Inflight Insight for Passengers
Passenger is the companion app to ForeFlight Mobile that answers the question “Are we there yet?” Built on ForeFlight’s high-performance map engine, Passenger automatically connects to your pilot’s ForeFlight app and displays the current route so you can monitor your flight’s progress. Passenger also provides helpful flight information like time to destination, expected arrival time, altitude, groundspeed, and magnetic bearing. Any time your pilot makes changes to the route in ForeFlight, Passenger will automatically update the route shown to reflect those changes.
ForeFlight Mobile will only share route information with nearby Passenger devices - Passenger does not support ground-based flight tracking. ForeFlight customers must update to at least version 11.2 to share their route with Passenger.
High-Performance Global Map
Pan and zoom around the world with ease thanks to Passenger’s advanced map engine or leave the map auto-centered on your location. The map displays country and state boundaries, city and place labels, roads, railways, rivers, natural parks, and urban areas, making it easy to identify ground features from the air.
Detailed Flight Information
No need to ask when you’ll arrive - Passenger uses your device’s GPS data to power helpful inflight metrics showing your speed, altitude, magnetic bearing, time to destination, and estimated arrival time. Your pilot's device will also provide some of this information to Passenger before takeoff or when GPS data isn't available, such as when using a Wi-Fi only iPad.
Destination Weather
Keep tabs on the weather at your destination airport so you know what to expect on arrival. Passenger uses the latest valid METAR available on your pilot's device to display the temperature, wind speed, and weather conditions using simple icons for things like sunny, partly cloudy, rain, snow, and more. Customize the units for temperature and wind speed in Passenger's Settings menu.
Automatic Route Updates
Once your pilot enables route sharing in ForeFlight, Passenger will automatically connect and display the current route on your device, along with any changes made during the flight. There’s no limit to how many devices ForeFlight can share its route with, so everyone on board can stay on the same page with Passenger.
If you're using a Wi-Fi only iPad or don't have a GPS fix, ForeFlight will also share GPS data with your device so you can see your current position in Passenger.
Multitask Ready
Passenger supports multitasking on iPad, allowing you to overlay the app in a small window on top of another app using Slide Over, or open it alongside another app in Split View.
Download and Go
Passenger is free to download from the App Store, with no account creation, subscription purchase, or download selections required. Just open the app and you’re all set to start following along. Tell your friends, family, and anyone else who rides along to download Passenger before boarding!

Artist Biography by Matt Collar
With his intimate, folk-inflected sound, Mike Rosenberg, aka Passenger, has built a loyal following, garnering accolades and chart success along the way. A native of Brighton, Rosenberg initially started Passenger as a band, but after their debut album, he headed out on his own, assuming the moniker as his stage name. He busked around Australia while recording his first few albums before breaking through with the single 'Let Her Go' from his 2012 album All the Little Lights. The song topped the charts in several countries, peaking at number one on the Billboard Adult Top 40 chart. It also earned Rosenberg a Brit Award nomination for British Single of the Year, and won the Ivor Novello Award for Most Performed Work. Since then, Rosenberg has remained a constant presence on the folk and pop charts, issuing a handful of lyrical and cinematic albums, including 2014's Whispers, 2016's Young as the Morning Old as the Sea, and 2018's Runaway.
Rosenberg was born in Brighton, England in 1984 to an English mother and American father. He started taking classical guitar lessons, and by his early teens was writing his own songs. Hoping to pursue a music career, he left school at age 16, and spent several years busking in England and Australia. After he met multi-instrumentalist/producer Andrew Phillips in 2002, the duo formed Passenger, bringing bassist Marcus O'Dair, keyboardist Richard Brincklow, and drummer Alon Cohen on board. In 2007 they released Passenger's full-length debut, Wicked Man's Rest, which spawned the single 'Walk You Home.' Passenger opened for several high-profile indie acts throughout the U.K. that year, including Kate Nash and the Hold Steady. The following year found the band providing the soundtrack to the film Where Have I Been All Your Life? and performing at the 2008 SXSW festival in Austin, Texas.
After Phillips left the band in 2009, Rosenberg adopted Passenger as his stage name. His sophomore album, Wide Eyes Blind Love, also released that year, reflected this change with a stripped-down acoustic sound. A year later, Passenger returned with the 'fan-only' release Divers and Submarines. Also in 2010, he released Flight of the Crow, featuring collaborations with such artists as Josh Pyke, Katie Noonan, Elana Stone, and others.
In 2012, Rosenberg issued his fifth full-length effort as Passenger, All the Little Lights, which featured a more fully fleshed-out sound. While the album was released in the summer of 2012, it wasn't until 2013 that the single 'Let Her Go' broke through as a hit in Europe, eventually reaching number one in 16 countries, including Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Ireland, Italy, and Belgium. By the end of 2014, 'Let Her Go' had garnered a Brit Award nomination for British Single of the Year and won the Ivor Novello Award for Most Performed Work.

Rosenberg had already begun work on his next album, Whispers, toward the end of 2013 and enlisted All the Little Lights co-producer Chris Vallejo to work with him. Whispers was released in 2014 and featured the singles 'Scare Away the Dark' and 'Heart's on Fire.' Also well-received, it peaked at number two in Australia and number five in England, and landed at number 12 on the Billboard 200. A year later, Rosenberg collaborated with Vallejo for Whispers II, with all profits going to help fund UNICEF U.K.'s work in Liberia.
Passenger Let Her Go
Passenger returned in 2016 with Young as the Morning Old as the Sea, which saw Rosenberg and Vallejo collaborating as producers alongside a newly assembled group of musicians. A massive success, the album topped the U.K. charts and reached the Top Ten in countries around the world. In the summer of 2017, at the end of a major tour, Rosenberg surprised fans with his eighth studio album, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, which was issued by his own label. The album peaked at number five on the U.K. charts. In 2018, Rosenberg celebrated his American heritage with the rootsy, Americana-inflected Runaway, featuring the single 'Hell or High Water.' To promote the album, he embarked on a three-week road trip of the United States, filming acoustic video performances of songs from the album at various inspiring locations. In 2019 Rosenberg released the acoustic guitar, vocals, and string quartet LP Sometimes It's Something, Sometimes It's Nothing at All, which saw all proceeds go to the U.K.-based homeless charity Shelter. Retreating to Brighton after the break-up with his partner, Rosenberg started to write and record his 13th studio album -- releasing the eight-song album Patchwork in the process -- with the breakdown of his relationship becoming its focus. Although recorded prior to the COVID-19 lockdown in the U.K., Songs for the Drunk & Broken Hearted was issued at the beginning of 2021.
