– – ForeFlight with Mike Jesch – –

Mike Jesch will go through using ForeFlight, setting up your airplane for flight plans and performance calculations. Some tips on configuring the weight and balance calculator and why this tool is better than the old pencil and paper method. Then review some basics of flight planning with ForeFlight and weather (if time still available).
