Looks cool but for me it doesn’t highlight any of the states like in your example and a user posted above. It’s just the green USA and I don’t see the option to turn on states?

Winds were 040 per Pilawt, pushing cooler air from over the lake into their flight path. They made it over the pass but the track shows they really started losing altitude as they got close to / over the lake. I haven’t flown into KBDU in a while but I remember encountering some drafts flying...

Tweto, who moved from Minnesota to Alaska to play hockey on a college scholarship, told AOPA in 2011 (the height of the television show's popularity), that Flying Wild Alaska was Ariel's idea—along with producers and executives at Discovery Channel, who gave her a viral moment on an obstacle...

It wasn’t hazy on this day, it was a sunny warm Saturday morning and apparently everyone wanted to fly. There was exceptionally heavy traffic in the area, at least more than I’ve ever noticed before. It felt good to land.

I should mention that I also had Garmin’s 355 simulator on my iPad and that helped with general familiarity but it was the combination of working the gps into my scan and attention budget while “flying” the sim that was the biggest help. I still use the Garmin apps to refresh my memory if I...

I used an app called XDisplay. Then I purchased the GTN650 simulator from https://reality-xp.com/ and then in xplane dragged the 650 to the iPad monitor. Worked great. The 650 was as close as I could find to the GTN355 in the actual plane. Being able to practice loading and using approaches...

For private a VR headset made the flight sim more useful to me and I used it to practice day and night pattern work and XCs. For instrument I ditched the headset and filled the monitor with the instrument panel and practiced my scan and approach accuracy. Adding an iPad as a second...

Now I think I understand what you meant by that statement, which for me would have been clearer as “explicitly deem spots legal”. As written I believe I misunderstood your statement as “FAA deems only airports as being legal.” One could argue that the mere existence of that guide implies that...

Oops you forgot to answer. I’ll ask a different way. In your opinion, why does the FAA publish a guide for activities that you claim the FAA considers illegal? I’m honestly just curious how you rationalize that in your arguments, I’m not wading into the rest.

Curious, then why does the FAA publish a guide for doing exactly that? https://www.faasafety.gov/files/notices/2015/Oct/AOAOG_Web.pdf

Not even a power off 180 landing? DPE pulled the power but gave it back to you on short final? Your whole flight portion sounds like private pilot (aside from the chandelle), not CP-SEL. Congrats though!

My guess: Wookie is a reference to Peter Mayhew who played Chewbacca and lived northwest of Fort Worth until he died on April 30, 2019. Not sure how the rest of the waypoints are related, maybe they're just area references (Outline and Clues = who shot JR?)?

Best option for your mission is Bonanza logbooks

I've tried to dig into this and apparently there are only the two settings; start manually, and start automatically. Both can be enabled at the same time (mine are): https://foreflight.com/support/video-library/watch/?v=how-to-automatic-track-logging-2 Maybe you have a better subscription plan...
