Instead of dialing Flight Service to file a VFR flight plan, they can submit it from the same app they use to check NOTAMs and METARs. If not on day one, then soon after the basics of stick and rudder are mastered. For student pilots, that matters. The Learning Curve Student pilots often ask whether they need an EFB during training.

A NOTAM closing Alton Bay was still active until 7:00 am that morning. As expected, the NOTAM closing the ice runway did expire and no new notification replaced it. "Wakey-Wakey, Eggs and Bakey" It almost did not happen. Additionally, a promising forecast nonetheless held some risk. I took my own advice and slept until 7:00 am.

Your ailerons and rudder will be neutral once you’re in the crab position. We use the rudder to align the aircraft’s longitudinal axis with the centerline. Simultaneously, we apply ailerons opposite the rudder input. The pilot needs to hold aileron and rudder deflection the entire time.

We had checked weather, Notams, and everything else, and all seemed good. I watched carefully for higher or lower miles on the DME and corrected with a bit of rudder as necessary to keep the miles decreasing. Later, YFB Twr/Wx said that an ice storm had knocked out both NDBs and that no Notam was ever issued.
