Re: iPad Mini 4 and ForeFlight

As an FYI, best buy was (is?) blowing out the 9.7 inch ipad pro from last year. Saving from original is like $300 off.

Paper maps vs EFB/GPS for VFR

Just curious how many of you are still using paper VNC/VTA or a GPS and/or IPAD for VFR flights.
Advantages for both, but just curious.

Re: Aircraft Rentals in the Lower Mainland

If you are looking to impress, you can't go wrong with renting out of Squamish at Glacier Air. Or just book a tour with Sea to Sky Air and ask if they will let you fly left seat since you are licensed. Ask for a "you fly". Flying up at squamish and the area is not like flying in the lower mainland.

Re: Accident in North Vancouver

I think he used a dipstick for a 172 with Long Range tanks (52 gal) vs. one for Short Range (42 gal). If he used a LR dipstick in a SR tank and saw 42 gal (total) at YNJ, that would be consistent with his statement that he had 5h15min of fuel when he left YNJ (assuming 8 gal/hr burn rate). It does ...

Clearance after General Anesthetic

Hi,
Im having a "procedure" done this week that requires me to be under general for about 10-15 minutes.
Do I have to get clearance from the dr performing the procedure or a CME to fly as a PPL student. I want to see if i can get up 24 hours later for a lesson.
