    IOS 8.3 Breaks the Dual 150 and Bad Elf

    So, the obvious question for me is why ForeFlight can't/doesn't use an API to access the data from the GPS. If your app can do it, why can't FF?

    IOS 8.3 Breaks the Dual 150 and Bad Elf

    The Stratus is overkill for me, i am thinking about upgrading to the Dual 160A, which is $150. I'm a bit ticked off, though, since the Dual 150A is only a year old. Fortunately, i've two iPad minis for flying, one which i hadn't upgraded to 8.3. however, i'm hoping Apple will update to 8.31 soon.

    IOS 8.3 Breaks the Dual 150 and Bad Elf

    We ForeFlight folks got this message from FF today saying that IOS 8.3 causes a problem when delivering position information from the above two devices to FF. Strangely, FF shows that my Dual 150 is connected and the Dual app shows it's connected to the satellites. Not sure why this is apple's...

    CFIs---Does anyone still use kneeboards?

    While i primarily fly with my iPad mini mounted on the yolk, i use my trusty kneepad by Sporty's continually. Right side has a pad for frequencies and the left side has my checklists and airport printouts. yes, i know i could use the scratchpad on the mini but i don't find it convenient or quick...

    Foreflight Embraces Lockheed Martin (a DUATS Horror Story)

    On Wednesday, i took my longest flight since returning to flying after 42 years, flying from Tracy (KTCY) to Palm Springs (KPSP) for a conference. I'd prepared several different routes, depending on the weather and my last minute preferences and i listened to LiveATC for many hours to understand...

    Best way to lose altitude

    Spin. Talk about an elevator down! OK, in reality, i'd slow it down and slip.

    Flight Following & Fuel Stops

    In 10 days, i'm hoping, weather permitting, to fly from Tracy (TCY) to Palm Springs (PSP) for a conference. While the entire flight should last around 3:40 and i have sufficient fuel for much longer, i plan to stop for fuel around Bakersfield (L45), which is about two hours south. I plan to...

    Bryan vs Brian

    I always assumed that your parents didn't know how to spell. When i was growing up (in the last millennium), i was only one of two "Brian"s in my school class (size=500) and while i've know a few "Bryan"s over the years, the majority of the students bearing my name, which increased in numbers...

    Whats the deal with net neutrality?

    You have absolutely drunk the Kool Aid. Net Neutrality has been called for by the masses and by companies that were extorted by the big communications companies. Rather than the government taking control and limiting your choices, remember OUR government INVENTED the Internet. Neutrality is...

    I wish there was a co-ownership forum

    The bad news about wingshare is that it looks like it's been dead for five years. Take a look at the dates of the listings and you'll see that the most recent entries are from 2010. Too bad, too. This site would be a great resource for those of us looking for partnerships.

    Logistics of Exiting the LAX SFRA Northbound

    Since the Coliseum Route passes by John Wayne, why not intercept that route? (i have a similar question too). My only concern is that the route north calls for 8,500 which means you'll be climbing up to it.

    Kids reading assignments / Common core

    I have good news and bad news. First, your kids are going to be just fine because you're deeply involved in their learning and you'll find that, with your help, they'll progress properly, if not ahead of their peers. The bad news is that Texas is not a Common Core state, so what you're seeing...
