I actually do read the location box in FF. I have never seen a way to do the KSMO/212/LAX/315 I was under the impression that LAX/315/30 was the only way. But I am glad I now know this way works too. Can you elaborate on the text ODP? I have not ran across that one yet either. I love...

John I learn something new everyday! I had no idea that the KSMO/212/LAX/315 would work. That is totally awesome. Even if you could not enter that via Connext or some other transfer you could at least get the GPS coords out of ForeFlight to put in to the panel mounted GPS. I know for at...

I wonder if an accident was attributed to mistakes made due to VOR declination by the NTSB and the FAA was sued how long it would take to get the VOR stations realigned then.

I can somewhat get behind what you are saying but the variance would be so small that you would still be well within the acceptable course deviation for ATC at this distance. If you were tracking a radial that was 20+ miles out then sure that course deviation would increase and that might be a...

Very good point. My guess is these things will most likely change in the future. But for now the old ways are probably the best ways.

You can file that way and it is even possible that ForeFlight users have filed that way before but ATC will modify it. ForeFlight states is shows you ATC cleared routes so it would be strange to see a piston on that list of recently cleared routes but anything is possible. What would most...

That we can all be sure of. Would have been great to see those pictures!

New to the forum and just saw and read this entire post. My question is how can you hit something even in a jet at approach speeds at 10 feet off the ground, feel that impact and react fast enough to pull up before hitting the ground. Even the impact of the pole had to be violent to the...

So I am a bit of a stickler and tinkerer so I set out to figure out ways for the future. I mentioned I am tech savvy it is my day job so I can't help it. I fly with an iPad pro and ForeFlight so I took out the iPad and thought okay how could I get the GPS coordinates to make a waypoint in the...

Believe it or not this actually makes me feel a little better. I thought I was just really over looking a simple setup. When you are working with controllers in and around class bravo airspace you really have to be prepared for what ever they throw at you. So I guess my make due solution was...

Sorry long explanation for a one line question at the bottom. I have been a private pilot since 1989 and an IFR rated pilot since 2001 and really got the rating more for safety then flying in IFR conditions. Although I do not fly much IFR. Recently I have been trying to get back to some IFR...
