    172 Approach Speed

    Actually, not as much as you think. The "book" gives you various V speeds you should adhere to stay safe. They give you boundaries to operate within not hard and fast rules to apply. This is particularly true when it comes to landing: You need to KNOW HOW TO LAND and adapt to different speeds...

    How did Foreflight do it?

    I don’t think it got anything. I think it used your GPS location to display the last cached altimeter setting.

    I have been meaning to go Block Island, but more as a family fun destination.

    Commercial License - How Hard?

    Written is done. All my day stuff is done. My issue is access to a TAA and getting night current. Then I can concentrate on the maneuvers.

    Commercial License - How Hard?

    Mine said the same. He said on average probably around 10-15 hours before sign off.

    Where do East Coast pilots hang out?

    That’s not a bad one but Forum chat is a bit limited compared to a more dedicated chat channel like Discord or Slack etc.

    Where do East Coast pilots hang out?

    @RussR I hear you to a certain extent. But another way of looking at (particularly in 2022): We need an alternative to FB to organize. Hence, why I actually did something about it and started a Discord channel. Up to you, feel free to join. I just won’t do FB for a majority of different...

    Where do East Coast pilots hang out?

    The only catch for me - I know, I know - I won't do Facebook. I did reach out to that group but I am not interested in FB. Sorry, I just can't do it. I have an account but I am not active on that platform. PoA is great and I actively support it (look to your left). I did organize a Discord...

    Where do East Coast pilots hang out?

    I have been flying around for a while and rarely see folks outside of students/CFIs. In fact, I only meet a new pilot in my area when I’m refueling. That’s about it. Typically, the FBO is empty or there just isn’t a lot of activity there. Now, granted, I fly a lot during the week instead of the...

    Latest iOS on a 2nd iPad Air. It’s only this forum AFAICT.

    Garmin Pilot

    YouTube is your friend. There are loads of Garmin Pilot tutorials. I am a heavy user and it is a great application (on par with FF IMO - both are excellent). NOTE: You can draw on charts but I’m not sure you can draw on the SafeTaxi diagram.

    Part 2 - Modern Avionics and the Instrument Pilot - Part 2 Intercepting Final and the Missed

    All minimums being equal, why the heck would you ever fly an ILS over an LPV? LPV is less workload, more accurate, and achieves the same thing. What am I missing?

    Redbird Simulator for IFR hours

    You’re right! It’s Precision @coma24 I think I got confused with another simulator.
