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.
Effective, but time to improve
This app is very helpful to passengers, however it hasn’t really gotten much attention since its release. It would be helpful if features such as radar overlays and additional landmark spotting features were added. Additionally the time remaining could be tweaked during the climb and descent to show accurate estimates during different phases of flight where not at typical cruising speed.
Good, not great
The base functionality works fine but adding more detail to the map itself would be great even if the app storage size was a bit larger and adding the ability to pass through layers like weather or traffic from adsb woukd be amazing too. A more detailed map is the largesr improvement that could be made in my opinion though, it’s just too high scale to be useful for short GA flights.
Map is awful
A mostly blank map with no information other than a few flight details? Why can’t you just download the street map already present on ForeFlight and use that as the Passenger map? I’d like to hand this to my passengers as a fun companion to their flight and a way to answer questions about what mountain peak they’re flying past, what road is that down below, etc. Instead the map is mostly blank and pretty useless.
Trip Sheet Feature
Please build a trip sheet feature that allows pilots to plan and push trip information from pilot app to pax.
Good Start
This app is great at what it does, I just wish it did a bit more. Base functionality to add would just be one more layer on the zoom in. I do a lot of local GA flights and my passengers can't see much other than freeways and major cities so adding one more layer deep in the zoom would be much better. Adding other layers like weather and traffic would be good too but bring able to zoom in just a bit more to see large roads, towns, and water would be great, it just has very limited functionality for my passengers right now.
Good, Can easily be great
We are running this in a PC-12 for passengers to track the flight. Being in a turbo prop, we often deviate for weather. The Ipads we provide pull GPS from an ADSB Receiver in the front. It would be incredibly helpful for passengers to also be able to toggle composite radar and estimate when we will be back on course when connected to such a device. Right now they are wondering why we have such a hard time flying in a straight line.
Map could be ALOT better
It’s not all that useful
Expanded Place Labels • Passenger’s collection of Place Labels has increased to over 50 thousand labels available around the world. • Included are labels for countries, states/provinces, cities/towns/villages, bodies of water like oceans, lakes, and rivers, and more.
