I just registered with DUATS...do any of you pilots use this service often or just on occasion? Do you find it useful?
Thanks,

DUATS
Used it all the time while instructing and to file IFR flightplans. Especially the performance you can enter for your aircraft and have DUATS calculate your time, speed and distance as well as fuel consumption is a nice feature of DUATS flightplans. That was many years ago and I haven't looked at it for a long time. Nice thing about having dispatchers and flying part 121!

CFI, CFII, MEI, AGI, IGI... the whole shablang. I haven't worked as an IP for 4 years. Just kept my licenses current, which reminds me... I need to renew again real soon. In theory I'm still proficient to teach and fly in a small trainer, but practically I'd probably kill myself if I flew a plane with a ref speed slower than 100 knots and a windmill up front instead of blowers in the back. To answer your questions: Yes, I'm an instructor, but no, I'm not still doing it.=RvE=eKim wrote:Lawndart, you are/were a CFI(I)? Do you still do it?
Btw, did you know that the purpose of the propeller is to keep the pilot cool ...Have the engine stop and watch him sweat!

As a private pilot, I use DUATS for all flight planning, as well as other sites like ADDS,but check out this site,very cool, lots of functions so spend some time with it.Cheers
