Totally agree. At 02:16 in the video is the note: "Of course, eyes mostly outside looking for traffic, obstacles, and terrain".Seems like a bad idea to me to enter the pattern to an airport you haven’t yet figured out where is.
It's not new on FF.Been doing OBS on the 430 for the runway for almost 20 years. Way to catch up with the times Foreflight!
I often do this also and it does help with general SA. It's of course only precise if the active waypoint (e.g. KCDR) is aligned with the runway centerline (e.g. KCDR rwy 21/03), but would be off a bit if not runway aligned (e.g. KCDR rwy 30/12).Been doing OBS on the 430 for the runway for almost 20 years. Way to catch up with the times Foreflight!
I have, too. Sometimes it's a little hard to visualize traffic patterns for multiple runways if you've never been there before. It's an excellent tool. Use all available resources to maximize SA.Have used that FF feature quite a few times flying into unfamiliar fields that may have difficulty getting a visual on. Nice to have a pattern aiming point to aid in situational awareness while trying to get a visual on the actual runway.
I’ve indeed also been using it for many years; just thought of making a video. Thx for watching. WayneI am surprised this was just discovered, it has been on FF for sometime.
