@Trey Lewellen kind of but when you are flying SAR patterns North up is grid aligned. It's useful. I will switch to track up on Foreflight when trying to locate traffic.
Hanging around here at home with family. Was supposed to fly this morning but bagged it. Precipitation and freezing at 1,000 ft is not a good combination
I aim to shoot 6 approaches per month (vs the required 6HITS). I try to do at least 3 in the airplane and 3 in the simulator (I have an FAA Certified BATD). The sim allows me to shoot approaches into challenging airports, or airports I wouldn't normally get to fly into.
