I had a Retina iPad 3 but sold it for an iPad Mini. Our company required iPads in the cockpit and I love the Mini over the regular sized ipads. We use JeppFD, Foreflight and fltplan.com and it is a fantastic tool in the cockpit.

Can you listen to music with them?

You aren't required to have ANY chart specifically. Just that you make sure you have all available information pertaining to the flight.

Yep, a lot of times if you name a CFI on your policy you will get a discount. More than likely he will have to have time in type (10 hours or more). He is not required to have insurance, if you go through a flight school, that schools insurance will cover the CFI. Your aircraft insurance will...

I have a set that I always keep in my bag (I use the QC-15 as my airline headphones when not as a headset) as a backup in case I forget my A20 or it breaks. The QC-15 uFlyMike combo is fantastic, it is 80% of an A20 for 50% cost. In fact I think for less than 600 you can buy everything new. Plus...

Ehhh, I don't buy that it is standard op for the CAF to gear up a P-39 because of a fuel issue and landing off airport. I am just starting to get involved with CAF and I am sure it depends on the wing, but the one I am getting involved in, are all very very experienced pilots.

Sammy is fantastic. Really one of the few taking the S1S that far in competition.

You probably talk to too many regional pilots then... :p I love my job!

In Vegas after putting the airplane to bed for the night:

Get renters insurance. It can and will happen when you least expect it. I have seen 2 cases of it in my time as a CFI (I wasn't involved).

It is a plane from Aerodynamic. Time will tell what the issue was. Interesting though, and great job by those on board.

Then you run the risk of flipping, the speeds at which a Cirrus is going to glide in, you can easily dig the nose gear into the water upon landing and flip it. Happens all the time. There is a reason why every single part 25 airplane, and part 23 airplane that has a water ditching checklist will...

Actually it is very close to true.

Ever seen what an airplane does whe. It hits the water with the gear down? It flips, every time... I would gladly pop the doors and pull the chute over a body of water if I'm going in there anyway.

My company requires JeppFD which is the IFR app. It is a fantastic app for those that want to use Jepp plates. I played with the VFR app and I like it. The funny thing is, I really like gov sectionals as that is what I am used to, but I hate gov IFR charts and plates. The two things I want FF to...

Brakes on the Lear are 60k a piece, and there are 4. It is literally 90 dollars a landing in brakes alone...

I love VNY. I am flying the Lear there in a few hours. SoCal is very busy, just get flight following, make sure you stay clear of airspace you need a clearance to enter (or request a clearance) and you will be fine. Luckily you will have fantastic SA in the Cirrus so you won't be left using...

Flew to Reno for the Air Races, now I am in Wichita for Lear recurrent training.

I saw Mike Kennedy at the Reno Air Races yesterday. Needless to say I didn't get an autograph.

We depart RHV tomorrow around 8 in a Mooney for RNO. Cannot wait!
