Hello fellow SD'ers 
I am playing with the trial version of SD and it looks very good.
Not used it in anger yet, but I'm trying to find out if I 'really' need a live internet connection at the airfield or while flying?
At the moment I'd prefer to do the planning at home, then take the 15min drive to the field and go fly...without the faff / distraction of internet or trying to find wireless connection.
Thanks,
Deker.

You can plan a route anywhere at any time, and save it locally, without an internet connection. You only need an internet connection to download the latest weather and NOTAM, or to upload/download a route to/from the cloud. Some pilots find a 4G connection in the air useful for updating weather en-route, but it's not essential.

Mike
