I've heard of that and it sounds like a hassle. I connect my android phone with aviator assistant efb and ipad running flyQ and all of my buddies that fly with my connect to the stratux with foreflight all simultaneously and no hiccups or messing with different apps and settings.

I have flyQ right in front of me and you can add STAR and SID way points to the flight plan. But not load instrument approach fixes.

I use a stratux. I built one, used it without any issues but lost it. During the pandemic, it was near impossible to get a raspberry pi board to build another one and so I bought a commercially built one. A few years now, no issues and various EFBs; Foreflight, FlyQ, iFly, Android, iOS.

Just seconding that a high single engine service ceiling seems unnecessary if you're likely not cruising very high in the first place for sight seeing or short flights. If you go high, you can drift down slowly back towards shore/away from mountain peaks and maintain well above pattern altitude.

Went to Embassair last Saturday, at KOPF. Chose not to stay the night because of weather coming in Sunday, but they told me it would have added $120 to stay the night. Really nice facility, but it should be because it is new to the field. Easy to navigate to and from. If you are in and out in...

I would keep working at your current job, perhaps reduced working hours and remote if able. Two of my flight instructors in the last year were working part-time remotely for the jobs they were leaving behind, in between students at the airport. Rainy days, you can catch up. I plan to do just...

First time coming in to OPF, ATC had me descend to 2,000' halfway across the swamp, then a SID the next day straight out over the water into some convective activity, freq so busy I couldn't get a word in to ask for deviations until the last second. This time I'll try departing VFR and picking...

I'm flying into KOPF on Saturday. Staying a night and leaving the next day. The last time I went, it was a couple of unwaivable fees that weren't mentioned over the phone.

Very interesting, and a great point. Thanks for taking the time to explain a real use case difference. That's a nice long flight. I checked it myself, I first put it in the search box right on the maps page "KTTA KSSI" then hit enter. It creates a direct flight plan. Then I did it the way you...

I don't doubt foreflight may have more advanced IFR flight planning tools but I'm genuinely curious what IFR flight planning features you think are lacking. What appealed to me when I was trying out both was that I didn't have to pay extra for geo-referenced approach plates and airport diagrams...

Wrapped up the tailwheel endorsement today, it was a challenge and also enjoyable. I'm training now for CFI initial and it was humbling and valuable to me to put myself back into the student mindset of learning something new and even a mini solo experience. Keep up the training OP, you may train...

Good suggestions, I'll be buying one this weekend for sure. A pilot friend bought a battery powered CO sensor earlier this week. First flight with it, yesterday. During climb we hear a slight change in the engine noise. No abrupt performance, except I noted after leveling off that 1 CHT was...

Train in your plane, the FAA CFII can give you the HP and complex endorsement during the training. Train IFR with your plane with what you have and rent to get experience with other avionics and/or checkride if needed. It may shape what you really want and need in your own plane down the line.

I'm currently getting my tailwheel endorsement as well. My instructor is also going with teaching wheel landings first. Each has been at least 10 landings. I did better my first lesson but on the second lesson I had the exact same problem as you. Bouncing, too fast, or two much sink, one time...

I locked in a lifetime subscription to FlyQ 5 years ago. I had foreflight for a few years at that point. Tried out FlyQ concurrently with Foreflight on iPad and couple others on android. FlyQ seemed the best for me at the time and still remains my go to because I know it the best. I think that...

They were responded with a couple days to a question I put to them when I was on the free trial period. I had issues with adding aircraft profiles and they updated the app within days.

I've been test driving this one on my Android. It is competitive with the other EFBs for android.

My CFI for commercial was a new CFI. Pro: the maneuvers and oral exam prep required were fresh in memory and she did a good job teaching me those. Con: I was her first commercial student and she missed a couple endorsements for the checkride. My DPE, thankfully, was patient enough to wait for...

That's a good point. I've only been burned once but that was on a motorcycle forum.

To the OP, register to all of the aviation forums you can think of and check the classifieds. Used ANR headsets pop up from time to time. I bought a used Lightspeed here a few years ago and then resold it here a while later. Make friends at the airport. I bought a used Bose A20 from a CFI buddy.
