    Much like PCs, the advancement in hardware has made for some very lazy coders.

    Best performing Android tablet for Garmin Pilot

    I had 14 years worth when I made the switch. Since I had an Excel log that I kept from Day 1, it was real easy to upload the data. You could make a single-line "carry-over" entry that sums up your total experience all with one entry. Funny thing is, there was an update applied today that...

    Best performing Android tablet for Garmin Pilot

    I do have extensive experience with GP on an ipad (about seven months) and about the only thing I have really noticed that the Android version does better is having zoom buttons on the map page. The apple method of only allowing pinching for zoom does not work very well in the bumps. They...

    Crash at KCHD Nov 6 2020

    I inherited one student who had eleven touch-n-go landings on his fifth flight with his first instructor. After that flight he had 25 landings logged but could not climb Vy without staring at the ASI nor find level pitch without chasing the altimeter. He had zero concept of basic VFR attitude...

    The two that come to mind immediately that have never worked (over four different tablets in six years) are: - Downloads. I can have over 100 updates available but hitting the "Update All" button only results in "Your are currently up to date". I end up having to go into every category...

    Black exhaust soot??

    One of these samples is contaminated with jet fuel. It came from the truck like that. Were I not religious about seeing, smelling, and feeling the fuel each time I sample it, I may have missed the contamination of this fuel. I made them drain all 52 gallons and replace it with new fuel from a...

    Best performing Android tablet for Garmin Pilot

    Garmin refuses to fix multiple several-year-old issues in the Android version but continually rolls out enhancements for the apple verson while answering bug reports with "I will pass it along". Meanwhile they still have the audacity to charge the same for both versions. Pretty much ready to...

    ATC Proposed - same route

    Interesting place, GFK... The only times I have been there have been in a Malibu on IFR flight plans. Once during a CAVU weekday. Was like a beehive with all the green and white airplanes buzzing around there.

    Flight following - not sure why I didn't use it before

    I know a several pilots who were trained at untowered fields and their ONLY interaction with ATC was during their "three takeoffs and three landings to a full stop at an airport with an operating control tower" solo cross-country flight where they had to talk to the tower. Some CFIs do not seem...

    Western ND: Piper Pacer - 1 Fatality

    It was not building fast (this was after about 30 min at 65mph) and this is not a real good picture, but you can see that sub-VFR conditions notwithstanding, it was not a good day to be in anything less than a FIKI aircraft.
