RussR's latest activity

Ever since seeing Foreflight at their booth at Oshkosh 2010. What a game-changer. I wanted nothing to do with paper after that point...

The turn limit is 90 deg for RNAV approaches. For ILS/VOR approaches, it's up to 120 deg, depending on the length of the intermediate...

@ayryq , thank you. This will actually change the way I use the two-finger ruler. The difference in measurements, of course, is trivial...

I thought there already was a WINGS path, something like signing off 15 activities and doing a phase yourself, although I almost never...

That's the most significant problem, in my opinion, in the way that the WINGS program is marketed. Yes, completion of a phase counts as...
