Haha I know but you'd think they could come up with something similar on their own!

Haha very true, I definitely would not let it take away my primary focus

Yeah I see your point. I guess it just appeals more to people who want to do everything electronically on their tablet.

Here is me using it while inputting directions in real time. Your example audio made it a little clunky since I had to switch to QWERTY keyboard to type Sheltair so I included two other examples. Taxi Input ATIS Input Clearance Input It really isn't that difficult once you get used to it!

Thank you!

Did you miss the part where I said I did simulator flying for years before actual flight school? Just because I wasn't a real pilot then doesn't mean I didn't try to stay up to date with new technology/apps that could help pilots in general. Plus all of the apps and tablet uses were something I...

Absolutely! I've used it more for simulator practice at the moment since a lot of it is above my skill level. But several other pilot friends have tried it and like it. I also use it whenever I am flying copilot with them and try to follow along with inputs

Yes, what an incredible feeling it was!

You do make an excellent point. I will certainly give your challenge a try! I think the obvious way user's will increase their speed with the app is to do some practice like you just suggested and thoroughly know the layout of the app. But even then, I can still see your point being valid

Just passed 25 hours. Did basic simulator flying for years so really excited to be doing the real thing now!

I wouldn't say it is writing that all out longhand since it has many keys and shortcuts programmed with common phrases. It takes a little while to learn the layout though but once you do you are good! Here's a video that is close to the scenario you proposed Approach_and_Tower_arrival.mov

I found some videos on the website of inputting examples for taxing, approaches, and departures, hopefully that gives you an idea of the process http://ffkeyboard.com/tutorial.html Clearance_and_Taxi.mov

Thanks! Learning in a Cessna 172!

Totally understandable! That is certainly not my intent, I just like spreading the news of anything new that can beneficial/helpful for flying

Roger that. Again, I'm not affiliated in any way, just was spreading the word of something that I have found to be quite useful and helpful
