    Did the FAA just shut down all flights without a flight plan?

    My head just exploded from reading it. I love the language that only crew members can be onboard. Can't wait to hear what this is really about.

    Another Drone Encounter

    From SF Chronicle. Drones at 700 ft? Scary. The best line, though, is "“If your level of aircraft experience is that you ordered something from Amazon, you ought to stay out of the federal air traffic system.”...

    iPad Pro for flight

    While i love the idea of the iPAD Pro, it's much too large for a C172. The Mini is perfect, though, and you can pick up a second one for about $200 this Christmas.

    The Great Monkey Race - volunteers needed

    Let's take this by steps and find people in CA, AZ and NM who can handle parts of the route. i'm hesitant to fly too far for something that is, well, a folly (although a fun folly). i'm in Modesto,CA, flying out of KTCY. i'm more than willing to pick up the monkey and fly south, but i'd prefer...

    What Laptop do you recommend? (For those of you on the road)

    LOL. i've owned both Win and Mac laptops over the years, but because i make a variety of presentations on the road, i stick with the MaC platform, which is currently the Mackbook Air. More expensive, yes. However, fast start up times, no bugs, and a great integration with my iPad and iPhone make...

    Google Wants All of Class G for Its Drones

    http://www.engadget.com/2015/11/02/google-project-wing-2017/ "Google's David Vos told the audience at an air traffic control covention that his company would want low-altitude space (14,500 feet and below), coincidentally dubbed "Class G," reserved for UAVs to fly over cities. Rather than...

    An Open Post To The Management Counsel

    +1 i've been to the SZ and find it mostly a place where idiots disregard the facts and repeat what they've learned on cable. I'd rather get along with all pilots here at POA. We have so much in common that i hate when some want to add politics into the mix. If i had my way, i'd remove SZ from POA.

    ForeFlight on sale! (discount itunes card Target)

    You won't even need to reinstall. Once it expires, you can just purchase it through iTunes.I'd prefer to buy early, but if waiting can save me money, i can do that. let's hear it for iTunes card discounts.

    ForeFlight on sale! (discount itunes card Target)

    i also go the discounted iTunes cards, which i usually pick up at christmas. However, i noticed that if i chose to renew FF before my expiration date, i couldn't use my iTunes money. FF wanted the money directly (no doubt because Apple doesn't take a cut). Once FF expired, i could renew through...

    Not

    +1 I continue to be perplexed why both parties can't just agree to rid ourselves of the electoral college, which is an artifact of much different times. If politicians are so fond of governing according to the constitution as it was originally written, then only white land owners would be...

    Not

    the problem with voting everyone out, or even term limits, is that the lobbyists and Super-PACS will still be there. Get rid of THEM and perhaps the two parties would actually start talking AND listening to each other.

    [A, sort of]California is desiccating![A, sort of]

    Foreflight Web Beta !

    Requested my invite back in March or April and am still waiting. Anything would be better than Skyvector, which is totally messed up now.

    That Landing Wasn't So Bad.

    After all, as my instructor used to say, the plane landed. http://www.engadget.com/2015/07/03/nasa-elt-safety-plane-crash/?ncid=rss_truncated

    Foreflight external GPS issue reportedly fixed

    Agreed. I almost started thinking about buying a Stratus 2, but my wallet stopped me. It was happy opening up for the Bose headsets, though, so go figure.

    IOS 8.3 Breaks the Dual 150 and Bad Elf

    While i had hoped IOS 8.4 would be released today, i found this post shortly after the Apple keynote: "Apple has announced Apple Music will arrive on June 30 with the arrival of iOS 8.4." So, June 30th seems to be the release date.
