    What do you do when you're iPad battery goes dead

    No I meant VFR. Foreflight isnt a primary source of navigation for IFR and it's not panel mounted :P

    What do you do when you're iPad battery goes dead

    All of you are wrong. The correct answer is to plug in the portable power bank or pull out your back-up/Iphone Fore-flight is certified.

    How to land a 737 (Nervous Passenger Edition)

    :) When I was 12 I always thought if something happened I could get the plane down safely. It may not have been such a crazy thought actually. As previously mentioned. Someone with just video game time can land an airliner. Flight Simulator X has it pretty nailed down, it's just not realistic...

    Fatal in Houston ARCOLA

    "...student in the co-pilot seat..." No way, I hate how they make up the news. I find it impossible by the way that the airplane ended up in that position from an assumed take-off.

    Area 51 question

    Has anyone gone on fore-flight and switched to maps mode while looking at AR51? Someone labeled all the buildings in small text. Like "Mess-hall" ect.

    Complex checkout with Simulator and AGI?

    Can a legal complex endorsement be made with a Simulator and an AGI? I was approached with the idea by a recently minted AGI. He pointed at some FARs said the complex only requires ground training and there is no actual flight time required other than an FAA approved simulator representative...

    Stopping the bleeding

    Oh yea, I trained out of an uncontrolled airport. My instructor(s) never actually *taught* me ATC communucations. Every time we would fly my instructor would take care of communications, even when I would want to go at it, I would always re-ask a minimum of two times exactly what to say. Prior...

    Flying from the right seat as a Private Pilot.

    I'd like to try flying from the right seat. I just read the left handed thread and (me being a lefty) it made me want to try it. Is there anything I should now or be prepared for? Is it best to go up with a safety pilot just in case the landings don't feel right?

    Hyte - The Uber of the air.

    All of you are right. A kid from high school. I found this after some digging in the site: "Hyte was an idea originally seeded when JB Adkins was in his senior year of high school. JB had recently earned his pilot’s license and was brainstorming creative ways to build flight time and...

    I dont even know what to say..

    Here are my views, yes he was not legal. I'm going to trust however that he had lots of experience and knowledge of the local area. Behind one of those clouds could have been a mountain. I won't talk about him scaring his daughter because obviously I don't know anything about their personal...

    Funnest Thing To Do With/In an Airplane...

    Oh and don't say fly it...... :rolleyes2: I thought of, dropping glow-sticks at night attached to those small parachutes that come with those army men toys! (Over an FBO parking lot or my home or maybe the beach with several friends there?) What is something awesome you can think of...

    Another nail in the coffin....

    I think the photo is not on the certificate because there is no expiration date on them. So it would look weird with a 40 year old and a photo of a 20 year old on the plastic. Also, I think they are anticipating the fact, that, soon medicals won't expire after the initial. So they are making...

    Student Pilot Certificates

    Aw Awwwwww When I was a student pilot I craved the magical blue card that is now in my wallet. Not fair! Now every student gets bragging rights and gets to feel like hot stuff. And..... You know....... trick people into giving them GOV discounts. Anyway. Make the card a different color...

    I think you do that to prevent cross-feed when doing, say, steep turns?
