    New Graphics in Foreflight?

    I wondered about that too. I did check my Kansas City terminal chart, and didn’t see anything quite like this, but didn’t have a St. Louis version to check against.

    New Graphics in Foreflight?

    Or maybe I just haven’t noticed. In the St. Louis area I’m seeing graphical representations of some of the VFR checkpoints, like the ones here for Busch Stadium and Gateway Arch: Kinda cool. But when I change “Map Touch Action” to Bring Chart to Front, they disappear. I don’t see them on...

    It's been too long.

    Track up. I re-orient paper charts to follow the track, too.

    Uranus stinks.

    A little disturbing at the end of the article to see that they’re sending a probe.

    Mongo is Dead

    I found a set of Funk & Wagnall’s at a resale shop a few weeks ago. Wondered if it might not be fun to have that on the bookcase at work as a conversation piece...the irony of telling somebody to Google it...

    Warning for younger aggressive drivers...

    +1 on putting down the phone. I got behind a box truck last week at a red light. He can barely move when the light turns green because...I swear... he’s turning left, and shifting up, and talking on the phone all at the same time.

    How old is/was your CFI?

    At some point, everybody’s younger than you are ;) My two primary instructors were approximately in their 40s, but I had some good work with a guy who was still in college and I appreciated that opportunity. Age ain’t everything.

    When does it click?

    People have given a lot of advice, and it’s all good. I’ll just add, that this is all very new and being discouraged is natural. More than that, the “good days” and “bad days” are going to be a part of the rest of your journey. Relax, soak it up. Smile on the good days. Self-assess on the...

    Cfi finally home

    If your goal is to finish by midsummer, you have to fly more. You may get through pre-solo and even into your cross-country time this way, but when you start really ratcheting down your skills to meet ACS standards there’s no replacement for stick time with somebody in the right seat who will...

    [NA] Man laughs off aviation minimorts [NA]

    Either way, his career opportunities are limited. Park ranger, scuba diver, lion tamer are all out the window...and I sure wouldn’t fly with him...

    NBAA/EAA/AOPA req to help

    I got the email from EAA and used their link. Adding privatization back in without the opportunity for public comment is a reprehensible tactic. I wish I could say I’m surprised.

    Over hard. With extra bacon.

    ForeFlight 10 announced

    One of the things I like about @denverpilot is that he’s a techie with a soul and a sense of humor :) I’ve been in the business many years, gone from tech to exec, and I can tell you that’s a rare combination of qualities. Wherever we’ve deployed an iPad as an “enterprise need” for a business...

    Flying commercial to Airventure 2018

    I get a proper room for the same reason. We’ve driven every year so haven’t tried the buses or shuttles. Green Bay has been our go-to for lodging the last 2 years. It’s not a bad drive south to Oshkosh. We’ve also stayed as far south as West Bend, which is a quick hop from Milwaukee. Nice...
