M016576 Posted December 22, 2014 Report Posted December 22, 2014 that's smart: get the students seeing all their CFI's using WingX... good advertising!
lahso Posted December 22, 2014 Report Posted December 22, 2014 Wow, thanks for passing that info along.
rbridges Posted December 22, 2014 Report Posted December 22, 2014 that's smart: get the students seeing all their CFI's using WingX... good advertising! that is smart. that was the main reason I went with foreflight; my cfii was using it.
carusoam Posted December 22, 2014 Report Posted December 22, 2014 Two vendors Two choices Great developments Low cost High capability Supporting the CFI community, smart business model! Best regards, -a-
midlifeflyer Posted December 22, 2014 Report Posted December 22, 2014 WingX Pro and Foreflight were the earliest tablet apps and their competition with each other on features and functions the main reason we have all we have today. They both continue to improve!
Marauder Posted December 22, 2014 Report Posted December 22, 2014 Pretty slick move. Most primary flight instructors end up being the Mom or Dad figure for their student during flight training. I know that is how I got started on Jepps.

ryoder Posted April 24, 2015 Report Posted April 24, 2015 I'm going to go get my ground instructor cert and see if I can get it for free too 1
midlifeflyer Posted April 25, 2015 Report Posted April 25, 2015 I'm going to go get my ground instructor cert and see if I can get it for free too Shoot an email to Hilton and ask. He's pretty responsive. 1
Parker_Woodruff Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 I'm going to go get my ground instructor cert and see if I can get it for free too Go get your CFI even if you don't plan on instructing. It'll make you a better pilot. 1
midlifeflyer Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 Go get your CFI even if you don't plan on instructing. It'll make you a better pilot. Nah. Instructing makes you a better pilot. I don't think getting the certificate does.
ryoder Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 I thought getting an instrument racting made you a better pilot? Or watching some aopa videos.
mike_elliott Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 Nah. Instructing makes you a better pilot. I don't think getting the certificate does. When you are instructing, you are a better pilot because you get to sit in the "genius" seat 1
donkaye, MCFI Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 Nah. Instructing makes you a better pilot. I don't think getting the certificate does. My experience has been that Flight Instructing makes you a better psychiatrist. 1
mike_elliott Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 My experience has been that Flight Instructing makes you a better psychiatrist. With my wife being a psychiatric therapist, I sometimes get to talk shop with her
