I assumed the free applications were not allowed for commercial use. I just took another look at FltPlan Go and that doesn't seem to be the case. Also looks like it's owned by Garmin. I snagged an unused iPad from our company they usually use for front-end sales and I'll be trying out the...
Long time no chat. I've been incognito for quite a while. Anyway, I prefer the term "risk management". Haha
I think what Denver Pilot was saying is the SWITCH to 56 day cycles is a safety push, not the two device requirement. And AOPA pushed it, not the FAA. I'm the minority; not having a...

That's a little more intense. I'm still in the lower 48, just not that developed of an area. Our neighbors live in Alaska most of the year and their commute depends on the tide. Crazy life, I'm envious.
