I have been trying to put a profile picture on my posts but for some reason it just will not display on the post. My photo is 100x75 px and is 15.4 kb in size. Not sure what is going on.

Thanks, Edgefly! I just started using iMovie, which is pretty easy for editing. WaarrEagle, I did a lot of searching on Youtube and the net to see who to contact when on the ground. As I understand it, if a field has Clearance Delivery, then contact them. If no Clnc Deliv, then contact...

Lou, I would not be too jealous. I have seen old dirt farm roads in better shape than 17L. :lol:

I tried VFR flight following for the first time earlier this week and must say I was very impressed. For any students or for pilots that have not flown in 20 years (like me), I thought it would be nice to show a video with the radio communications. I asked for flight following on the ground...

I used to fly in the days when VORs were the height of technology, so I understand why it is more convenient to have the VOR radials set to magnetic. But by not updating the VORs to the current magnetic variation, it puts another wrinkle in the myriad of navigation information to know. If...

Yeah EB, I thought that was the problem too, so I set the date for several days ahead so Foreflight doesn't take winds into account. Unfortunately it still showed the same "errors." See chartbundle's post above for the reason it was doing this. If I am interpreting it correctly, the VOR's...

THANKS a bunch chartbundle! I just got my BFR after a 20 year (!) hiatus and it sounds like I need to do some more refreshing on my sectional usage. So the VOR's are not set to the current magnetic variation, that's interesting.

Best of luck to you, DMD3! I just started flying again after a 20 year hiatus, and am now toying with the idea of working on my IFR rating. It sounds like a real pain to get and keep current with, but I will likely do it eventually.

I use Foreflight and have noticed that their magnetic heading is different than my calculated magnetic heading. Anyone versed in Foreflight, please help! It has been awhile since I have done these calculations manually, so maybe I'm screwing something up. When I select a route by entering it...

I'm in the same boat as Gerhardt. If I'm sitting on the couch with my iPad doing my usual pilot activities (POA, Foreflight, checking weather, etc.) and my wife asks me what I'm doing, I'll just lie and say "Just looking at porn." It's much easier that way.

...and what do you call the pilot who just barely squeaked by his written exam? Captain. :lol:

I managed to post one reply, but couldn't do the next. I am a real humanoid.

Just joined the site, but thought I would put my 2 cents in since I happen to be an optometric glaucoma specialist. Glaucoma is not always so much of a black and white issue. Pressures in and of themselves are not diagnostic. There are a myriad of tests we run (or at least I do) to determine...
