    Foreflight Flight Timer

    Hey Let'sgoflying!, Josh here, from the ForeFlight Pilot Support Team. As long as the instrument is displayed the Flight Timer should start automatically if the app is open when you take off. In looking into it though, we found a glitch where the timer won't continue if you quit the app (or the...

    EFB compatible GPS

    Bad Elf Pro offers additional flexibility beyond the XGPS150 at a similar price point: it has a screen (so you can see GPS details & battery state) and up to 16 hours of logging (say, if you like to track your hiking/boating). And it can pair with multiple iPads/iPhones simultaneously, should...

    external HDD for MacBook backups

    I have had great luck with the miniStack line from OtherWorldComputing/MacSales.com. VERY quiet, decent performance, and super-reliable. https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/ministack Last time around I got a 3TB and partitioned it into 1TB for TimeMachine, 1TB for "Media" and 1TB for "Misc". But...

    Who are members of our Houston, TX brigade?

    Dang, I'm going to be in Houston during the day on the 12th but won't be able to hang out until dinner :( Enjoy the sweltering humidity while you're here! And if you're heading downtown, avoid I-45...

    Stratus

    Currently every time you turn the Stratus 2S ON, it re-calibrates to straight-and-level based on its current orientation. maggot I suspect that your plane sits at a slightly more nose-up attitude on the ground than it flies. So adjusting the AHRS in-flight by tapping the "Gear" button above...

    My Attempt at a $115 ADS-B Receiver Build for Foreflight

    1090 is required of aircraft that operate above FL180 so airliners pretty much "all" have to have 1090. Since they generally don't use ADS-B weather, they don't also have 978. If you have ADS-B Out on 978-only you may be able to configure your Out transmitter to tell the ground stations you...

    Foreflight upped the price?

    If you want Pro + SV it's still $175 (go to the build your own plan link). If you also want to add Logbook to your Pro + SV you*should get Pro Plus (includes Logbook + SV) for $200. If you really want Pro + only Logbook, you can get just that under the build your own plan link, or you may as...

    Aero Glass is still out there...

    The helmet in the JSF (featuring the 360 "virtual" view) costs over $400,000, in no small part of the technology necessary to avoid latency and head tracking issues. Granted, those jets fly in a more challenging environment than GA planes, but I find it hard to believe that even a 100x cost...

    How to Verify ADS-B output

    If you have ForeFlight Mobile + Stratus (or other supported ADS-B receiver, such as a Garmin GDL88 via a FlightStream 210) you can tap on More > Devices > {ADS-B Device} > ADS-B Ownship to see what ForeFlight is receiving from your aircraft's ADS-B Out equipment. Note: You'll likely need to be...

    [NA] Ariens AMP Rider electric riding mower made in USA

    Yes :) I started out with a push mower but it took a fair amount of time to mow the whole yard, and I perhaps shortsightedly didn't hire a lawn service. I was researching riding mowers when I came across the AMP Rider and thought it was cool. When I found one for a good deal (less than the...
