Press Release: ForeFlight.com for the Apple iPhone

Houston, TX USA - July 15, 2007 - ForeFlight.com announced today the availability of two new mobile applications designed specifically for the iPhone: MyMetar iPhone Edition and ForeFlight iPhone Edition.

MyMetar iPhone Edition provides pilots access to their MyMetar.com accounts and aviation weather information from an Apple iPhone. ForeFlight iPhone Edition, a premium offering, combines MyMetar.com's functionality and an innovative Airport/Facility Directory (A/FD), automatic favorites™, ASOS and AWOS direct-dial™, smart search, integration with iPhone's Google Maps application, and access to aviation podcasts. These two ground-breaking applications provide pilots access to the information they need from any location.

“Pilots are, by definition, ubiquitous travelers, and so being able to get the information they need right in their hands and on demand can really make their routines a lot more efficient,” said ForeFlight.com co-founder, Jason Miller. “It's a great application on a very cool hardware platform - everything a pilot needs right in your pocket.”

ForeFlight iPhone Edition is the marriage of ForeFlight Desktop Edition, a tool for combining airport and weather data with intuitive graphics, and MyMetar.com, a popular Web 2.0 service for accessing frequently needed weather information. The combined features delivered on the most innovative mobile platform available make ForeFlight iPhone Edition an amazingly useful companion.

“Since our launch on 07.07.07, we have already signed up an impressive number of subscribers. We expect that the large MyMetar.com and ForeFlight user bases will welcome this new addition to the family,” said Tyson Weihs, co-founder of ForeFlight.com. “Since ForeFlight iPhone Edition is fundamentally a web application, we can add new functionality quickly and keep surprising our users with inventive, time-saving features. We are the first to bring pilots an intelligent A/FD, integrated weather, and content all from a single iPhone application. We are also the first to leverage the iPhone platform to deliver pilots aviation podcasts wherever you are. Our roadmap is very, very exciting.”

ForeFlight iPhone Edition is available through a monthly or yearly subscription service. MyMetar iPhone Edition is available free of charge. More information is at http://www.foreflight.com
