And once you've selected your destination, the GPS just draws a path directly from you to where you want to go and then gives you turn by turn directions. Well, guess what!

That which goes up. must come down. The life and times of a student, a pilot and a student-pilot. So a couple people I know have tossed some questions my way and I plan to do my best to answer them. starting now.

For all of that scary stuff to happen, an entire chunk of the plane would have to be blown away. bigger than the doors, even. And once everything equalizes, its just like having yo...Now, ...
