    Central America EFB, Wx, and Charts?

    Smartwatch Pulse/Oximeter Question

    I have a Garmin smartwatch with oximeter function but it won’t work at altitude because of aircraft vibrations. I was surprised to see that an Apple Watch Ultra worked accurately in flight, no issue. I have an apple watch from before they included blood oxygen readings which I wear for daily use...

    What Does the FAA Have Against the Word, “Student?”

    A couple years ago FAA publications twisted themselves into knots trying not to use the word “student” and used the word, “learner” instead. Now it looks as if they’re using the word “customer” in CFI publications. I’m in my late 50’s and love when I get to be a student, I like to think I’m...

    Flying Opportunities Around Sydney, Australia?

    My wife is working in Sydney, Australia for many months and has said she misses flying (I take this as a personal victory.) Does anyone know of a trusted single engine tour or ride operation in or around Sydney? My wife is not a pilot, but would enjoy something low and slow, perhaps open-cockpit...

    Marriage Checklist for Pilots

    My fiancé sent me a list of “13 Questions to Ask Before Getting Married.” It’s a standard list: Children, Exes, Religion, Debt, Expenses, etc. to head off any gotchas before it’s difficult to turn back. I said I’d read over and discuss but I that didn’t see any aviation questions. Her reply was...

    Cross Country Weather iPad App?

    I’d been using The Weather Channel iPad app for planning flights between NY and LA. I’d load 10 cites across the country and swipe between them, looking at 10 day forecasts, and choose the best route and day(s) to fly. I also use ForeFlight Prog Charts and Winds Forecasts (and TAFs and MOS)...

    LogTen Pro (not LogTen Pro X) on Current iOS?

    If you're cheap like me and thought paying $75 was enough for a logbook database you might still be using LogTen Pro, not the subscription product, LogTen Pro X. Of course Coradine hasn't updated the old LogTen Pro software, but it's still been working after many subsequent iOS updates. Has...

    Zulu Time on Apple Watch

    If this is redundant, mea culpa, but it took me some time to figure how to add UTC on an Apple watch. First I put in London, thinking that would work, but they observe daylight saving time, so it's currently one hour off. Here's how: -go to the Clock app on your iPhone, seems most settings...
