| Subject: | Re: Safe rather than Sorry |
I was taught years ago in flight training to use flight service. My flight
service experience has been underwhelming. I regularly fly but don't use it
anymore. On occasion I will use DUAT but normally I just check the weather
charts on my computer and smart phone. I also find pilotmycast very useful
for weather and TFRs.
There is also a flight charting service that I get free by being a EAA
member that is wonderful for cross country flying. You print a stack of
charts for your flight path that are sized for a knee board. No more one
handed in flight refolding of charts. They are always the most current
charts so you don't need to pay for updated charts and they even have TFR
info printed on them.
Just got back to Michigan for the summer and need to pull the trusty Kolb
back to the airport.
Again worth what you paid for it.
