Foreflight does all that stuff.

I just wish we would putt in the better radar and replace the screens.

I think we will get row when we get neos and it's free or if we have multiple jetted sliding off runways.

They are replacing all the radars in the 737's with the new multiscan units. I'm not sure why they aren't doing the same in the 320's, I've heard they are less than reliable.

The old ones are truly an art to master. It sure would be nice if they replaced them with the multiscan to make it fleet wide standard, plus standard with the 330 and 350.

I so hate to move the C Series thread off of Airbus radar, but the first deliveries are now scheduled for Aug instead of March. Pratt production issues...Tariff still TBD...

I heard this for the first time the other day but i guess theyre saying the screens have to be replaced before the radar to make the radar display on the nd. Or something like that.

I thought all of it had been shot down but it turns out they're still trying to make a business case for it so it's not dead. Alabama's chances of making the sec championship may be dead but new radar and screens are still a remote possibility.

HI SATCHIP!

Korean Air also has delivery problems because of the Pw1500g.
To be honest, I'd be happy if we get in August and not in 2020.

Cool. Does foreflight warn you of an overweight condition on short final? Or advise you to reject a take off in case of short runway? What inputs does it use to do it?
Just curious....
