My co-owner and I had an enjoyable and eventful trip:
Full write-up here
Nice little trip and well handled! I too would not have extended the gear enroute because I see no reason why the hand pump should be less safe or reliable than then electric pump.
Rich used Aeroplus, which has a benefit of being integrated with SkyDemon so you can import the plan directly. It also has a smartphone App through which you can update and delay filed plans.
Aeroplus is a nice product but allow me to mention that as of this week, autorouter sends out SkyDemon flight plans every time you file a flight plan. You can also download it for all other routes. Click on it in your inbox and your route will open in SkyDemon. Also our site is specifically optimized for mobile devices so you can do the same delay etc. from your phone.
Autorouter just keeps getting better and better
Well done Achimha and Thanks.
Handheld COM fully charged is always in my pilot bag 
Good job!
I particularly liked the part where the GPS a called for a right turn, but you turned left. That’s a nice reminder that you always should know where you are going regardless of what the technology tell you because you may have made a mistake when entering the FPL for example.
I’ve had an autopilot (KAP140) start a (180 deg) turn the wrong way in a procedure turn.
Well handled! If not handled properly, an alternator failure in a SEP can turn into a real emergency really quickly.
See N467BD accident at Zurich in 2008. And that aircraft had two alternators!
