Approach overlay on Ipad with Foreflight?

[Sac Arrow]

I'm not talking about georeferenced plates, I'm talking about overlaying an ILS, VOR or NDB approach on the enroute chart on the Ipad with Foreflight, complete with procedure turns and holds like you can do with a 430 or 530.

Is there a convenient way to do this, short creating some complex route by connecting all the waypoints?

Like this (with VFR sectional).

Or are you talking about the actual waypoints on the chart? I think that is what you are asking, if so, no. I usually try to increase the transparency so I can see them on the chart.

I would pull the procedure up on an overlay, as shown above, and then use the rubber band feature to drag the route over the fixes on the plate. A lot faster than typing them in.

With FF overlay feature it's easy to add the waypoints via a tap and hold.

Yeah, but can that be done with the standard Foreflight or do you need the pro subscription? That is the georeferenced plate feature, right?

You need Pro for the georeferenced charts.

You need the pro ,well worth the money.even better when linked to the stratus.

So either way you're still rubber banding together fixes for a route. I played with it a little bit, it's not too bad as long as the procedure is fairly simple.

Correct. There's no current feature that includes the sequence of fixes in a IAP. I suspect Jep is the only one with that data in a usable format and it's pretty expensive for FF to access it.

That wasn't so bad... Never tried this before.

Yep, do that all the time. Do a Direct To the destination airport, then rubber band to initial approach fix, the rubber band the intermediate fixes. You now have time and distance to each fix on the approach to backup your regular navigation device. It's really a brilliantly conceived feature in FF.
