Self-Promotion Saturday
Posted by AutoModerator@reddit | flying | View on Reddit | 4 comments
Do you have a Youtube channel, Instagram account, podcast, blog, or other social media thing you'd like to promote?
This is the time and place! Do remember, though, that rule 2 ("keep it relevant to pilots") is still in full effect.
Have you made a free app, free website, or other free tool for the community?
Keep in mind that rule 8 ("No commercial posts") is still in full effect. If you are promoting a for profit business do not post it here. If you want to advertise then you can buy ads on reddit here.
Make a comment below plugging your work and if people are interested they can consume it.

Hey everyone! I'm Keren and I started my YouTube channel Kerryberryflys about a week ago. I'm 16, based in Canada, and I'm documenting my entire journey to getting my Private Pilot Licence under Transport Canada.
I've posted two videos so far:
📹 What To Actually Expect On Your Transport Canada PPL Written Exam — the real details nobody talks about, from the physical setup of the room to timing strategy
📹 10 Steps to Getting Your PPL in Canada — a full roadmap from zero to checkride
I made these because when I started training I couldn't find Canadian specific content anywhere and I think student pilots here deserve their own resource.
Would genuinely love any feedback on my thumbnails, titles, content, anything at all. Still very new to this and trying to improve with every video!

Hey r/flying — solo dev and GA here. Built Weather.co because I wanted ForeFlight-level features at indie pricing, designed iPhone-first instead of iPad-first.
What's different. You build your own dashboard from a drag-and-drop widget grid — METARs, vertical wind, traffic, fuel, glide, density altitude, sunset, TOD, G-meter, Hobbs — arrange them how you actually think about a flight. The widget grid extends to the Dynamic Island too, so your live readouts (airspeed, altitude, heading, vertical speed) stay visible while you're using another app or have the phone locked. No other EFB does either of these.
The proactive weather piece is the wedge that started the app. It watches METARs along your filed route in flight and alerts you when ceilings drop, vis worsens, or anything trips your personal minimums (VFR to MVFR transitions, etc). You don't have to remember to refresh.
Everything is in sync from planning to in-flight to post-flight review. Plan the route the night before with drag stations and tap-to-add waypoints, get auto-refreshed weather every 5 minutes, fly with the live in-flight dashboard (VSI, density alt, wind triangle, glide, sunset, audio callouts), record the entire flight with the active map overlay, then review it after with the full track. One-tap export to your logbook, to a PDF for a CFI debrief, or as a shareable file for a flying friend.
iPad is fully optimized, not a stretched iPhone build. Side-by-side map and dashboard, larger widget grid that takes advantage of the screen, useful as a primary EFB when you've got the panel space. iPhone is where the Dynamic Island, Lock Screen widgets, App Intents, and Shortcuts shine — but the iPad version is its own thoughtful layout, not a port.
Other things shipped: IMSAFE checklist and personal minimums in preflight, smart route updater with divert/skip/fuel suggestions when conditions shift, multi-aircraft profiles with import/export, cockpit night mode that doesn't kill dark adaptation, auto logbook from live flight tracking.
Pricing is $29.99 a year or $4.99 a month. Free tier covers METAR/TAF lookup, basic planning, and IMSAFE. Free for student pilots and CFIs — DM me with proof of role and I'll send a code.
Not trying to replace ForeFlight if it works for you. Trying to be the iPhone-native, configurable, indie-priced EFB for pilots who want the app paying attention so they don't have to — at a price they don't have to defend to their spouse.
Honest feedback welcome, especially "you'd be more useful if you had X". I read every comment and DM.
Oh - and it's all on device - we take no information from you or store information from you.
Website — TestFlight
There are 100 free codes below
Free codes - Google Spreadsheet - These will also apply to the full version
I do post updates every couple days with any bug fixes (mostly visual oddities) and new features

Look up your ACS codes from your Knowledge Test score report here. FlightInsight has created a new tool to put in ACS codes and see the subject area it covers, as well as recommended readings, to make it easy to review missed items prior to a retest or Checkride. Hopefully, CFIs and their students will find it easier to review using this tool. If it is popular enough, we'll even add some sample questions for each code to approximate what was missed on the real test. Check it out!

This week I had my second client's successful checkride this month - Commercial earlier, then instrument this week. Later this month CFII. Earlier in the year I had a new CFI, RW-to-ASEL Private and RW-to Airplane instrument.
The next couple months include MEI, ATP, and RW-to-ASEL Commercial.
The successful practical test this week was the 40th I've sent someone to in just under four years. I'm 39 for 40.
I generally don't do ab initio Private but will for a genuinely motivated person. If you have flight training needs in the Augusta, GA, area I'm happy to help or refer you to local instructors and schools I trust.
