The homebuilder cockpit community is an exciting and welcoming place for both newcomers and experienced builders. The Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 are by far the most popular projects, but homebuilders have built hundreds of different flight

Boeing certainly tests in public airspace, but only as part of a standardized certification process overseen by the US government - a process and set of regulations that are written in blood. Uber abides by no such testing standardization.

Can you elaborate? Our customers tell us it's one of the best things we offer.

A flight plan and a procedure are very different things. Every commercial flight in America has a hard copy of their flight plan in the cockpit.

Thanks for the mention, elmin. Can confirm ForeFlight is not involved.

This is not true. In fact, we've built our entire business on the fact that pilots can use iPads while flying. www.foreflight.com

Eh, yes and no. The FAA requires operators to get approval for iPad EFBs individually, and does not require GA pilots to do any such thing. "Certified," however, has a special meaning in aviation. iPads are not certified hardware,

The flight plan is programmed into the airplane's avionics, as well as on a printed hard copy in the cockpit. The app is supplemental. It can not be used as a primary navigation reference, per FAA regulations.

American Airlines does not use ForeFlight, though we are used by a variety of other large operators.

I've also been using the Dopp Regatta, exclusively for about 6 years now, and I love it. Super simple, extremely functional. It's the closest to perfect I've found.

I'd be interested in sources for these claims. Lots of hyperbole in this comment.

I'm curious what you mean by "so useful."

As a "joyriding dipshit," I can assure you we're not spraying you with lead. General Aviation is moving away from leaded fuel in general. In fact, Shell recently announced an unleaded alternative to AvGas that can be used in

As a former Groupon employee in Palo Alto (they acquired my startup this past year) I can tell you working from home is most definitely not "fine." My startup was based in San Francisco. Even though Groupon has an office in the ci

I learned a while back that even if I'm going to use the exact code snippet I found on StackOverflow character for character, it's best to type it myself into my editor. Copy and paste is faster, but manually typing it in forces me to reall

Not really a legitimate comparison. Pegasus is Orbital Science's unmanned cargo vehicle. Virgin Galactic is building a space tourism company. Very different.

"Don't they get weather data from somewhere?" Yes, most (if not all) modern airliners have a radar dish in the nose of the aircraft. If you wanted to mess with this, you'd have to spoof radar echoes. Not something you can do from an android

Database.com is so ugly and unprofessional looking I at first thought it was a spam site and actually had to double check the URL.

Not sure why they used parentheses rather than a letter variable in the example. Having gone through the American education system myself, I can definitely tell you 4+3+2=x+2 is a much more common syntax.
