Hello John,
<= br>The FAA has published in PDF form a set of legends for VFR charts, IF= R charts, and terminal procedures. The references are great, so we've el= ected to link to them.

We recommend customers download copies of = these PDFs and keep them in iBooks or PDF reader app of choice:  &n= bsp;http://bit.ly/nK4622

To = download to your iPad/iPhone, first install iBooks (free) from the App S= tore, then tap Safari and go to the above link.  Then tap the link = for the PDF version of the FAA Aeronautical Chart User's Guide.  Wh= en the Guide appears, tap the Open in iBooks.   Use the scroll= bar along the bottom to move quickly through the documents.

Also= , Airspace details are now an interactive feature in ForeFlight Mobile v= 4.  Just tap and hold on the airspace on the VFR or IFR enroute cha= rts, a box will pop up, tap All, and the first item(s) list will be the = airspace details.

Also, be sure to set the Show Map Features to T= ap-Hold in the ForeFlight Mobile Settings.

Give that a try and le= t us know if any other questions arise -- we're happy to help!
