If you want to spring for the download, I'll commit to at least posting the data as is as a Google spreadsheet, maybe a waypoint file, and who knows what else. I know enough scripting and web coding to be able to cobble up something. I won't commit to building a front-end to add new anytime...

Clearly like to roll your own. :-) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

Famous not-so-last words. :-) My question as a PPL who likes to take friends for rides, is how do I claim Goodwill on my 1040 and should I be paying estimated taxes on it? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

As a recent Mini 4 buyer (refurb - my first iPad) and recent all-the-EFBs-30-day-trialer, I think I'll hold off on the update, but will stay tuned in here to see how it shakes out. Thanks to the brave explorers.

"When keeping it reel goes wrong." I'm sure all of us know that sinking "Oh sh.....!" feeling in the gut - even if not that expensive a result. In my younger, dumber, more city-boy-just-moved-to-nowhere years, I once tried pulling my Suburban up a small knoll (wet grass, 2- wheel drive, had no...

I thought it was "No retreat, baby, no surrender." </me his reveals age>

Just got an iPad and trial of ForeFlight yesterday and was testing it out with X-Plane after the kids were in bed. As I taxied out at OSH, the iPad bleated that notice. My wife glared at me with the implicit warning, "They wake up, they're yours!" Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

Stop me if you've heard this one. A doctor, a lawyer, and a priest are playing golf . . .

That's who I thought the CFI's voice sounded like and the calm, familiar voice of Dr. Hawkeye Pierce would be comforting to me. But I'm often told me 'sounds like'/'looks like' impressions are way off, so *shrug* If you have to explain the joke, it wasn't very good. I'll try again later.

*claps*Great job, pilot. She's probably too young to know any better, but I'd have been comforted to hear Alan Alda talking me in.

I'm not Terry, but am from the area - at ENW now, but grew up near 06C, spent a lot of time bored on farms/hunting just north of DPA, and used to work out in Aurora (non-aviation). It's always cool to see locals putting out cool content. Back in '04-'07 I put out a few podcasts, but I wasn't on...

I was confused by the Pacific being on the right. Track-up hurts my brain.

At my last job I had to monitor a scanner for EMS calls to our property. Nearby, I heard of a helicopter going down behind a treeline. 10 minutes or so later, the responding officer reported to the dispatcher that he found no wreckage, but did find someone loading an RC chopper into a van.

Congrats! As a recerntly-signed off pilot with 11 years of rust (my first solo was 15 years ago in October), I know how great it feels to be back. Did you get your PPL before your lay-off or are you still working on it? And yeah, ForeFlight was just a babe when I last flew, and just about...

"This engine is very thorough." LOL

I trained in PA-28-161 then moved to a Cessna club. Checked out in the 172 first, and other than ground effect and view, found it to be pretty similar. A few months later, I checking out in the 152 (after someone else burned off half the gas so we were within weight). Once I kicked the CFI out...

"That's not what I meant by a 'greaser.'"

I feel like I post this every day or day and a half, but I don't think it can be overstated: Avare, FltPlan Go, I'm pretty sure ForeFlight, and possibly others can be used with flight simulators like X-Plane (and Avare at least has its own 'simulator' mode). I've gotten a TON of practice...

My first landing with PAX - my wife and father - on my fresh ticket, I was at an unfamiliar airport in an unfamiliar plane (same type I trained in, but newer and 'different' enough) doing a not-commonly-done-in-my-training right-hand pattern. I ended up about a mile high on final. I threw in a...
