Hello everyone,
I'm an italian student and next year I want to come in USA for my time building before start to study for the ATPL theory.
In order to visit different states and parks in US I had think to rent a plane and do a trip with it.
I love landscapes photograpy and so I will be very happy if I can plan and do a trip that includes Gran Canyon, Rocky Mountains and some other naturalistic scenarios.
Actually I'm current on PA-28 160hp and 180hp, for this trip I think that the 180hp is better.
I think to come in September becouse I red that is a great period to fly in the North.
The trip must be of 90 FH almost and I plan to do in 4 weeks
These are my questions:
1) Can anyone recomended me some flight school or plane rental for this purpose? I'll come from Italy but I don't know where I'll arrive if west or east coast, but east is more pratical.
2) Does anyone had ever done a similar trips?
3) There are a website where I can do a flight plan? In Italy we have this website (http://www.flightutilities.com/) there is something similar in US?
4) In order to avoid to buy dozens of charts is it possible to use only the Jeppesen app or is mandatory to have a fisical chart?
At the moment these was the only questions that I have, I'll appreciate all tips and tricks you will give me.
