Google Earth has been around for over 15 years, and in that time it has changed many people’s perception of our planet with its worldwide satellite images. More practically for pilots, the website and app can be useful for planning a flight to an unfamiliar airport. This week brought a major update for the iOS app with some helpful new features for pilots.
While ADS-B Out avionics are pretty simple to operate (they’re basically just upgraded transponders), it is important to ensure your system is working properly. Simply choosing the wrong setting during installation can lead to significant errors, and we’ve heard a number of stories where this has happened. Fortunately, it’s free and easy to check.
Garmin Pilot 9.0 is out and it’s packed full of features, including a new Emergency Mode, split-screen synthetic vision, helicopter weight and balance, enhanced stadium TFRs, support for new ADS-B receivers and much more.

The 2017 AirVenture Oshkosh is now available for iOS and Android, and features full event schedules, exhibitor list, interactive grounds map and a schedule planner.
The SXAR1 receiver has been a popular accessory for pilots flying with ForeFlight over the last year, providing high quality in-flight weather with coast-to-coast coverage from SiriusXM’s satellites.

That option came to ForeFlight earlier this year, and it’s a surprisingly nice upgrade.
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.

A few carefully chosen accessories can make the iPad so much more powerful and easy-to-use. Here’s our list of the accessories you should consider, and our top recommendations.
Pilots flying with ForeFlight have access to more weather information than ever before, including options for both ADS-B and SiriusXM weather in flight. The variety of options is great, but it can be confusing. In this test flight video, we explore the differences between these two systems, and compare Stratus (ADS-B) with SXAR1 (SiriusXM). Which system is better? Can you use them both? Come flying with us as we explain.
Considering your first iPad or upgrading your old one? There are a lot of options. In this article, we’ll walk you through all the options, then offer our choice for the best overall aviation tablet.

Modern electronic flight bag (EFB) apps are jammed with so many features that a lot of pilots don’t even know about some of the less popular options. That doesn’t mean these features aren’t valuable, though, so we recently asked four top app companies for their insight. The question was: “what feature is under-appreciated in your app?”
