Is true.... is true.... I could do this. Honestly, my swag method for calculating VFR TOD points works pretty well and is quicker than that. I use a modified rule-of-three.... I use the rule of five - alt to lose (dropping the zeroes) * 5. So if you are at 4500 and want to get to pattern...

They have the technology. They know my GS, distance to go, and altitude from the Stratus.... maybe base the TOD on some default you can set like pattern alt or something..... make the fpm descent rate configurable, too. If I can plot a fairly accurate TOD based on a 500 fpm descent rate to my...

I like ForeFlight. Very much, in fact. But. Please. TOD on the map. Please. (yes, I know how to calculate TOD and I do it every flight and mark it with the little drawing tool, but FF knows where the estimated TOD point is because they put it in the flight log, so why for the love of God...

Don't forget the wax... that's good for like... what 5 kts?? All seriousness... we got ours with flap and aileron gap seals, wingtips... previous owner purchased/installed so I didn't take the purchase hit. Seems to make the Arrow faster than others... trues out at 150 kts in cruise which is...

Oh man that was hard to watch. So sorry. Hope you are back up flying soon.

Interested! Can we get them in a trim cut with tight, short sleeves?

Just read through four pages to see if the troll... er OP every poked their head back in... looks like not. I'm sure they are having a good laugh reading all this back-and-forth. One thing is for sure, I do feel dumb now after Tantalum posted this: a.) check. b.) check. c.) check. d.) check...

I have a small duffel that was a gift from work for some reason that works well. I put my old (small) flight school bag inside the duffel bag then a couple pairs of headsets and all the other gear... Works well. and it was Free-ninety-nine. Which is nice.

Just make sure to give a good "SeeeeeYuh!" when you are told your readback is correct.

And still no TOC/TOD on map view. Not that I need it, since it's calculated manually by me anyway.... but damn really? It's in the NavLog for chrissakes.

upwards of 20% higher or lower.

Truest thing I have read on the internet all day

I hope that is not post-use... otherwise.... ya need to hydrate more... :D I, too, have the... um... little john.... lol.. haven't had to use it yet... but it's there in case.

Never. Not one time. Never ever. Nope. Never cursed because the AP meandered a bit or didn't anticipate a turn like it was supposed to. Never... nope. Never cursed because the alternator quit... nope. Never once cursed because the annual kicked over expensive items that had to be fixed. No. No...

Exactly. Now, based on this vague-posting, all I want to do is check out the content!.... oh... wait... no I don't. I love Warren Zevon. Just sayin. Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner... that's just good stuff there.

For me, buying a BATD (or any FAA certified simulator) is not worth the cost compared to the benefit. There is a place with a BATD right by the gate to my hangar where I can (in a pinch) get 6 approaches and a hold for less than $200. I prefer to go with a safety pilot if I need to get...

Second this. My wife and I along with a few friends did a cruise from Amsterdam to Basel along the Rhine. It was amazing. Small ship/boat. Amazing food. Amazing service. Granted, we were by far the youngest on the ship (I think at the time I was 38 or 39....) but we had a blast. Best cruise...

I think there might be.... may be helpful for filing and then copying clearances. That part is pretty spot - on. Then flying the SIDs, getting handed off from tower to approach to center... yeah that's all pretty realistic. Logging in to observe is a good way to start. Or just dive right in...

Totally agree in terms of quality. But they are only on the west coast. By the way, for added fun and hilarity, try virtual-flying in Europe, South America or Asia... The Euro procedures are similar.... yet different. But so much more civilised what with that accent and all. :D

I have more hours spent flying on VATSIM than I am prepared to admit on an internet forum... :D I use X-Plane for fun. And for me, it's not fun unless there are other people on the radio. That's where VATSIM comes in. Is it realistic - pretty much. They controllers do a good job replicating...
