I've been messing around with Foreflight's content pack ability and made myself some stuff for a Young Eagles rally tomorrow. Now I can access the briefings easily (under airport plates) and add the routes to my map as an overlay if I want.

ForeFlight coming out with dynamic procedures for IFR. I'm excited to give them a try on my next flight.

Boeing vend Jeppesen et ForeFlight - Aerobuzz

Boeing se sépare d’une grande partie de sa division Digital Aviation Solutions, qui comprend notamment Jeppesen, ForeFlight et AerData. La vente à 10,55 milliards de dollars améliorera à court terme la situation financière du groupe, mais détériorera à moyen et long terme ses capacités à proposer des solutions globales. Le groupe Boeing a plusieurs chantiers

Sadly not shocked by this but having a PE firm own the app that I use every flight is a bit worrisome.

The sale includes Boeing’s digital flight planning tools Jeppesen, Foreflight, AerData and OzRunways, though the company “will retain core digital capabilities" as part of the deal with private equity firm Thoma Bravo.

Ich werde mir dann für die Fliegerei mal #Skydemon näher ansehen.
Meine Idee eine IFR Lizenz zu machen habe ich ad Acta gelegt. Das lohnt sich nicht wirklich und Kosten-Nutzen stehen für mich nicht im Verhältnis zueinander. Somit #Foreflight nicht nötig.
Wenn es Skydemon wird, werde ich mir auch ein zusätzliches Tablett zulegen. Größe wie ein iPad Mini. Aber ich tendiere zu einem Android Gerät. Nur welches. 🤔
Akku muss lange halten. GPS muss drin sein. Ein Mobilfunkmodul für SIM-Karte wäre gut.

Been watching Max Velocity all day as I work on #ForeFlight checklists for the #flying club planes. Like his coverage and this is a heck of a storm.
Looking outside here near MSN and we have no real snow ❄️ boo. If it’s cold there should be snow.

#ForeFlight, I have some doubts about your street map.

The ForeFlight recap is up on the web version right now. It is pretty cool to see my logged flights. Maybe some day it'll do full routes so you can see all my scribbles in the sky.
