@flyingcheesehead I know Performance Plus isn’t necessary but I just love how precise and fast it is and the detailed navlog it makes under flights for hypothetical or actual. There isn’t a reason for anyone to neglect themselves from the extra capability. I love to use all the available tools...

SP-400 hasn’t let me down yet. I haven’t tried any others though.

lol, if Foreflight gave me a free subscription for life I’d happily rename my dog Foreflight and run up and down the floors of every FBO in FL naked whilst waving flags that say Foreflight on them. $300 a year is no joke. :p:confused:

OMG. YES. This is great. Who cares about remote locations. This means when departing non towered airfields we don’t have deal with BS. And it’s all written down right there in front of you.

You are doing the ILS 9 into KBKV. At your DA, how high are you above Mother Earth?

Whatever Foreflight recommends. It has aircraft performance values built in. It factors in quite a bit. It will usually become apparent why it chose what altitude for you.

If you clean it; then how will you keep the pointy end forward, the dirty side down, and stay out of the trees?

So a KAP140 sounds like. I think it’s strange that the CFII wants to dive in with many hours of XC time. I would make sure he isn’t milking you for time. My only cross country that lasted over 3 hours was for the long XC requirement. And near the end of my training where I really had everything...

It's just the best feeling supervising the Autopilot do a FLC climb to an assigned altitude whilst also commanding a turn to a given heading. It's so capable, I love it!

I have no problem finding G1000 aircraft, they usually only have the KAP 140 though. My only option so far seems to be the expensive Cirrus that are equipped with the GFC700; but those drain my wallet. That's really not practical for me. Does anyone know a C172 or C182 that has a GFC700 near...

Oh, no, it's just I really have a wonderful time with Foreflight on XC's. Like the route advisor; usually gives you a really great idea of how ATC will try to clear you. I was going to say you can just plan out each leg and then figure out how you want to phrase the requests for the O2 concern...

Do you have Foreflight?

Go get a G1000 and listen to XM radio while you fly. Problem solved.

“Clear Prop” That sounds like a command from a crew member. If you didn’t comply and got torn up then you weren’t complying with a crew member instruction or command. When I announce “Clear Prop” I look around the entire aircraft as best I can including behind if I can. I tend to wait around 3...

I personally like to set one notch of flaps and retract after takeoff while passing a good altitude and speed. Usually that means passing 400 - 600 ft and 5-10 knots over my chosen VY or VX

I’m out of Tampa area. I think it would be better to get some instruction first and then burn down some time with a safety pilot.

Also @CC268 I know you and I will both be checking this periodically. Can’t wait to see it on plastic. https://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/airmen_certification/ Did your DPE let you keep your invalidated old plastic cert?

I got mine done this 12th. I was told never to add any information to your answer. Example: What color is the sky? Blue. Not blue but there’s a cloud out there. Not the molecules of gases scatter the blue colors of sunlight much more effectively than the green and red colors. Therefore, a...

What do you expect to accomplish with a safety pilot ATM. Are you Steam or G1000?
