Exactly what I do. As soon as the rest of the aviation world abandons paper, I'm happy to follow suit. It's the endorsements that make me need the paper.

You may want to challenge the thinking there - if you need input from users, then you may want to use a free web tool (e.g., google forms). If it's only to share information, then just about everything can 'save as pdf' these days for free.

http://abc7ny.com/1-dead-after-small-plane-crashes-in-orange-county/3432578/ I flew nearby about 2 hours later (had no idea this happened) - observed wx was hazy, warm, and low surface wind - albeit light chop at 5k feet. While I don't know exactly where the crash site is, Middletown (06N)...

Or at least support another OS ... this is the only thing keeping me on Apple

I've got one of those too :-)

Thanks @Ken Ibold - I would ideally like a Cessna 182, but don't think it will rent much, so will probably just get a 172 - which is in high demand. New Jersey area - Caldwell airport (KCDW). Good point about the hours - the reality is that I really don't know how much it will get rented. There...

50-70 tops probably - that's what I was thinking

*blowing the dust off this thread* Thanks everyone. My issue is my time - I have none of it, but am ok financially. With that, I will not be a "good" partner because I won't spend 5 minutes cleaning it, organizing maintenance, ensuring things are current, etc. - except what I need to do as part...

Our President has been challenging for local flight schools, to understate

In case it happens to anyone else, here's how I fixed it: With the power on, on the GPS, slide the switch to the other position, wait three seconds, slide the switch back to apple (XGPS150 only) Power off the XGPS On iPad, go into Settings > Privacy > Location Services, Turn off location...

Looking for tax and legal advice before I purchase and enter a leaseback arrangement. Yes, I have read the many helpful posts on this site - awesome by the way! Can anyone recommend a CPA and Attorney familiar with GA leasebacks? Ideally in NJ /NYC area, but not required. PM fine. Many thanks

Has anyone else seen this behavior? The XGPS150A can see as many as 11 satellites, but it cannot locate a fix (cannot establish a location). I've been using it for 2 years with my iPad (running ForeFlight), but suddenly this weekend no bueno. I've tried updating the firmware, power-cycling both...

Two related questions: 1) Will ForeFlight ever be ported to Android? 2) WIll Apple kill the mini?

I would not fail to do _anything_, but I'm sure I would fail to do _everything_, yes. I feel sure that faced with a true emergency, I would struggle to do everything perfectly.

This is a ridiculous response. I hope to never be faced with the emergency situation described here, and I'm sure I would fail to do everything my CFI taught me, or everything in the POH. The "win" here is to land safely and tell everyone on POA about it. Great job to OP!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo (click)

@Capt. Geoffrey Thorpe : I'm just curious, do you also use an EFB (e.g., ForeFlight or Garmin Pilot)?

Hello- I'm doing some practice approaches tomorrow (Sat, May 20) from 10a-2p out of Caldwell / Essex (KCDW). My safety pilot had an urgent situation come up and cannot go anymore. Is anyone available / interested to be my safety pilot? In case you didn't know, you can log much of the flight...

If you are getting a joystick (which I use too - and fully agree with), suggest you try to find a less expensive one. Here's what I use: Logitech Extreme 3D Pro

I spent a good portion of time during my IFR training on x-plane. My suggestions: 1) Use same model and configuration aircraft that you're training in reality (ie, steam gauge vs. g1000, etc.) 2) Get accustomed to x-plane (x-camera, weather controls, identifying failures, etc.) 3) Connect to...
