Jeppesen ForeFlight believes every pilot, passenger, and crew member deserves the confidence that comes from flying safely. For more than a century, we have helped aviators make better decisions with trusted navigation data, advanced planning tools, and real-time insights designed to reduce risk in the air and on the ground.

More than 60 million commercial, military, business, and general aviation flights each year rely on our platforms to plan, navigate, monitor, and optimize operations. From weather and terrain awareness to traffic, routing, and operational support, our tools are built to help pilots stay informed, prepared, and focused when it matters most.

***********************************

As we age, experience and training become increasingly important.

Brain health is crucial for any pilot. How do we protect it best? Flying requires sharp skills, and it’s integral that pilots are at the top of their game when they are at the controls. Aerospace Neurologist Dr. Billy Hoffman explores the mind of a pilot and answers questions about how the brain encodes information, what the primary dangers to cognitive health are, and how we can safeguard our brain health as we age.
