Protocol Launcher

ForeFlight Mobile ​

ForeFlight Mobile is an aviation planning and electronic flight bag app. Protocol Launcher allows you to generate ForeFlight Mobile URL scheme links.

Usage ​

There are two ways to use this library:

  • On-Demand import from subpaths enables tree-shaking and keeps bundles small.
  • Full Import from the root package is convenient but includes all app modules.

Pick On-Demand for production builds; Full Import is fine for quick scripts or demos.

Convenient. Good for quick scripts.

URL Methods ​

ForeFlight's official URL Schemes page lists foreflightmobile://maps/search?q=... for Maps searches. This module exposes only that documented form.

Generate the documented URL that launches ForeFlight Mobile and searches on the Maps view.

On-Demand
ts
import { mapSearch } from 'protocol-launcher/foreflight-mobile'

const url = mapSearch({
  q: 'KISM OCF NITTS KSRQ 165 16 8000',
})
Search ForeFlight Maps
