First time commenting on your channel. Just joined your channel, too, as a supporting member. Have enjoyed your videos for some time now. I am 60+ years old and, after many starts and stops, plan to realize my dream of getting my private pilot license this year. Excited to see your videos about your upcoming around-the-world trip. Very inspiring! Thanks for all you do to create and put up these excellent videos!
Welcome to the channel Mark and thanks for subscribing and becoming a member. That’s brilliant to hear you’re planning to get your PPL this year, I wish you all the best with that. And thanks for joining me on the RTW adventure, cheers, stef
i would get notability it is around $5 and you can annotate, write notes and everything you could possible want, it is made for the apple pencil! it is a great app and defiantly if you are copying long taxi, or flight routing instructions as you have unlimited space and you can go back and delete things if need be. give it a try, i think it will make a large difference!!!! @stefan Drury
Regarding 🏎: since I’m originally Dutch, that’s an easy one: Max Verstappen of course💪🏻 FYI: I now live (and fly, PPL) in Switzerland, so if you wanna fly the Swiss Alps (and r looking for a free place to stay), your welcome. My base is “the flying ranch”, LSPN, in the heart of Switzerland. Anyway: enjoy your adventure😎
Doesn't ForeFlight replace like 4 of them? Does flight plan filing worldwide, has Jeppesen Charts (even geo referenced), can use Flightstream, etc. Okay you can't update your Garmin hardware but i assume you don't do that every day.
Stephan, I take it you hit the lottery? How can you possibly afford this around the world flying adventure? You just mentioned that it’s over $3000 for just the one app,, and that’s not including the cost of Garmin. Then you have to figure in the cost for all the fuel you’re going to be using. Your gonna put some serious miles on EYZ let alone how many hours. By the time you get back it’s going to be time to overhaul the engine and yearly annual. Send me your easy money making program so that I may take part to get my leather crafting venture up and off the ground. I hope you have a lot of sponsors otherwise it’s going to be one painfull adventure. And adventure is what it’s gonna be. Don’t get me wrong I hope you can pull this around the world trip off. It will be the adventure of a lifetime.
Thanks for sharing and explaining the app features. I saw you reference the Windy app some videos ago. I checked it out and have been using it ever since!
How are you going to manage the 28 day Airac cycle? Does your system automatically update the data? Will it work if you get to your aircraft and a download is needed and you don't have an internet connection?
Hey, I’m not sponsored by them but I checked, you can to all the same functions including filing with Australia, New Zealand, eurocontrol and the FAA, sending routes to your plan, and have all your jepp charts in ForeFlight for under US$ 2000. All in one app...
I find that Runway HD covers all i need. Can also overlay Charts so when I zoom in I get the OS Chart for Night Flying to zoom in and see whats on the ground just in case that 'Exciting' engine failure occurs when Night Flying
I am glad you also mention both; SkyDemon and ForeFlight... - Two pretty good aviation app´s as well. Plus I totally agree on your choice of RocketRoute and Windy !!!! :)
So I'm not going to be there as I'm sitting on the other side of the world in Germany. My fav team? Red Bull Holden... Not really interested in F1, I'm more into Supercars. If you're shooting a video maybe check out that series as well. Racing's closer, harder and overall just better and more exciting than in F1.
Yeah the V8s have some really close races. I've been to a few in the past, and it's a great to have them there for the F1 weekend as well. Thanks Alex.
Duolingo is probably a good app to have, so that you can learn some basic phrases for where you're going, also Microsoft Translator / Google Translate.
And one or more powerbanks just in case, also useful for when there's no wall outlet nearby. Also useful is to bring a power strip so you can charge multiple devices with a single travel adapter.
I have a USB charger that fits in the auxiliary power. A fuse is built into the unit, as an added bonus. If that doesn't work, I carry a power bank. For long trips, I carry 2 power banks. Also, FBOs are generally happy to charge your devices behind the desk while you grab lunch.
Big fan of Windy myself. Too bad the route planning isn't available on the iPad app. I use Autorouter.aero for flight planning. It suggests VFR and IFR routes and shows you a vertical cross section of weather planning and NOTAMs as well. It is well suited for European flying.
@@StefanDrury @Stefan Drury Hi Stef! I have a question: in my next episode, I'm sharing my personal favorite TH-cam channels. Your channel is one of them ;) Can I include a 10 or 15 sec part of one of your videos (screen grab) to my episode, to promote your channel?
I once got my iPad overheated while it was strapped to my knee. It was in an aircraft with a full glass canopy where it was still exposed to the sun at all times. Lesson learnt.
Excellent information Stefan. Looking forward to your Round the World Flight! And the Melbourne F1 GP. My F1 Team is the one with the Aussie driver/s -> from MELBOURNE VIC :-)
I have FltPlanGO on my iPad and it is free. At least in the US you can have all of the charts, Victor routes, approaches and departures and a database of all of the airports with information such as FBOs, fuel prices, METARs and TAFs and other information. You just need an email address to get all of it. With you being in Australia, I don't know if you would just get the AUS information or if you could get all of the info that I do. One reason that Jeppesen is so expensive now is that it is a part of the Boeing Company along with ForeFlight.
Hey Mate, no tips on apps, but I would get a $US and Euro account asap and get some funds into them as the $A is going down the toilet again .50cents here we come. 😱😱
Nope. In some instances you need a backup but that can be paper or electronic. But I’m choosing to have a duplicate electronic backup on all flights because, well, bad things happen.
Yes, great apps, especially WINDY. I remember watching a video with Iron Maiden Lead singer Bruce Dickinson flying an Eclipse Jet and his copilot David Hayman explaining the RocketRoute App on the iPAD as they fly. Thanks Stef
Just grabbed Windy, which is also available for Android. Wow. Wow! Not quite as aviation focused as Foreflight or Garmin, but wow! A definite permanent addition. Thanks for the tip!
Would love to see the F1 in Melbourne Stef - when we walked around Albert Park in January we imagined what it would be like with the F1! I agree with your choice of apps use the same ones myself in Europe. BTW why have you subscribed to Jeppessen charts globally when Garmin Geo-referenced Approach Charts (FlightCharts) are available for most locations but especially cover the US and Europe and would show on your GTN as well as your iPad?
Your videos whilst flying are really cool, you filming on a Grand Prix circuit...very cool, can you not combine the two and fly over and film the race on Race day? ha ha.. great work Stef!
hi Stef, how are you? I just first wanted to tell you awesome videos, I love your channel and I have been a subscriber for the last two or three weeks now. I have a question about your trip. I was wondering if you were coming to Colombia, since and I don't want to sound cocky but, I have been living here for the last three years and I am currently 16 and doing my PPL (private pilot license) on a cirrus sr20.
Hey Stefan, great informative videos especially for a low hour pilot like me. If you’re ever flying thru YBHI would be cool to meet and check out the Cirrus.
It gets better and better! This is going to be amazing. :-) I've only ever flown privately across the Canada-U.S. border. The Americans want eAPIS entering and leaving the country plus a chat with the CBP dudes when you land. Coming back to Canada you just phone it in. 99% of the time they don't even meet you at the airport, just do the customs stuff over the phone. "Here's your report number. Have a nice day."
I look forward to going through Canada in that case! Yeah I'm sure some countries will be more bureaucratic than others, but I'm not rushing and will respect the systems in each region I fly through even if they take longer than others. Thanks Laura.
Nice selection of Apps. Why not try to get sponsorship for Garmin Pilot for this trip? Windy is amazing, I use it for nearly all my flights. Easy and Free, and actually better visualization of the weather situation than the Dutch and German national weather services have to offer (which you have to pay for).
Thanks VFRAv, glad you like Windy too, amazing app. And thanks re Garmin sponsorship, maybe, who knows. I could try and approach Bose again, but y'know... :)
This was very cool but you are at risk of making this look easy. But you're right, you'll need some Netflix or whatever plus I recommend 'Monument Valley' for hours of mental stimulation.
Yeah it's changed a lot over the years, but there's still something really special about Ferrari of course. And anything related to Italy is fantastic in my humble opinion, love the country, the people, and yes the pasta!
3 blade for the RTW trip. It’s stronger than the composite blade, and a tiny bit less drag in the cruise. So I’m happy to sacrifice a little climb performance and the aerodynamic braking benefits of the 4 for the economy of the 3.
Thanks Kim, Jeppesen gives me all the charts (Instrument Approaches, taxi diagrams, etc) for when I'm flying, whereas the Briefing Pack for RocketRoute gives me current information along the specific route I'm flying and forms I need to get in and out of countries. Think of it like RocketRoute is preparation for the flight, Jeppesen is how I fly the flight.
Stefan, you can measure distance on the iPad with windy too. I have the Norwegian version here in Canada and its under meny: distance and planning. Good luck
@@marcel-koks have a look at the right side bottom. Its a house, a thunder cloud and three lines. You get up menu, then click on the second option, and then menu. 5th from the top says measure and planning :) Hope this helps
I was gonna recommend you to create an autorouter account, but seems rocket route already does the same. It basically checks for the optimal route, taking current and filed traffic into consideration, aswell as giving an alternate as need be. It is a service by eurocontrol. And you can, by what I have been told file your flight plan directly there. You also can save different airplanes as a preset including all those things such as perfomance charts and basically have the entire weight and balance and so on be done automatically. Anyway, before i write much more, I am really excited about seeing your preparations for the upcoming trip and the videos of the trip. Best wishes
Cheers Blackout. I've heard of Autorouter but as you say I can get similar functionality from RocketRoute for routing especially through Eurocontrol and can validate a flight plan before I file it. Makes pre-planning a lot easier and RR does have weight and balance and aircraft performance capabilities, but I'm not using those. Only using it to check/file flight plans.
I totally agree about Windy. How is it free? Brilliant app.
They have a patreon www.patreon.com/windyforecast
Because it has that much Malware (etc) it should be renamed Mally 😐 But your right BEST APP !

Nice video thanks ! but why filming it at the F1 ?
Why not? Thought it would be more interesting than just filming it in a room or in one location. Just trying to keep it varied and creative.

Danny Ric all the way
He’s one of the best things about Formula One, let’s be honest.
Netflix for sure. Download a bunch of shows and will make the long boring legs just a bit less boring, lol
Haha. We can do rock paper scissors for who gets to choose which show.
No Foreflight??
That one is just a given. He said in the video he has both Garmin Pilot and Foreflight

My base is “the flying ranch”, LSPN, in the heart of Switzerland. Anyway: enjoy your adventure😎
besides windy all of that is in foreflight, I'd prefer that over having a separate app for every feature. cheaper too
What a great adventure. Best of luck to you Stefan. Will be following.
Thanks Jason, will be great to have you following the adventure.
What about foreflight?
Definitely Netflix
Doesn't ForeFlight replace like 4 of them? Does flight plan filing worldwide, has Jeppesen Charts (even geo referenced), can use Flightstream, etc. Okay you can't update your Garmin hardware but i assume you don't do that every day.

Any reason you didn't buy Jepp plates through Garmin Pilot? They're quite a bit cheaper than directly from Jepp
Why not ForeFlight ?
SkyDemon should be there (yet to watch your vid as its Bedfordshire for me). Its world class piece of software
I was there as well on race day 1 and the race was cancelled due to 1 person got Covid-19. It was an awful feeling.
Thanks for pointing out WPDL in the video mate! Big fan from East Timor.
This may be a silly question, but are you permitted to fly IFR in European and US airspace?
Thanks for sharing and explaining the app features. I saw you reference the Windy app some videos ago. I checked it out and have been using it ever since!
That's great Kurt, it's really awesome hey?
What about portable GARMIN GPS, NAV COM and HF radio?
That's good info. I'm sure there's been changes but still... a great starting point. Cheers
0:39 Well that didn't age well....
How are you going to manage the 28 day Airac cycle? Does your system automatically update the data? Will it work if you get to your aircraft and a download is needed and you don't have an internet connection?
Fully committing to Garmin Pilot would make it 3 Apps in 1, wouldn't it?

Baminokrat I wondered that.
And you will have internet/wifi/roaming at all the airports you are visiting?
Skyvector is quite useful but i don't believe they have an app.
I find that Runway HD covers all i need. Can also overlay Charts so when I zoom in I get the OS Chart for Night Flying to zoom in and see whats on the ground just in case that 'Exciting' engine failure occurs when Night Flying

I love Stefan too! A trip around the world sounds amazing!
cbntlee thanks!
PracticalFarmer420 I appreciate the support!
perfect, I see all the prices, and thought: wow, finally an app thats not totally overpriced. german VFR charts: 799 anually... WAT?
Flo Moose I feel you... I use Foreflight with the included Jeppesen Charts for Germany which adds up to 145€ for the Basic Plan.
I used to live right next to the Aussie Grand Prix it’s lit
So I'm not going to be there as I'm sitting on the other side of the world in Germany. My fav team? Red Bull Holden... Not really interested in F1, I'm more into Supercars.

Always love a good coffee recommendation, thanks.
sadly the grand prix never happened in 2020
AeroWeather Pro, AeroAltitude
It’s going to be amazing, now do you need someone to come along and hold the ipad for you?? Happy to volunteer
I’m not a pilot and watched this lol. Interesting stuff.
Shame the F1 got cancelled. Can’t wait for the rest of the year though.
Lol, if you keep watching aviation related videos you will en up wanting to be a pilot
windy isn't free anymore :(
Duolingo is probably a good app to have, so that you can learn some basic phrases for where you're going, also Microsoft Translator / Google Translate.
Windy rulz! Great news is many people started using it recently.
Absolutely dominant app!
Be sure you add extra (recharging) batteries for your many devices.
And one or more powerbanks just in case, also useful for when there's no wall outlet nearby. Also useful is to bring a power strip so you can charge multiple devices with a single travel adapter.
I have a USB charger that fits in the auxiliary power. A fuse is built into the unit, as an added bonus. If that doesn't work, I carry a power bank. For long trips, I carry 2 power banks. Also, FBOs are generally happy to charge your devices behind the desk while you grab lunch.

Thanks Cyril, a few people have mentioned autorouter. Haven’t used it personally but might give it a look. Thanks.
Doesnt Garmin Pilot cover all the charts Jepperson has?
Both Garmin Pilot and ForeFlight allow you to link to a Jeppesen subscription. However, if you use both, you need two Jeppesen subscriptions.
wait... you dont use foreflight!?!?
It doesn’t have the functionality or coverage here in Australia that I need unfortunately.
Get candy crush ;)
Haha, imagine my score after a 4 month trip!
In Europe, use SkyDemon! Excellent app, which I use constantly! Very, very good software! 👌🏻 Just start using it, you'll love it too!
Yeah as I mention towards the end I've used SkyDemon a little before, was very impressed by the limited experience I had of it.

The pink Mercedes looks fast this season as well
OOOoooo a formula 1 fan i see
Is Jepp FD still supported ?
Hope so, I’m using it now!
Hey Stefan, great informative videos especially for a low hour pilot like me. If you’re ever flying thru YBHI would be cool to meet and check out the Cirrus.
Awesome video! Distance and planing is now working on the windy mobile app btw.
I’ll be there for the F1, hopefully Renault can get up but probs not 😂😂
Another down to earth and easy to follow video! Thank you. Cheers. 👍👍
Hi Stefan, what about Fore flight it is similar to garmin pilot but from foreflight you can also file a flight plan
Excellent selection of apps, none of them are limited to just a single region!
Nice! Hope to meet you when you land at RPMD!
It gets better and better! This is going to be amazing. :-)

Hi Stef who / how will you be organising “overfly or entry permits” and ground logistics? Will this form one of your TH-cam’s ?
Yes I’ll cover this in a future video, but I have a company helping with clearances and handling through certain regions.
Flypad.. that's a great pun for your iPAD on more than one level!
The most important question that has been bugging me is whether you’ll be flying with a three of four Bladed prob. For (fuel) efficiency and stuff..
3 blade for the RTW trip. It’s stronger than the composite blade, and a tiny bit less drag in the cruise. So I’m happy to sacrifice a little climb performance and the aerodynamic braking benefits of the 4 for the economy of the 3.
Great post. Having very limited XC exoerience, what is Jeppesen providing that was not included in your RocketRoute briefing package?
