Big Congrats Doug!!
Sheesh, I feel like such a slacker with my Garmin Pilot App now......time to do some more exploring.
In addition, the AviationWeather.Gov site has added a new “GFA Tool” that has replaced the Area Forecast and then some in a BIG way. You can select your weather (clouds, icing etc) and display it hourly. Finally there is a cloud tops forecast!

Congrats!
Way to go Doug. Always good to keep moving forward and challenging ourselves. Feels good when you get to the other side. ATP on the burner?

Congrats Doug! If the RV had retract I would start workin on this but you still need to log that retract time if I'm not mistakin? [ed. Sort of correct, Walt. Turbine time counts as complex now. I guess the logic is if you can run a turbine engine you can pull a gear handle. I've 20+ hours in a C208B now and that was more than enough to satisfy the regs. vr/dr]
The weather shot also had me looking close at your picture of GP, I don't think Foreflight will do that.
An app I recently signed up for is WeatherSpork. It has a couple of features that I really like, Profile view is similar to your pic but has clouds/visibility/icing with the added ability to slide departure time to find the best window for a flight. At $79 it's not exactly cheap but it also has a ton of weather training videos which I am working my way through.

Congrats! I recall the Commercial as being a fun, low-stress checkride. Remember, too, that it's not a rating, but a certificate level. Should have been on the oral...

Nice. Congrats Douggie!
It is nice to be able to do it in the RV. I did my commercial back then in a Cessna bomber, and it felt "dirty".
