We’ve been flying with the Apple Watch since it first launched, and it’s become increasingly useful every year for both preflight weather checks and as an in-cockpit resource. It includes a GPS and compass for backup navigation and a bright sunlight readable screen for easy viewing in the cockpit.

For those new to aviation or those making the leap from paper charts, there comes a point when a decision is necessary on which app to use in the cockpit. Its a great backup for charts in the cockpit too. When you break it down though, the real question you should be asking is which app is best for me.

It's identical to Hotel, same winds, same altimeter, same multiple cloud layers, same tedious NOTAM about the new rule about STARs being changed back to the way it was, "inform ATC on initial contact that you have information Hotel." A few minutes later I hear WestJet checking in on frequency, "with India." I retune the ATIS and listen.

When an area of volcanic ash is identified, the responsible VAAC will issue a Volcanic Ash Advisory (VAA), which is disseminated to pilots as a NOTAM or SIGMET via ATC, company network operations centers (NOCs), or weather services. In many ash encounters, pilots have reported seeing a clear or slightly hazy discolored sky ahead of them.

I've seen a candidate's own flight training listed on his resume with little point form duties and responsibilities, like checked NOTAMs and calculated weight and balance. Yup, it took the guy three years to get his licence, so he listed that in the same words as would someone who had spent three years training other people to fly.

Perhaps you are transitioning to a G1000-equipped airplane and want to get a basic idea of how things are laid out in the cockpit. There is a lot of data to be processed in the instrument flying realm including weather, NOTAMs, approach plates, departures and arrivals, and more.

Proficiency is about developing and maintaining the skills you need to handle a wide range of conditions in the cockpit. You need to show your ability to read weather charts and NOTAMs. Its something that goes beyond legal requirements. Instead, it demands a deeper level of competence.

It started out as a routine engine failure, but escalated rapidly when we began to smell what we thought at first was smoke, but which turned out to be oil, in the cockpit. After spending decades in the cockpit of a major airline, it was difficult getting back into general and corporate aviation. John Pulis ATP/Helo/CFII/A&P.

A multi-state cross country trip like the one we were taking means a lot of time together in the close confines of an airplane cockpit.
