This repository is for pilot's who love a mission to fly and eat somewhere that is on location of an airport or just nearby walking distance.
Many pilot's use ForeFlight as their electronic flight bag (EFB) ForeFlight app, which contains a feature to download and import custom content packs that contain bundles of related content that can be accessed in the app, making it easier to adapt ForeFlight to a variety of specialized uses. See ForeFlight Content Pack Overview and ForeFlight Content Pack Support for more details.
This respository maintains a directory of airport restaurants viewable as waypoints on the ForeFlight map page by using the ForeFlight content packs. This allows you to research and plan your destination around food.
As an example, this is how the restaurants are shown over Florida, once the content pack is imported and selected from maps.
This work was inspired by others:
- $100 Fly In Restaurants U.S. Facebook Group specifically Tad Smith's "Master List" and Shannon Harris work of converting this to a map.
- Airport Based Restaurants Facebook Group
- Airport Based Restaurants on Google Maps
- AJ Poirier's Flying Home's Airport Restaurants across the US Google Map for the inital idea data used

Version 1.0 Concept Build
- Working concept.
- Content Packs allow offline content to viewed in flight without Internet connectivity.
- A future version may add an additional offline Profile page with pictures, addresses, and links to Google Maps for pictures, reviews, and menus (for when you do have Internet connectivity).
- Need automated way to create a template profile page from the content will need to be written.
- Need automated way to keep content up-to-date from the source(s) and to build the content pack automatically.
- Need automated way to push the up-to-date content pack directly to ForeFlight.
Keeping this content packs updated once imported into ForeFlight requires re-downloading newer content packs and re-importing into ForeFlight.
-
The ability for content packs to be downloaded and updated from a URL.
- This would be the simplest method, a link to selected and added to downloads list and ForeFlight would periodically check for new updates. This would function the same way Downloads from ForeFlight work. Client could always delete content pack they no longer want to recieve.
-
Allow concurrent multiple cloud drive providers for Documents
- The cloud storage feature is only available for Performance Plus subscribers of ForeFlight which by adding a folder named contentpacks to the root folder, content packs in the folder are automatically available to download and update. However only one cloud provider is available concurrently. Pilots may need access to multiple resources, companies, flight schools, flight clubs, 3rd party content, etc. I envision a subscription service that provided valuable content on various contant that would currate and keep up-to-date.
