ForeFlight IFR
You got out of 10 right!
Great review. I did not know several of the correct procedures to follow
An extremely complicated program. One would have to use it every day after digesting it and even then there would be procedures easily forgotten unless used daily. I admit I must somehow learn to use a bigger part of foreflight.
I struggle with whether to bother loading the approach into ForeFlight, or just into my GTN.
I’d argue it’s usually faster to enter it in FF, then ‘Send to Pnl’ from there. A few quick taps, & your AP is flying the updated clearance.
Would be nice to know where to get detailed instructions on where to find and how to use these hints.
Very difficult to use it in Europe
