[@rasim81]

Thank you for the video! I have been using ForeFlight for couple of years and still so much to learn all the options,settings and tricks!

I love your videos especially about fore flight. I’m a student pilot and need all the help. Please make more ForeFlight tips

So glad to hear you enjoy the videos. Will do. Thanks for watching. Wayne (DA40 KSBA)

Love the tip about using the profile view combined with the ruler to check the WIDTH of the pass! What a great idea.

[@GeezerGeekPilot]

Mike, I stumbled on this when looking at a crash in a canyon east of Cedar City UT... too narrow for a 180.

Love this feature on ForeFlight!

I learn something new and more importantly useful from all your ForeFlight / flight planning videos. I love the profile view in ForeFlight, and imho one of the biggest advantages over a panel mounted system. I didn’t know about using the ruler with profile, I had to watch it a couple times as you went over it quickly, but wow that is a great feature I didn’t previously know about. Well done!

Paul, I’m glad you found some tidbits in the videos! Thx for watching. Wayne

Excellent. Playback at 1.75 works well.

Brad, thanks for checking out the video. Not sure I get your comment on Playback? Wayne (DA40 KSBA)

The only thing missing was to add that getting the altitude slider requires turning on the Hazard map layer - one of the one-at-a-time selections - which I suppose many usually have set to one if the weather choices. I'm planning a flight over the Blue Ridge and completely forgot how to enable it!

[@GeezerGeekPilot]

Mark... good catch on the Hazard layer.

[@midlifeflyer]

@@GeezerGeekPilot Yeah but there's a reason I caught it :D

That was a very cool tip regarding the use of the ruler to see how wide a gap there is. I did not know that and will check it out asap. Which oxygen concentrator is that? I had never considered using one in the SR22. I suppose you gave it quite a bit of thought before switching to that. Any comments regarding that will be appreciated!

[@GeezerGeekPilot]

Thanks, Dom, for watching. The oxygen concentrator (OxLife brand) was brought onboard by the patient (and prescribed by his doctor). Both Jack and I use normal bottled O2 in our planes (SR22T, DA40). A friend of mine uses an oxygen concentrator in his T182 and says it works quite well.

@@GeezerGeekPilot Thanks for the quick reply. I have a G2 NA so no onboard plumbing. I do have a semi large O2 tank. Until watching your video I a) didn't know these existed and b) found out other people use them for flying. I'll look into this some more. Thanks and happy landings
