ForeFlight and your Instrument Checkride 

These videos are a gold mine for filling in those extra gaps I’m missing from my training. Thanks a ton!

Seth, as others have said, this is a goldmine of information/help, not only for the checkride, but also for IFR safe flying. This a true service for the IFR community. Your "blueprint" gives me every confidence that, if I follow it, I will pass my IFR checkride. Thank You is not strong enough, but it is the best that I can do. I'm watching all of your videos.

This is a goldmine. Like another commenter said, I feel like I just found some cheat codes. I love the idea of not just book marking, but annotating/highlighting information right on the pages as well. I have a number of docs that I have developed that I use a lot and this video inspired me to PDF 'em and put them in Foreflight, a few of which have blown DPEs/CFIs minds a little bit. I also have some study guides, like Pilot Cafe's, that I hadn't even thought about putting in Foreflight until now. I have a PDF of my POH, and guess what--it's going in Foreflight, along with bookmarks to the pages I use the most. Also going to binder all the Pilot Guides for all my avionics. This video really opened up a door to new thinking about how to really capitalize on Foreflight. Thank you!!!

Extremely helpful! I'm preparing for an IPC after several years off of flying. I was thinking about buying new versions of the books you reference and didn't realize Foreflight provided great access to the ones I was considering plus extras. When I started flying Foreflight was mostly a weather app so I appreciated the overview of finding documents, creating bookmarks, integrating it all into an effective preflight routine, and demonstrating to the CFII that I am well prepared to answer questions and perform a safe flight! Thanks!

Absolutely stunning ! Your effort in this video and all your other videos are much appreciated. Companies charge tons of money for such valuable information, tips and little tricks. Thanks Seth, keep banging out such videos!

This is amazing. Feeling much more confident about Foreflight organization after this video.

I feel like I just got the cheat codes for a checkride AND being a safe and professional recreational pilot. I will probably never be a commercial pilot but I want to be a professional pilot aka I take it all seriously and this video showed me what taking things seriously looks like in practice. I feel like I learned more here in general about instrument philosophy than my online course I paid for. Thank you for this content it is invaluable!!

Thank you for a great video. I've been using ForeFlight for about a year now and just learned a few new things! Also, I actually had my iPad overheat during the first approach of my instrument checkride. After a brief moment of panic, as it had never happened to me before, I pulled out my phone and continued the approach, putting the ipad into a shaded spot. By the time we got to the next approach, it was working again and gave me no further issues. It CAN happen

This is so helpful with pre checkride nervs. Thank you so much.

Great content very easy to follow, organized & easy to listen to. thanks!

Love these videos! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 thank you for these

This video is pure gold. Thanks a lot

This guy is amazing. This content is Gold. Wish I had this when I was doing my IR.

This was great. Thank you for sharing your process.

Excellent material! Thank you for sharing. Your channel is gold. Fly safe!

Hey Seth! Thanks so much for your content. It has been super helpful preparing for my IFR ride coming up in a few days. You seem like a fantastic DPE. Keep up the good work!

absolutely fantastic. Learned more about foreflight in this video than anything I have seen so far. Thanks for helping me prepare for my checkride

Seth you are a legend my friend. Very informative and an organized way to approach the instrument checkride. Appreciate it man!

Really helpful, thorough, and well-explained. Thanks for making this so straightforward.

Looking forward to an all weather video. Love the knowledge sir!

Wow. So glad I came across these videos. Seth - these are invaluable lessons not just for the check ride, but for being a better prepared pilot. Thanks so much.

Thank you for the great video Seth.

Fantastic content. Long time VFR ForeFlight user working on an IFR ticket and the timing on this could not be better. Thanks!

This is Gold! Well done!

Thank you! I feel wayyyyyyy better for the checkride woow. Unbelievable honestly

Found this video while looking for tips on tabbing a far/aim for my instrument checkride coming up. This wasn’t helpful at all with that but I’m very glad I came across it. ForeFlight is a hell of a tool. Good work

Wow, wow, WOW! This is so incredibly helpful as I prepare for my instrument checkride. Thank you Seth!

Loved it

Thanks for the great info Seth.

This is amazing material. It’s so nice to have an even keeled and professional explanation that is thorough and incredibly helpful. Thank you for posting this material and taking down the walls of ego in information availability - true service oriented mindset with incredible value. If you ever make a page where we can buy you a coffee let me know!

I'm not big on using the ff but it's because I have never looked at what it can do for me. I used it as a backup logbook and for maps screen. This was so informative that it makes me want to dive into ff for these features plus more.. thanks for another well done video

Very nice info Seth! Enjoy your take on how to be prepared for preflight check list and flight plan and back up plans.

Super helpful video, thanks a lot!

I know this material is a bit old but thank you so much. These are fantastic

Nicely explained, wonder why you don’t have a Million views by now? Very informative and to the point. Please keep making more vides.

This is great! Thank you for this!

Thank you for sharing information like this! The practical part of using foreflight and its benefits in real world examples. Going to check out your other videos now!

Wow! Best info I ran into in quite a while. Loved it. My iPad doesn't show departure and arrival plates on the left side like yours, just the binders.Ciao, Marco.

*gasp* - the bookmarks! You just out-nerded a supernerd. Respect!

This is a fantastic video! I wish I'd found it earlier. At least I'll know all of this before my IRA checkride. Thank you.

Would love to see more ForeFlight videos

This is GREAT STUFF!

Awesome thanks

28:57 super cooled LARGE droplet ….help spread the word! Haha. Great video and very helpful, thank you for this.

Just getting interested in flying, Thanks

This is the most helpful video ive founs thus far in trying to get organized for my chechride. Thank you so much!

Got to finish Private, but I'll come back to this video.

Thanks!

Super informative and extremely useful !! Made me a subscriber. Do you have a video on building a binder for private Checkride ?? Thanks Seth -

Hey! love the series, I'm about to take my instrument checkride and your videos have been helping immensely! You mentioned you had a weather information video and I was wondering if you could shoot me a link to that? I was looking through your videos and I wasn't able to locate it. Thanks.

Thank you so much! I always thought Foreflight was under-utilized, but I guess my instructors are just old-school. Couple questions though, you mentioned that with the current regulations, all ifr flights must be filed with an international flight plan... Where can I learn more about this?

I switched to a different airplane that morning which wasn't setup in my EFB (something came up with the plane I had reserved), and then my EFB locked up anyway and had to be rebooted during the oral portion. Fortunately I keep paper backups, and I'm proficiant with manual W&B and performance calculations(while continuing to answer oral questions) so there wasn't a bunch of waiting. I even had my leidos briefing and nav log printed. The plane was the same model and configuration so the nav log didn't change, just W&B, changing tail number and of course fetching the maint logs from the hanger.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL THIS! ❤9:30 did they get rid of the Icao filing quick reference in foreflight because I can only find the regular FAA one now... BUT I DID GOOGLE IT AND FOUND IT on the internet and just had to upload it to foreflight and get it from my imported folder

I would love to see a video on TERPS data

Seth, did you make a video about setting up the logbook/airplane profile in foreflight? I thought in one of your videos you referenced it, but I cannot find it. Thanks in advance!

The bookmarks option is great. The only issue I've had is bookmarks shifting locations when a given book is updated and the old page locations change. Have you seen this too and is there a workaround?

I know most pilots training for industry jobs train on ForeFlight and it's a great tool, so I'm told. However there are other tools available, i.e. FlyQ by Seattle Avionics. Have you looked at FlyQ? What are you comments for a Recreational Pilot such as myself (single engine, land, ~220 hrs)? I'm not interested in any aviation jobs but want to be as professional and absolutely as safe as I can be. I may get an instrument rating in the future but do not plan to fly much in actual IFR conditions. I will be doing a flight review in a few months so I'm starting to prepare. Could you do a similar video using FlyQ for VFR pilots? Thanks for your time, Seth.

Didn't know where else to post or ask this. Could you do a video on weather with Foreflight? Specifically for the PPL and what the DPE is looking for etc..

You can send a flight to plates and it sets up binder for you!

I am a brand new student pilot who is working on a private license for now. I am also subscribed to the Foreflight. My question is, how do I plan my flights leaving and coming back to the same airport? Somehow I’m not seeing an option to plan a flight like that and because of it I can’t do briefing. When I did attempt to plan it this way, I got an error. Is there a way to plan a flight just flying near the airport I take off from? If so, how would I go about it, and how can I create a log of a flight without a real destination? Thank you in advance. I hope my questions make sense.

Was watching this today and when I got to the "ICAO Filing Quick Reference" I noticed it wasn't in my list of item in my ForeFlight folder. Is there somewhere I have to go to get this, or did Foreflight get rid of it with an update? Thanks.

My instrument Checkride coming up next week. for the Flight plan Can I just print the NavLog from Foreflight or do I have to write that down like the VFR one? Thanks you

Do you have any issue with using Jeppesen charts vs. FAA for IFR checkrides?

What subscriptions should I get I’m about to start my instrument rating

I don't see the ICAO filing quick reference guide, only filing guide. Is it because it updated?

do you have a private pilot version of this?

I am not finding the ICAO Filing. Did they rename it or am I just missing something?

I'm literally tabbing my FAR AIM right now... lol

ICAO is not in my version of Firelight, only in FAA folder

😮😮😮😮😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

now do one fore flight plan go and other efb's

A DPE can “fail” your EFB at any time, so you better have an iron-clad backup. A lot of pilots get in trouble by over-relying on ForeFlight and their iPad. Children of the Magenta Line is NOT a compliment.

I didn’t think you could use For flight on check rides.

My instrument really mad at me for using the foreflight too much man.

After just your first sentence I knew it was all worth ignoring. FACT CHECK: “Aviation Supplies & Academics (ASA) publishes the Federal Aviation Regulations/Aeronautical Information Manual (FAR/AIM). The FAR/AIM is a publication from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that has been the industry's standard regulatory reference since 1940.” Why listen to anything else you say when your first line is inaccurate? Click-bait lead line. Who publishes it is irrelevant. The FAA produces them and manages them.

The bookmarks function is trash, when any document is updated, all the pages change...
