Another viewpoint - paper to learn the fundamentals. Open a paper chart on the table and work thru all the symbols and flight planning in comfortable setting. I always have a (somewhat) current paper chart with me to avoid single point of failure in the air. Understanding the fundamentals means...

You need to join Colorado Pilots….coloradopilots.org

Size 4.5 x 2 x 1 in Weight 0.25 lbs Enclosure Aluminum Hm....awful lot like a stratus but the connectivity is another issue. I wonder what the positioning requirements are compared to a portable AHRS.

Rats, you're right. 850 AM.

Didn't learn about NDB? Just tune to your local AM station and practice. Of course that assumes you've got an ADF in the airplane. I keep my ADF so I can listen to the ball games. Plus once I get near the KOA tower (630 on your AM dial) I can probably see the approach to rwy 28 at KAPA. Park the...

Which means someone, somewhere, will put together a package for a tablet. Same idea as the stratus software with a couple SDRs for a Rasperry Pi.

I recognize that disk drive! I have a platter I show in my intro to computer science class. Also have mag tapes, too. Tossed allthe punch cards years ago.

I'd like to go back and concentrate on computers that still used core memory and punch cards and took up an entire room just for the mainframe and you had to boot the system by setting switches on the panel, but the technology has advanced and so has the world. I'm definitely not the target...

Update….I could start home after lunch….. decision Thursday night.

There's a flyin this weekend, one I've been looking forward too, only an hour's flight. But the late afternoon return means rain, wind and possible tstorms. I don't have weather radar but the iPad with ForeFlight and GarminPilot are pretty good indicators. I'll either be driving or not going...

What's left other than Antarctica or the Moon?

That gross, oversimplification is definitely unfair to both the Part 61 people and to the student.

Doesn't matter if it was only the 2 of you...it's the weight in front and you really should do a W&B.

yep, I got the similar setup with G5 as AI and the old style ASI.

That's a 152.

Let me be very candid he was flying a 152 and following I-70 over Loveland Pass. He was stupid. Incredibly stupid. As per the ADSB track, over Breck he was over 13K. I will buy a beer for every member of POA if anyone can take a 152 up there, in Colorado, on a July summer day. I've taken my 180...

Publicly available data.

The wheels of Congress move sloooowly....here's an excerpt from a 2019 discussion in Civil Air Patrol (which flys 3 versions of DJI drones) "Legislation currently pending before the U.S. Congress would ban the use of Chinese produced sUAS for federal entities, and concurrently ban the...

Archival paper. I've got floppy disks from the late 80s - less than 15% are readable. All technologies change. NASA/JPL has thousands of tapes that are unreadable because there are no parts to repair the tape drives. But all my written college notes that are even older - still readable, still...

For me, anything east of Kansa City, MO is too far east.
