    Garmin Pilot issues

    FMI on the ForeFlight Mobile implementation of the Stadium TFRs, see: http://blog.foreflight.com/2014/06/12/stadium-tfrs/ When I look in the LA area now I see a bunch of yellow upcoming TFRs (going active >24 hrs from now) both for events that qualify for the Stadium TFR, and well as a few...

    FS: Stratus 2

    As long as it puts out at least 2.1A (10W) ie: like an iPad charger. A 1A (5W) "iPhone" charger will not charge a Stratus 2.

    Comparison of ADS-B and XM weather

    It wasn't 1 minute old. It may have been received 1 minute ago, but it is well documented that the NEXRAD radar images transmitted by both XM and ADS-B take 5-10 minutes to produce (because they're made up of multiple scans at different angles into the atmosphere) and then have to be processed...

    Foreflight record function

    Yes. The only "trick" is that at the end of your current flight, the Stratus will still be recording. So you have to turn it OFF, then back ON, in order to see the track log for the most recent flight in More > Track Logs. Not a big deal if you take the Stratus home with you, but if you leave...

    Best bang for buck EFB?

    Good points on the couch-flying Mick. That's a great way to get to know the apps. If you like videos, you can also watch the extensive ForeFlight video library at http://www.foreflight.com/videos. Or if you're more of an RTFM kind of pilot, download the comprehensive Pilot's Guide...

    Best bang for buck EFB?

    By showing ads in the app. And selling other services targeted more at corporate/flight departments.

    What do you folks think about the Icon A5

    Forgive me for drifting this thread, but how would one get 6 people into a Renegade? 3-across bench seats? Every pic I've ever been able to find of a Renegade has 2 front, 2 back seats. Thanks, -Josh

    ForeFlight TFR Reporting, Warnings and the DC SFRA

    Hey gitmo234, It's not that the Stratus or ForeFlight modify the DC SFRA, it's that the ADS-B system also transmits the 60nm "ring" along with the 30nm SFRA as part of that "TFR". Here's a screenshot I took a while back on a flight out of VA using a Stratus. You can see the inner FRZ, the...

    Foreflight vs Wing x vs Garmin

    I guess it depends on your definition of "many": MOS Forecasts (TAF-style forecasts from over a thousand airports around the country); Procedure Advisor with SID/STAR/Approach added to route; Chart Touch sectional & IFR Low & High charts (tap to bring an individual chart forward, or view its...

    Suggestions for toddler headset?

    I used http://www.moggiesearmuffs.com for our then 6-month old, and they worked great. When we first put them on she was a little uncomfortable and kept trying to push them off. But as soon as I started the engine she found she liked having 'em on much better than off.

    IOS 8.3 on Ipad 2

    You are correct: the Stratus 1 & 2 are not affected by the iOS 8.3 Bluetooth GPS bug. The Stratus 1 & 2 use a WiFi connection.

    ADSB weather (stratus)

    Agreed that you shouldn't use ADS-B (or any data linked) radar for tactical CB avoidance, because it's not "real time" radar. But to dismiss radar & other in-flight weather via ADS-B out of hand is IMHO shortsighted. I find it to be a tremendously useful tool, especially if you're flying a...

    ADSB weather (stratus)

    It does not. FIS-B (weather data) is broadcast at the same rate regardless of whether there's an aircraft equipped with ADS-B out in the area activating the TIS-B (traffic data) from that tower. - Josh

    Mojave Fly in..?

    Last year I didn't see anything "official" from Virgin or Scaled, but Catbird was on display, along with a whole mess of neat planes across the spectrum from homebuilt to recent factory built. I drove in last year and am seriously contemplating flying-in this year instead.

    Sharing Foreflight FPs

    Dave there are a couple of options depending on what you mean by "flight plans." If by "flight plans" you mean you want to send the actual plan you filed, [edit for earlier mistake] you first have to display that plan's route on the Maps page, then send the route to your friend.[end edit]...

    1000 yards w/ 9mm

    At minimum it's a good reminder to make triple sure of your backstop before you go out to the fence line for some plinking, and to not eff around when you do. Granted he was holding really high above the target, but still he showed a 9mm can go 1000yds.
