Important Notice: Discontinuation of Forge Flight Planning Tools and Services

Dear Forge Flight Services Customers,


Due to the complexities of maintaining a state-of-the-art, cyber-compliant flight planning system and services, Honeywell has decided to discontinue Forge Flight Planning Tools and Services by April 30, 2025. With this change, Honeywell’s mygdc.com website and services will no longer be available. We understand that this decision may impact your operations, and we are committed to supporting you through this transition—including assistance with training and adaptation to alternative systems.


Forge Flight Planning and FlightBagPro customers will continue to have access to these services until April 2025. Please note that we have discontinued annual subscription offerings and now only provide monthly plans FltPlan.


Flight Sentinel customers can continue using Forge Flight Planning tools to support your operations until April 2025. We encourage you to migrate to Foreflight’s integrated flight planning and dispatch solution, which offers seamless integration with our systems.


Forge Datalink services will continue to operate. Features on the mygdc.com website that support datalink services will be migrated to the Forge Dashboard on February 24, 2025. (https://bga.honeywellforge.com/dashboard).


Customer Support - Our dedicated sales and support teams are here to assist you during this transition. We will guide you to alternative solutions and answer any questions you may have. For further assistance, please reach out to us at FlightServices@honeywell.com or call our support lines at 888-634-3330 / 602-365-7020.


We appreciate your understanding and are ready to support you through this period. For more information, please refer to the FAQs below.


FAQs


Honeywell recommends transitioning to the flight planning services provided by partner Foreflight. Customers can also choose to move to other mainstream flight planning services like FltPlan.com.

Along with flight planning, services that supplement flight planning like RAIM and Runway Analysis & Weights and Balance (through APG) will also be discontinued as it is likely that customers would prefer to procure these from their flight planning provider. It is possible that some customers will have had custom solutions with regards to aircraft type for Runway Analysis & Weights and Balance services. Honeywell will help these customers migrate to alternative solutions such as moving to a direct subscription with APG or Foreflight.

Forge Datalink services will continue to operate beyond April 2025. However, as mygdc.com is sunset, datalink features will move to the Forge Dashboard starting February 2025. These features will remain available on mygdc.com until April 2025. Datalink customers who wish to move to an alternate other than Foreflight can submit their flight plans to Honeywell for recall from aircraft via datalink. Please note that ArincDirect flight plans are not supported.

FlightBagPro will be decommissioned with the sunset of flight planning services. We recommend transitioning to Foreflight’s Electronic Flight Bag application.

For Flight Sentinel customers, Honeywell Forge has worked to integrate the Foreflight dispatch system into Flight Sentinel processes and recommends that customers switch to Foreflight’s integrated flight planning and dispatch plans. This will ensure a seamless transition through the transition period leading to shut down of flight planning services and mygdc.com.
  • As with datalink customers, flight sentinel customers who wish to move to an alternate other than Foreflight can submit their flight plans to Honeywell for use by FlightSentinel and for recall from aircraft via datalink. (ArincDirect flight plans are not supported).
  • If there is a clear preference among FlightSentinel customers to switch to a particular flight planning and dispatch solution other than Foreflight, during the transition period, Honeywell will evaluate the need to develop deep integration with this preferred supplier. (Deep integration means said supplier must integrate APIs with Honeywell systems and flight plans will be reflected on Forge FlightSentinel systems without the need for express submittal of flight plans by the customer).
Forge Datalink customers
Forge Datalink services continue to be operational, and Honeywell will provide the same level of support through our customer support and sales teams.
Forge Flight Sentinel customers
As more Flight Sentinel customers choose to transition to Foreflight dispatch, our Flight Sentinel team will be available to support the transition to Foreflight dispatch and help you become familiar with the new system. You can reach us through calls on Flight Sentinel support (888-634-3330 / 602-365-7020) support or email FlightSentinel@honeywell.com.
Flight Planning and FlightBagPro customers
As customers transition to alternative solutions, customer support teams will help customers through the transition or email: FlightServices@honeywell.com through calls on Forge Flight Services support (888-634-3330 / 602-365-7020).

We appreciate your understanding and are ready to support you through this period. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to your Sales Manager or contact our support team. We are here to ensure a smooth transition and to help you find the best solutions for your needs.
