Boundary Bay (CZBB) to Powell River (CYPW)
Since obtaining my PPL (private pilot license) in the summer of 2013, I’ve been looking for opportunities to get out for morning flights to enjoy the beautiful area around Vancouver. I had a friend and co-worker tell me about his recent flight to Powell River and I thought it would be a great opportunity for a morning flight before work!
This flight also marks the first time I’ve tried the aviation app ForeFlight, in conjunction with a Bad Elf GPS Pro 2200. I have to say, I am very happy with the app and GPS combo and am really looking forward to not needing to buy a new CFS every 56 days! Not to mention the flight planning portion was sped up by a factor of at least 5 having the live METARs and TAFs, distances, headings and calculated fuel burns all updated after each tap of the screen.
