Figures that I would just now find "Trip Assistant" after Foreflight has decided to discontinue it. Not a huge surprise, considering how little I use the web vs the phone or pad. But still frustrating given how cool of a feature this could have been. For people planning multi-leg XC what do you use? How do you pick your overall route? How do you pick your leg distances and fuel stops? Anything out there that makes your life easier?

I have my annual "have to go to a conference in Vegas but I hate going to these things, but if I have to go I'll fly myself and redeem the trip" trip coming up in April. For those in the know, do you prefer HND or VGT? Looking for a nice FBO with reasonable ramp fees (extra credit for short term hangar space). I'll be staying on the strip for 2-3 nights, so a 10-15 minute difference in the drive from the airport isn't a huge deciding factor. Assuming I'll be coming in from the South East via DRK, or maybe EED on the South. Looking at METARs right now VGT runways look like better winds, is that pretty typical? Thanks! Max

I was brutalized by the sun on a flight and triggered me to figure out a solution. Searching the forum I've found a slew of things from tint, to movable cling, fabric barriers, DIY tinting, etc... While I'm tempted to tint the rear windows, I feel like having something I can position for the sun but be able to move/remove when needed is a smarter play.

Anyone know an appropriately accommodating A&P in the Dallas area?

I heard a rumor about this - is anyone actually working on pulling this off?

If you're not Instrument Rated, and the person with you in the plane isn't a CFII, and you're in actual IMC, how are you PIC?

Correct, but you have to be solo not with CFI Correct, post PPL instrument training with CFII = PIC, but if flying with CFI or just an instrument rated pilot in right seat then not PIC

How it was explained to me, and what lines up with FF for me: Pre PPL = not PIC Post PPL w/ CFI = PIC Post PPL Instrument training w/ CFII = PIC Pre Instrument Rating flying Instrument w/ CFI = not PIC

I just signed up or ezwxbrief and cannot believe I never knew about it! Forecast conditions along your route with your minimums applied visually is incredible!

This was where I went. I had intermittent transponder gremlins after the install. In my case a connector wasn't made properly and ground was inconsistent. Replacing the line end to end solved the problem and haven't had an issue since.

Curious what you didn't like about the Ovations for sale online - or what you're looking for / hoping to find here?

I had a JPI EDM 830 and went with the integrated EIS on the G3x. It is nice having everything in one place, especially when you can just pop out the SD Card and upload all of your engine data to Savvy. Sometimes I miss the dedicated/larger display on the EDM - it was easy to glance at quickly and read. This is a good problem to have, either way you go you'll be happy.

Lol of course - that's probably the only oil that's ever been used in my engine.
