    ForeFlight 6.2 hosed?

    Did you delete the old app before installing? If so, then I'm afraid that the data is gone. If you didn't delete the old app, contact team@foreflight.com and they may be able to help.

    ForeFlight just updated the Stadium TFR display to add additional locations and show actual game/event schedules. Just like "regular" TFRs, Stadium TFRs more than 24 hours in the future are shown in yellow, Stadium TFRs within 24 hours are shown in red...

    Foreflight ....No Fix?

    Wat? You're talking a minimum of $750 more than a Bluetooth-only GPS to get a wireless AHRS + ADS-B In for ForeFlight. And $950 more than a Bluetooth-only GPS to get that for Wing X. Bad Elf Pro: Bluetooth GPS, works with all apps: $149 Stratus 2: Dual-band ADS-B + AHRS, ForeFlight only...

    Foreflight showing stadium TFRs

    Before today, the Stadium TFR locations have been available in ForeFlight while using a Stratus in-flight, assuming you were displaying the TFR layer on the Maps page. And yes, those locations were all shown as "always on" (ie: red). Now the Stadium TFR locations are also shown while you're...

    How does Foreflight work?

    As part of gaining QICP certification back when it existed, ForeFlight had to build the systems to log and retain briefings. QICP is gone, but ForeFlight kept the logging - so even if you haven't entered DUATS credentials into the app, ForeFlight will keep a record of your briefings. You...

    FS: (Package) IceBox Portable Air Conditioner -- Pictures

    I was trying to figure out how much the equipped system would weigh, ready to cool. From your website it looks like the cooler is 10 pounds empty, + 35 pounds ice + 1 gallon (6 pounds?) of water = 51 pounds total. With the gel packs instead of ice: cooler 10 pounds + (2 pounds/pack * 10...

    Foreflight map updates

    Data that you view "online" but don't download (ie: Sectionals in states that you haven't chosen to download) is cached so you can view it later while offline. In the case of Maps, it's only saved for the exact area & zoom level you view, while states you select to download are saved at all zoom...

    Pireps on trip to Outer Banks- FFA, MQI & W95?

    I've been to Ocracoke (W95) several times and I've really enjoyed it. Super laid-back place. I think you can call Howard's Pub for a pick-up from the airport. Or it's a pretty short walk towards town. I took folding bikes once and rented a golf cart another. Last time we stayed at...

    Stratus or Sirius?

    Something else to consider its that the 396 feature set will never change. While ForeFlight (with the Stratus) will likely continue to evolve and bring out new features.

    Flying with a four month old tomorrow.

    We bought Moggies for my daughter http://www.moggiesearmuffs.com/ and they have worked great. We took her on her first GA flight at about 6 months (a long XC in a 182RG) and she has been up several times since then. She was a little startled when we put the moggies on at first, but as soon as...

    generally speaking...will life insurance policies cover private pilots?

    In my experience, "it depends," so ask the agent to check beforehand. I was shopping for term insurance in late 2013 and my long-time agent overlooked the fact that Northwestern Mutual, from whom I had bought policies in the past, had in early summer 2013 dramatically increased their minimum...

    Need Advice about KAMA, Amarillo

    A couple of years ago my buddy and I skipped KAMA and flew into KTDW for an overnight. At the time fuel was a lot cheaper than KAMA, and it looks like it still is: as of 1/10/14 100LL is 5.78 at KTDW vs. 6.55 at KAMA. If memory serves one of the nearby hotels had a 24-hour shuttle (I believe...

    Got ramp checked today

    Glad it wasn't painful. Were you at a little "GA" airport, or a bigger one? Were the check-ers from FAA, other TLA's, or ??

    Renter's Insurance - AOPA? Other? Experiences?

    I dropped AVEMCO when they scr**ed over my previous flying club on the club's insurance rates/rules, so I switched to AOPA's renter's insurance and have been a happy customer since then.

    Buying into a club

    When I joined my first club (a "market price" club) I was so excited to join I paid the first guy I talked to his asking price. I do not recommend this approach ;-) The club was great and I definitely got my money's worth out of being in the club, but when I sold my share I only got about 70%...
