The very best part of this video is your discussion of loading the REEKO STAR from PUDJE. I am a CFII and have a list of six "GPS Tasks Pilots Don't Know How to Do." Understanding that certain tasks require you to load a fix behind when you expect to go is one of them. It not only comes up in SIDs and STARs but also with somehing as a clearance with vectors to intercept an airway.
As an airplane owner, I’m 1000 X more aware of how ridiculously expensive everything is aviation. That said, ForeFlight has to be one of the greatest and cheapest things you can pay for as a pilot. The value it brings it’s worth 10 times what you pay for it. Someone once pointed out that if you truly purchased paper sectionals when you’re supposed to, that covers more than half of ForeFlight cost!
Really great video. I’m an instrument student with a checkride October 31st. Watching your videos reminds me why instrument flying is so exciting when i’m getting tired of ground studying! Your videos are super helpful, just watching you can really teach a lot.
Great video. Since I am in the throes of finishing up my IR, I pick up some incredibly useful tips from you. Thank you, sir! Appreciate you for bringing us along. -Lee
@@lee.schulz I am happy to do it. Hopefully you finish your training soon and put it to work. Let me know if there is a topic you would like to see featured.
Not sure if you do this or not, but you can also send your flight plan to Plates. Then all your departure and destination plates (SIDs, STARs, approaches) are there easily accessed. I didn’t know that in my early beginning of foreflight. Someone showed me that about a year later after I was using it.
One caution about using IFR Routes in ForeFlight and flying VFR with Flight Following and NOT IFR Flight Plan: Remember that IFR may take you through a Class C or B airspace because you are on an IFR flight plan, if you are flying VFR and doing flight following, you can ask ATC to clear you through that airspace, but just know they may not - fly above or below and plan that!
Could delete that fix as well. We have a an arrival at my home airport that has a choice between two fixes, I file to an intermediate fix and delete the initial. Great video, like the tips and tricks. Love ForeFlight.
Hello my dear friend What an amazing video great to keep Us current when we are in grown or in between sale and buy another plane Amazing tips for the ForeFlight And best is your very real Amarican accent Love it Please make more video
These are published routes that organize the traffic flow into and out of busy airspace. These are used when flying on an IFR flight plan and will not be used when you are flying VFR.
@@TheFlyingSalesman Loving your vids! Aeromach looks like it's three companies? What parts/services do you sell? Looks like Epic Aircraft is using your TCO static dischargers, I was just in Bend, OR a couple weeks back to participate in a factory tour they were offering and it was .... epic 🤣, really cool to see! As the CEO said, planes come into the factory as fabric (I asked, the engines, too 🤣) and they leave as completed aircraft. Is Aeromach growing? I just perused the careers tab but didn't see anything.
@@rollamichael Yes, Aero-Mach is comprised of three companies, Labs, Wilco and TCO. At this time we are only hiring for technical positions. If that is something you are interested in, let me know and I will get you in touch with HR.

Thanks, I am glad you were able to glean something from it. Blue skies!

@@boogerwood 100%, we had the nation wide subscription for paper and in year two we saved money. That includes the iPad and ram mount.

Thank you very much! All the best on your checkride and never stop training! -TFS
How did your checkride go?
Smooth takeoff, Smooth landing, very nice flying with u & Gladys…
you’re an excellent Pilot…
@@above7833 she sure is!
Thanks for the insight on Foreflight
@@nealhere you are welcome!
Butter flight! Nice job! We office at KSDL if ever in the area. 👍🏼
That's fantastic. I do make it there a couple times a year.
Great video.

Matt, very informative, thanks for sharing, always look forward to your videos.
It is always great having you along @@billgalante1181
Foreflight looks a lot like what the company gives us on our electronic flight bags. Nice to see another video from you Matt.
@@747FoSophie thanks for watching!
Thanks for that excellent video! Love the Centurion.
It is a great airplane, thank you for watching.
I appreciate you sharing your experience on the ForeFlight flying salesman

@@brockmolander just tried this, thanks for the tip! I did not know this.
Well done Matt
@@davewilliams639 thank you!
I am a foreflight user but I had never seen the Celling function. I just got my IFR check ride sign off and I will be using this function from now on.
@@hmrbruce I am glad you got something from the video. I wish you the best on your check ride.

Hello my dear friend
What an amazing video great to keep

Amazing tips for the ForeFlight

There's no way I fly without my iPad (with ForeFlight) and my Sentry. MIA airspace is too congested to fly without traffic info.
Florida has gotten crazier and crazier over the years.
How did you attach your full-size iPad to the right yoke?
@@davidkagey6091 it is a ram mount from mygoflight.
what is the purpose of these 'routes'? (i'm a new pilot)
These are published routes that organize the traffic flow into and out of busy airspace. These are used when flying on an IFR flight plan and will not be used when you are flying VFR.
@@TheFlyingSalesman ok gotcha, thanks
Is the plane all yours or is it supplied by the company you work for, Matt?
@@jnick1909 the airplane is owned by Aero-Mach in Wichita Kansas. Check us out www.aeromach.com

I hate Apple, so I'm against using Foreflight because they are exclusively on iPad.
I understand that. Have you looked into Garmin's Plane Sync? I am not sure if it is Android compatible or not.
