Btw, GP is 99.99% never the problem when it comes to route rejection. The client is just the messenger and uses the Leidos API.

This is my understanding as well. If an airport does not have an approach, then it has not been assessed and thus one can not assume a diverse departure.

SO…tonight….(my final night commercial solo XC): “Upon reaching controlled airspace, DIRECT SBJ expect RV V30 then AF…” I read that back with glee! At least N90 made it explicit. The flight was uneventful, i.e. it was awesome.

It’s actually really, really awesome and keeps me very proficient on the radios. 20/month is A LOT cheaper than actually burning 100LL. Remember, you are talking with real controllers so the phraseology is exactly the same as the real thing.

@midlifeflyer Mark, I quote: “Yeah backtracking is what's expected, but if you call us in a timely fashion it doesn't matter. Its not necessarily just lost comms either, if the frequency is very busy and it takes a while to get you identified and climbed it can be a problem.”

Try it.

That's my understanding.

They are not done yet is what I suspect.

Note the airport has brand new runways! And soon taxiways.

Mark, it could indeed be more of an LoA thing. I think joining V30 is the most logical thing to do. Btw, now you know why I was so scarred when I left LNS...

i talk to Russ all the time!

Murder vs. Accident

I agree with that on principle at least.

No on the second one for sure. SBJ and N51 are very different obviously, and I don’t think anyone is confusing the two. I don’t know about leaving out SBJ and what would happen. My guess is a full route clearance. A corollary: When I was training for my instrument I would go to KABE a lot...

It’s not the crew I’m actually referring too (except time in type). It’s the speed and trajectory of the nose dive and the “fact” that no catastrophic structural damage has yet to be found in the initial analysis of the FDR or in the nature of the crash (i.e critical parts weren’t found miles...

I think this is pretty much what I think is the correct action (despite being corrected several times).

PlaneEnglish isn’t great. PilotEdge is where it is at!

Funny. But obviously this was more chat/forum talk. BUT as you pointed out, that’s what we will get sometimes, “Upon entering control airspace, direct SBJ V30…” and of course sometimes we don’t. My last flight gave me ZERO instructions other than AFed (which had SBJ V30 in it). This is where I...

700 AGL

I’m asking another N90 controller who originally said he wanted two lefts. Maybe we are just being told wrong. What’s getting me upset is the conflicting information I’m getting from a number of folks. I agree, joining V30 makes the most logical sense and what I use to do during training. I...
