GlideScope™ Demo – Emergency Landing Awareness Layer for ForeFlight

GlideScope™ Demo – Emergency Landing Awareness Layer for ForeFlight

This free sample layer covers a portion of West Virginia — a region where terrain and limited landing options make decision-making more challenging.

Load it into ForeFlight and compare it to the standard satellite layer to see how GlideScope highlights areas with better landing options.

This tool is to support decision-making — not replace it.

Helpful tips for when you load the layer in Foreflight.

What GlideScope Provides
