Took my plane down to NC yesterday, and just as advertised...
I planned my flight a few days ago, picking waypoints, altitude, etc. Saved the flight plan in foreflight on my iPad.
Got to the plane yesterday, got all set up and before I started it up, I turned on my phone as a wifi hotspot. Updated winds aloft, notams, etc. Even filed. Then turned off the hotspot and started the plane. Takes a second for the skyview to boot up, wifi network comes alive, iPad automatically connected. Zapped the flight plan from my iPad to the skyview as fast as I could tap the icons and by the time I could call ground for clearance they had my departure.
The flight down the iPad was a perfect moving map. Used the ADS-B on the dynon to watch the weather... And on shutdown at my destination the fuel burn was within .2 of planned.
Wow!
