I've just heard from someone else who was skeptical about the app given the thread here. He did end up downloading it after talking to me, and reported back that it looks fine to him. :-) He did have some UI/feature suggestions (like emailing/printing) which I think makes sense; so we'll do an updat...

Just curious... you say there's no approaches at your airport... which airport is it? I agree with your concerns, IMC experience aside, there's a lot more to IFR flight than just flying through clouds. For example... my IFR instructor was top draw (Webster winner), but really didn't have any real wo...

A friend of mine came across this plane the other day.
Call me crazy, but I want it!
Simply the most awesome homebuild I ever saw.


Spotted in Stratford.

I'll do the occasional flight down to the US, either Chicago, Teterboro, or more often right down to Boca Raton Florida (that's some pretty busy space let me tell you). Occasionally I'll get some terminology that I'm not clear on, so I just ask. PS - I love it when they pronounce my call sign as "Ca...

That's been my experience. Heading to Sarnia from Toronto I'll either ask for GOVAD or it's offered. It's at about 90 degrees from the runway. And half the time I'll be asked "Are you able to navigate from there onto final?". Sometimes I say yes, sometimes no. ATC is always happy to oblige.

So what happened?

You know, after over 4 decades in this business I constantly learn something new. For example, I did not know that speaking a language other than English hampered your ability to work on aircraft. How does the rest of the world ever manage? I don't believe we was talking about mechanics speaking En...

Nicocopter,

Judging by your name, I assume you're an RC Helicopter guy now?
What kind of machines do you have?
(I'm also an RC guy - albeit intermediate skill levels with planes and some with helicopters)

I don't know if this helps, but there are companies out there that use RC helicopters routinely to do tower inspections.

Google Tower Inspections RC Helicopter and that may lead you to some people who routinely do what you're trying to do.

A Navajo is going to cost twice as much as a Duchess or Seminole, and 4 hours in the plane is IMO going to make no difference to your chances of getting hired. If any of my students asked me if they should take such a course I would emphatically say no. The place to learn how to fly a Ho is the pla...

Only approach plates (airport/taxi charts, approaches, STARs, SIDs).
No enroute charts (HO/LO/VNC)

I couldn't find iEFB Pro - just iEFB.
Bad review on it so it can't be the one you're talking about (8x 1 stars and 1x 2 stars).
Who's the developer?

Nav Canada plates will be coming - just not here yet.

All the apple hating tech nerd buddies have androids.. I think merely in spite. Close. They like it because of End User Licensing. Android is flying in popularity because you can do just about anything you want with it. Enthusiast's pull it apart and make there own operating systems, customize it, ...

And to clarify... no alt filing in Canada is only available to commercial ops. Private guys, or even private company planes that are not operating under an OC have to file for an Alternate.

We develop for both Mac and Windows...
I've been working professionally with PCs for... well... almost 2 decades now?
My go to computer is the Mac.
I only use the PC when I absolutely have to.

Just sayin'

So, not good news. Nav Canada is not keen on releasing copyrights to anyone except for "approved vendors." Here is the reply I got: NAV CANADA is legislatively responsible for the provision of all aeronautical data, and therefore cannot grant permission for the redistribution of this information to...

Yeah - the iPhone market has REALLY pushed down prices. $1 apps are deplorable and appears to be a necessary evil. It's very much like the music bizz. 99% of the musicians/iPhone programmers don't make a killing on one song/app. Rather, they have a large body of work which individually doesn't amoun...

Great idea. However, I hate all things Apple/iPhone. I don't know why developers don't make such great apps for android. There's a lot of reasons why. ;-) I won't bore you with the nitty gritty details here but in point form... - 8 to 10 times more expensive in dev costs for platforms like Blackber...

It is my understanding that you can file whatever routing you want with FSS. The routing that you get with your clearance from ATC will depend on the airspace, available altitudes, as well as how busy the airspace is at the time of your flight. It is this initial clearance that will determine your ...

Combining it with JLog was on our radar. Our heads started to hurt when we tried to figure out how to do it without pissing off current JLog users ... "What the hell... this is too complicated now! I just want to log my time across multiple planes so I can reconcile my billing to my different studen...

Thanks for the feedback so far. So here's a situation where the app is designed to help. 1) During a 100hr inspection a much of things are done to say... a Navajo... and are put into the Journey Log. Wording on some of those things may not match up exactly to the working you might be tracking in a s...

www.fltplan.com is your friend.

Hi everyone. So there's an app nearing the end of the development process, and I thought I'd post some information here to get some feedback. There's some screen shots with descriptions at : http://www.punkstarstudios.com/PunkStar_Studios/MaintenanceLog.html Essentially it's an app that a pilot can ...

You'll have to file preferred but once you're wheels up you'll probably get direct anyhow.
The filing of preferred is so everyone knows what to expect and keeps you out of everyone's wat in case your radio goes dead.
