Thanks for all the responses. I think I have learned a lot? So, would it be fair to say that the initial call up is not relevant if it was forgotten or inadvertently over looked, or I fail to correct if forgotten, and the transaction changes on what is perceived after initial callup. A lot of...

After reading and thinking. I am positive on my first call up that I had ask for the touch and go because I had written it down earlier to make it easier on myself to cover everything. I think that on the prelanding call he said clear to land, he may have said something else and I heard what I...

I did my first class D touch and go yesterday since many years ago. I was kinda nervous about it. So I started listening about 30 miles away. They were a little busy so I just was going to fly away from the airspace and listen for a while then fly home. Traffic slowed and I decided to call them...

Dude, I am where you are except not IFR rated. I am getting back into flying after several years away for various reasons. On my next flight I'm going to a class D just to get it out of the way and get re acquainted with them. I plan to write down my first call to them, with a predetermined...

Thanks to all who replied to this. Lots of great info. I have flown using fltplan go two times. I have the garmin glo and use my iphone. It works really well no lockups or anything like that. I do find my iphone a bit small and might look into a mini ipad. I am unfamiliar with others apps but...

Yes that is the place. Most time that is where I will take off from. I didn't know if I could start a route from it somehow. If I search in skyvector it will find it but fltplan will not.

OK, those are helpful. Mine only has 3 boxes at the bottom and yours has more info. How do you get that? Your direct pic has your house as a starting point. I fly out of a private airport that does not come up in fltplan. 80ky is supposed to be the identifier, its just east of the old Central...

The manual for some reason has the "direct to" option in it. That is the reason I thought it would do some of these things. That is real misleading. But that is advertising I guess, so I get that, but seemed to have mis understood fltplan's capability's. It ain't the first time.

So I have fltplan on my iphone and the garmin glo. So do I understand that it will not run a route as in giving me distance to an airport type information as I fly? I can use it as is but thought that it would show me distance to my destination, thinking I could use that feature for radio calls...

So the garmin glo does not navigate?

I have this on my iphone and a glo 2 thing. I have not flown with this yet but have used it in the truck. It has my plane on there moving around as I drive and works really well doing that. I have also made a route and it shows on the screen. But suppose I want to start a flight. I know the...

Thanks for all the help and suggestions. There is so much to consider with all the different ones out there. I did get the fltplan go app to just check it out. It is hard to know where to go as it all is new to me. I have talked to the help people a few times. They were super helpful and hung...

I am wanting a GPS for VFR I have down loaded and logged a bunch of times. I guess I thought this app had a moving map for flying? Should I try to find a hand held gps for what I need or are there things out there that you can have a gps map on an iphone or ipad. Sorry for this stupid question...

Thanks for all the help I think that within a couple of calls to a nearby approach that I could find it. I have been looking at the articles mentioned and have learned where to find them. I don't understand it all but maybe enough. I think that I see why instructors may not want to spend a lot...

Hey thanks guys this gets me heading in the correct direction. I get confused with all the terms sometimes. I am re reading thru the different centers, fss, type of facilities and what they do to get more details.

Thanks, I had ran across that page on skyvector, and I use to have some of those green books. So I just call the nearest facility that has APP/DEP? That is easy enough to find. I think that all the reading some of which says to call an ARTCC is confusing me. I grew up at a corn patch field and...

New member here. The thing said I could not search yet so I thought I would ask. I have been out of flying for several years and getting back into it. I think maybe one more trip and I can solo. My question is about flight following. I'm sure I have a brain fart going but I have been unable to...
