1. As far as i Know, you will almost NEVER get the route you request, get used to it. 2. You will almost NEVER fly the given route. seriously, sometimes i feel like i'm wasting ink copying down the complete clearance from my experience, outside the busiest airspace and even then outside...

Garmin Pilot on android rocks, well atleast on samsung s8+ and up. that being said, i had to switch to apple due to someone stealing my samsung tablet and it being 300$ more than the apple air to replace it. 8( , so unfortunately, i'm an apple user now. LET'S GO PACERS

people love getting, it's the paying they have issues with

how about putting a beacon on top of all the cell towers, functioning sim to gps. or hurry up and turn ELoran back on

Garmin Pilot and gdl39 3d, play with these even on the ground. also wife got me a pair of Rayban Aviators love walking around in these saying pilot stuff

Not really how it works, the part you're focused on is TINY and in practice, mostly identical, follow line. slight complication in how you get the line. There are complicated approaches, gps and nav but they all boil down to following a list of simple instructions. read an approach plate...

it does happen, someone/something was jamming gps around ksgr a few months back.

I do ksgr to kind quite often in my mooney, usually about 148 to 151 kts tas, get a good autopilot and plan for fuel stops around memphis, easy. much better than airline. due to winds, which seem pretty much permanent, ksgr->kind is really fast, coming back can be problematic. really sux...

there is no "calibration" it's a 5 second check to verify the things are still within spec. the check ISN't required for an ILS approach if you can fly a vor you can fly a gps, the equip in the plane works pretty much the same only diff being it's trivially more difficult to know your current...
