Summary
269 Max talks with Seth Lake about how to use and how not to use
ForeFlight for a successful checkride. Even if you aren’t planning
to take a checkride, you’ll learn lots of tips from Seth about how
to use the Documents tab of ForeFlight to organize information that
you may want to have at your fingertips when you fly. He recommends
you create a Binder for your checkride and then add documents to
that binder. For example, for an instrument checkride, you may want
to include some of the FAA Handbooks, including the Instrument
Procedures Handbook and the Instrument Flying Handbook. Other
things you might want to include are: Part 61, Part 91, Part 135,
ACS Instrument Rating Airplane, Aeronautical Information Manual,
Digital Terminal Procedures Supplemental and FAA International
Flight Plan. He also mentions a glitch with the Bookmarks function,
which is keyed to a particular page in a document, rather than a
particular topic. This can become an issue as documents get updated
with new pages, and the topics shift to different pages.
