Whilst on our way back from the local flying club meeting, I was
chatting to my friend about his Foreflight subscription and set up. It looks
kind of funky and shiny and a legitimate replacement for replacing the ongoing tide
of the never ceasing CFS issues that I need as well as having other useful
features.
I put forward the suggestion that the next time I needed to fly to
keep current, I’d take him up and we could plan a short local flight using his
IPad and Foreflight for the navigation.*
Having two pilots on board would allow me to play with the
navigation stuff whilst having someone to delegate stuff to if needed.
We spoke every briefly about the logistics; I’d be PIC but we’d brief
very thoroughly on who was doing what and when.
“So,” I joked” you trust me enough to fly you then?”
“It’ll be fine” he replied.
“Thanks, that’s a nice vote of confidence.” I remarked, a little
pleased with myself
“Well, I reckon I could take you out with a single punch, so it’ll
be fine. Never fly with someone you either don’t trust or can’t easily
overpower” he commented.
I have a suspicion that this is actually good advice.
I think!
*Yes I'll still have paper charts as a back up. Paper doesn't run out of juice on you!
