As the old saying goes, “train like you fly, fly like you train.” If you fly with an iPad, don’t hide it during your training flights.

Canada is an easy flight for many pilots in the United States, and summer is the perfect time to visit.

Appareo, the maker of the popular line of Stratus ADS-B receivers, announced they are buying Aerovie, the developer of a full-featured aviation EFB app. Learn what the deal means for pilots and what new features Aerovie customers can soon expect in the app.
We often get asked, “If I have a panel full of Garmin, does that mean I should use Garmin Pilot for my EFB app?” There’s no simple answe, but it’s definitely worth a serious look. Here are some examples of the deep integration possible with a Flight Stream and Garmin panel-mount avionics (in this case a Garmin GTN 750 and G600 TXi glass panel).
