    I agree. In my case, having the solo endorsement was a requirement as I was flying to the DPE's airport for the checkride. Also, I needed a Class B endorsement since the airport was on the other side of the Bravo. That came in handy when I mentioned I was clear into the Bravo and the DPE went...

    That's because SWA systems are from the early 90s, before CrowdStrike was created. ;)

    How do perform short field landings for practical test

    All my short field landings during check rides were pretty firm. I didn't bounce and the dpes never said anything.

    New to avidyne navigators, how do you use yours?

    Entering a fix in the flight plan page is very easy. An on-screen keyboard will come up and the unit will autocomplete the fix as you type. Pretty neat. Also, you can enter victor airways. 430s don’t have that feature.

    New to avidyne navigators, how do you use yours?

    No. I just use FF and link it to the unit via WiFi.

    New to avidyne navigators, how do you use yours?

    I came from 430s to Avydine 440/540. My initial reaction was they were more complex, but after a short while, I saw they were much better than the 430s. No need for the wireless keyboard IMHO.

    Before you spend money on a new iPad, see if you have the same issue with another Stratus unit, or a Stratux or Sentry.

    Dan Gryder Lockheed Electra Crash

    If you look closely in the video, right after the plane starts swerving to the left, you can see the right wheel throw some mud/debris up. That looks like someone locked the right brake, so it seemed to be working. Or maybe I'm seeing things... :)

    Altitude Directives in VFR Flight Following

    I had one time where I asked to cancel FF and they told me they wanted to keep me until landing. I switched freqs but kept the code.

    What are Currently the Best EFB’s for IPad?

    I've used FltPlan Go for many years and I'm on my first year using FF. I'd say FF has some nice features, especially the weather briefing/planning, something that sucks on Fly plan Go. It's better to have everything in the app instead of having to go to multiple sites and the app to plan a...

    High Altitude Flight test

    Manu years ago I did a skydive jump from 20,000 ft msl. We had oxygen above 12k and at 18500 I decided to take the mask off temporarily go are what it would feel. I started to feel like I had a few beers, but the most telling symptom was my vision slowing tunneling... I put the mask back and...

    Also, on my PPL check ride the wind was direct 10-knot crosswind... I passed because my cfi had me practice the day before with the same wind... Tons of xwind landings those 2 days.
