I agree with the majority here. If both presentations of the approach contain the same data, use whatever you prefer and feel more comfortable with. No reason to make it harder on yourself in a high-workload situation in the cockpit. Reading plates should come naturally.

If wx cooperates, we might join y'all.

Oh man, I wish you were in our area.

Yes, this is a real thing and that's what we get for allowing lawyers to breed like rabbits (or drunk rednecks). You don't have many options but if you'd like that a**hat lawyer taken care of, it doesn't take as many zeroes as he's asking. Sorry you have been targeted by these a-holes, wishing...

Most of our local GA airports have fences and gates. But the gates don't really close on any of them. :) I fear the day when crooks find out. And when they also realize how much a used Garmin can go for on fleaBay. And when they put the 2 & 2 together.

I've had mixed luck with dumbazzes who do not know what "niner" means and think it's "nine oh", as in "90". So after providing my 7-digit phone number, I hear "that's 8 digits". The reply "it was 7 but you weren't listening, you dips*it" is usually at the tip of my tongue but I never use it, I...

Jack, glad your friend is alright and nobody got hurt. Like you said, that's all that matters. :thumbsup: This is good airplane crash news for a change. Hoping to hear 0 bad airplane news for a while.

Yes. And yes. If you have any specific questions, feel free to PM me.

Well, they cannot shut down GA VFR in general, they don't rule it. And if an airspace and tower are abandoned (Charlie or Delta), you can self announce and go in. Just like night-time operations at most class D fields. *shrug* Bravo, however, might be a different story.

Sweet. Now imagine the surprise on your guests' faces when you say "Hey Siri, play Glenn Miller" and the tunes start blasting out of this box. :D

HEY! I resent that remark! NOT FUNNY!!!!!!!!!! Now ... would you be so kind to help me shut my door? It's a little tricky ... you gotta jiggle this door handle first, then set it upright, slam the door ... no no again .... yeah, slam it hard ... TOO hard! ... okay, one more time ... better ...

Every hit counts! :D (pun intended)

The new kids don't press the red button and slam the phone down, they simply hurl their $1000 pocket computer at the wall, shattering it into pieces. Great satisfaction. Until they realize that they didn't break a $10 home phone receiver. :D

If you want to put your airplane on a treadmill, it will cost you much more than 1 AMU. But the more important question is: do you think it will take off? :D

Yup. Everybody has a different sense of humor. I personally think it's funny. But the kid explains his motive and effort here.

Agreed, the balloons still fly, the data are still collected, the computers still run and produce forecasts. But someone made a conscious decision that they would shut off the data publishing. So even the RUC soundings webpage is "down". Someone made more conscious effort to go through extra...

Right, I was agreeing with you. And then added my own spin on it. Happiness isn't free. Flying makes me happy. Flying isn't free. But I think I spend less on my airplane than the wife does shopping. :)

Sure. But does your bank account make you grin from ear to ear when you get out of the bank and put your feet on the ground?

Nah, that won't fly. I doubt this thread will get off the ground.

It might not be April 1st yet but I bet you this option would make them a killing on each flight. Plus we'd have other pilots to talk to onboard. The usually unbearable commercial flight might actually become a little more bearable.
