    Warmi, that is me. How are you? I was flying out of Morris with the Evektor but the CFI wasn’t able to work with my schedule. I have been flying out of Mt. Vernon since May 2018.

    Got it. Get CFI signatures. Monitor and close out VFR flight plans. If it doesn’t feel right, Go-arounds are encouraged. and most importantly, have fun.

    Ok. I had purchased FlyQ two days ago in anticipation to the cross country flight, but I think it will be good practice with the nav log and sectional. Thank you Salty.

    Best program?

    Great suggestions guys, thanks. I will use the FlyQ which I already have and will download free trial of ForeFlight and use that too. I have two flights (Sat / Sun) this weekend, so I’ll be able to test them out.

    Best program?

    Best program?

    Fellow pilots, I am trying to decide which program to go with for my iPad, the FlyQ EFB or the ForeFlight. I have heard good things about both, but ForeFlight seems to be more prevalent. Is ForeFlight the way to go? Thank you.
