Nope. I'm in the middle of nowhere right now without access to my tablet but I'll try to post a screenshot when I get back. The zoomed in FF8 map view shows geo referenced taxiways and runways but not nearly as good as a proper airport diagram. Maybe my phone actually attached them... Looks...

I've only briefly played with it and it would be helpful but it's not as good actual airport diagrams. Would I rely on it? No, but it is useful for knowing where your are. I would keep a regular diagram around just because.

It's not as good as actual airport diagrams but it does have the runways and taxiways marked. Like I said, FF bundles things in a stupid way. I shouldn't have to do this silly workaround to have geo referenced airport diagrams. That should be included in a VFR package. Why do I have to buy geo...

That's what I do but my point was it's silly the way they "group" or bundle things like a cable company.

This is my biggest gripe with FF. Why do I have to pay for synthetic vision, predominately an IFR issue, to get geo referenced airport diagrams? I'm a VFR student pilot, not going to use the logbook because I don't want to be stuck on someone's ecosystem. Let me buy a VFR subscription with...

I shouldn't have quoted your post as yours wasn't really that bad. But a lot of the people making posts in this thread don't seem to understand that the vector charts aren't replacing the VFR sectionals. At least not for the foreseeable future. There were a number of posts that sounded like the...

I've seen a lot of posts like this in this thread... Not trying to pick on Ralph in particular but you guys sound like a mouse from the who moved my cheese book. "OMG, they added a different map option. Waaaahhhh the sky is falling!!11one!eleven!" Here's a big giant secret: THE VFR CHARTS ARE...

You can still use the regular charts. They just added a feature. Maybe not the feature you wanted but for me vector maps are a huge upgrade.

I posted in the Student Pilot thread but figured I'd give an update here as well. I scored a 93%. It's not much different from any of the practice exams I took. Mainly changed the numbers or some other detail to make sure you actually new how to do the math or solve the problem. As long as...

I did the written a couple weeks ago. If you've used any of the test prep from the PTS era then you'll do fine... The ACS test was really no different. You couldn't memorize answers as they changed numbers or airports or routes but the types of questions were identical. So if you can actually...

I want to like this post but feel that it will be misinterpreted because of the vagina effect. What do I do? The post is funny as are most of yours... For the record, I'm at 34%

My lesson today was definitely unconventional: My wife wanted to go up with my instructor and I to see what it was all about. She has been in small planes before but wanted to meet my instructor. So we went out to preflight and as we're walking up I see a puddle under the right wheel. I asked...

The TBM registered to Family Extended Care of Punta Gorda Inc according to Flight Aware. I assume he is flying around their management to different business functions.

I'm only a student pilot but I knew I was in love with flying and with all the great reviews I went ahead and ordered Halos before I even started training (I had taken some discovery flights) and I am in LOVE. I wear ear plugs most days at work, industrial machinery all around me, so I knew the...

Just finished my pre solo check and it went well. Started with some preflight quizzing on airspace, solo regulations, emergency procedures, and weight and balance. Then we went to fly. I made a minor mistake on the run-up in that I didn't quite get clear of the taxiway and someone doing taxi...

I used to own the following before a tragic incident involving a buoyant vessel and water: Glock 17 Glock 27 S&W 642 Ruger 10/22 .22 mini pistol. -I forget the make/model because I don't shoot it. It only holds two .22LR cartridges and fits in the palm of my hand. AR-15 And my all time...

I use a Yeti 20oz insulated travel cup. Got it for free from work as a reward program. Love that cup. Keeps my coffee hot all morning.

Just wanted to provide an update for anyone else that might be looking. The Clarity Aloft case works great. Hard sides so a little additional protection, has a handle, and best of all it fits the Halos great.

So at the end of my last post I mentioned I'd be doing a pre solo check. Well weather cancelled that lesson so my Instructor and I started on short and soft field takeoffs and landings. And I sucked at both landing techniques. Mainly just kept struggling with the flare and on soft field I...

Might have to do that with WingX. I have ForeFlight downloaded but trying not to do too much with it until we do some XC work at my lessons. What I may do when we do our first XC is to redo it on ForeFlight and WingX for a bit of fun. YES! I'm a season ticket member for the Tampa Bay...
