A good cockpit app should reduce workload, not create a second cockpit.
The useful test: can you get the answer quickly enough that your attention stays on the flight, the weather, and the decision?
Private pilot oral prep tip: answer weather and performance questions like a pilot, not a glossary.
Better flow:
1. What is the condition?
2. What risk does it create?
3. What calculation or source checks it?
4. What would make you delay, divert, or cancel?
Density altitude rule of thumb: if the day is hotter, higher, heavier, or the runway is shorter, do the performance math before the engine starts.
The number is not the goal. The decision is:
- enough runway?
- acceptable climb?
- clear abort point?
- personal margin?
That is where E6B math earns its keep.
Private pilot oral tip: don’t study weather as definitions. Study it as a go/no-go decision.
A DPE wants to hear: weather picture → risk → personal limits → decision + divert trigger.

The latest FAA pilot data tells a pretty interesting story.
At @FlyingMagazine, we turned the 2025 airmen data into an interactive dashboard so readers can explore the trends for themselves.
A few standout takeaways:
• Student pilots continue to grow
• The pilot population is getting younger
• Women pilots topped 100,000 for the first time

Very saddened about the passing of my friend, USAF Major Gen Bill Anders. Bill, you will always be an inspiration and you will be missed. My deepest condolences to Bill’s family during this difficult time.
Former NASA astronaut William Anders, renowned for capturing the iconic Earthrise photograph during the Apollo 8 mission, has tragically passed away in a plane crash.
