Airports in the path of totality
Airports in the path of totality
Utilizing ForeFlight, AOPA has created a content pack that lets you plot the path of totality, allowing users to determine airports along the path. The eclipse path lines, and totality times come from official data provided by NASA.
About the content pack
The shaded areas indicate the amount of totality time and are as follows:
- Center shaded area (green when viewed on a sectional chart): 4-plus minutes of totality.
- Outer shaded area (yellow when viewed on a sectional chart): 3 to 4 minutes of totality.
Note: The colors of the shaded areas may vary a little depending on which base layer in ForeFlight is enabled. For the purpose of this explanation, they will be defined as green and yellow since that is how they appear on a sectional chart base layer. However, the colors have transparency so if a different base layer is enabled, the colors may vary from how they appear on a sectional base layer.
- The closer to the center of each shaded area, the more totality time will be experienced.
- The outside lines around the unshaded area depict the full eclipse path and will have some totality time but will be less than 3 minutes and continue to reduce to 0 at the perimeter line.
- The path and shaded areas do not indicate the times when the eclipse will be in certain areas or over airports so the times will need to be obtained elsewhere.
