    Do I need a Sentry/Scout if I have an iPad/Foreflight and the A/C has ADS-B out?

    That's the final piece of the puzzle! Thanks everyone! BT

    Do I need a Sentry/Scout if I have an iPad/Foreflight and the A/C has ADS-B out?

    Thanks. That's what has confused me, because even on the ground I can see live traffic on the ipad. Perhaps I'm not seeing ALL the traffic?

    Do I need a Sentry/Scout if I have an iPad/Foreflight and the A/C has ADS-B out?

    I've googled but can't find the exact answer to what is I'm sure a simple question for most. I've just started flying again (C172 and PA-28) after a few years. I believe/assume all the rental aircraft have ADS-B out since we have a lot of B/C airspace around here (Seattle) and most of the A/C...

    Flight Review after 11 years

    As everyone says, just stick with it and don't get discouraged. You will progress quickly especially after the first couple flights. I've renewed after a 20 year lapse, and then a 10. Both took about 10 hours/50 landings dual (and a lot of studying of course). It felt a lot longer when I was...

    What callsign for Piper Cherokee derivatives?

    Early in my flying I was taught to identify whatever Cessna single I was flying as simply "Cessna XYZZZ". At some point I learned to be more specific, e.g. Skyhawk XYZZZ, which made sense since it lets everyone know you're probably low and slow. Yesterday I started getting checked out in a...

    AOPA or Mayo Clinic Basic med course?

    I did the AOPA. It was fine. I can't imagine the Mayo is much different/better/worse.

    New CFI in Town

    Thanks for all this info. I somehow missed your response until now. It sounds like you are moving forward quickly with the CFII and great to hear you are so far ahead in the flying. I still have to get my basic skills back up to a higher level before diving into hood work. I just got my CPL...

    Aircraft for IFR Training and Beyond

    I should have stayed in IT. :confused:

    Getting Back to IFR After 13 Years...

    Yes that is appealing but probably not for me due to travel, etc. I'm hoping to set up something similar locally, i.e., get a CFII to commit a block of time for me to do much of the flying. I'm thinking I'd do this after a lot of catch-up studying, and also seriously considering building a new...

    Getting Back to IFR After 13 Years...

    Oh I'm on the 50-something side of the river for sure. The dilemma is a bit more complicated as the new CFII was trained by the guy I'd choose for a CFII myself. And new CFI is mid-thirties, quite mature, and is doing a career change before it's too late (she's my CFI right now for my flight...

    Getting Back to IFR After 13 Years...

    Seems to be quite a little club of us here in this thread. I'm trying to put together my training regimen now also (after 20+ years dormant). Doing similar as recommended by everyone here. Starting on a lot of book study and soon need to choose a CFII. I'm a bit torn on the II choice. Go with a...
