Tag: Private Pilot

I have recently been training for my private pilot license. After learning the basics, I really enjoy using ForeFlight for tracking and planning. ForeFlight also makes it easy to track my progress towards the license. One of the requirements is to do a solo cross-country flight. When it came time to log my entry in ForeFlight, I couldn’t figure out how to do it initially. I finally figured it out and this blog post shows how to do it.

I have recently been training for my private pilot license. As part of the whole experience, I also setup a simple flight simulator using Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. It has been a good supplement for my training, definitely not the same experience, but it can help with better understanding VOR navigation and other similar concepts. I haven’t run the simulator in about a month and a half, and when I started it up I got an error message saying that there was some mandatory update that I needed to install from the Microsoft Store. Going to the store didn’t show any updates so I had to do some digging to figure our what was going on.
