck and urged me to go talk to the pilot. I give a lot of credit to that pilot for my career choice." Eric earned a bachelor’s degree in finance and went on to an airline career. He learned to fly at Sporty’s as part of the University of Cincinnati’s Professional Pilot Program, an initiative he later directed.Eric now manages Sporty’s media network including FlightTrainingCentral.com. In addition, Eric serves as a Captain in a Cincinnati-based corporate flight department.
