Pre-takeoff checklist
Hi. I'm trying to find a solution (which I think I have / see below) to the problem of looking at an approach plate on ForeFlight while hand flying my Cirrus SR22. The SR22 is slippery and takes some effort at trimming out. Attempting to do that while looking up details from an approach plate (be it from ForeFlight or NOS or JEPP plates) while hand flying is, no pun intended, quite a "handful." I found a "wear-it-on-your-belly-while-it-is-strapped-to-your-neck" device (to be received this week in the mail) that seems to be a reasonable solution, especially given that i wear BIFOCALS. So, if you understand the issue and the dilemma, then maybe you might have some other solutions to the problem, which again is: bifocals + hand-flying + IFR approaches + slippery airplane. ANY help or advice would be most sincerely appreciated.
