    Home IFR training sims?

    Only bummer thing about FSX is a lot of procedures/approaches in the sim are way out of date. i.e. RNAV procedures. I tried a few suggested solutions to update navaids and fixes, but doesn't seem to work well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    KEDC vs KGTU

    +1 for EDC. I place high value on service/experience, have always had great experience there. Agree with the one post that mentioned high rental car price... Perhaps only downside. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    XC pit stop preference

    Hey all - I am planning another longer cross-country (KADS to KLAM), and I'm looking at a good pit stop half way to stretch legs and bathroom stop. Which got me thinking, what's everyone's distance preference for pit stops for a longer X-country anyway? I think I've done as far as 400nm...

    IACRA question

    Hello all - I'm currently a Private, instrument ASEL, and I will be doing my commercial checkride next week. I have one question on the IACRA application (I think this was paper last time I did it): I noticed after completing the online form, my instrument rating didn't automatically...

    How much cellular data does filing an IFR flight plan use?

    Usually you can check data usage day to day on their website (maybe?). I have Verizon and you can see your data usage. Run an experiment by filing a flight plan and seeing what is used the next day. Probably negligible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Do you prefer being on top or bottom?

    Personally, my lack of IFR mountain flying in high altitudes helps me set a personal minimum. I suppose if IFR flight was planned ahead of getting in the aircraft, where I am mentally prepared for CFIT avoidance, high altitude ops, etc, I may feel differently. But if the clouds just appeared...

    Yes. This is a feature that needs to be added to flyQ IMO. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    FlyQ first 200 - $40 for a year

    Yeah, thus far my only gripe is the inability to file STAR/DP in a succinct manner like you can on a regular flight plan form. (i.e. The app will spell out the entire route instead of JPOOL8.ACT etc etc). Also, if I remember correctly, you can enter STAR/DP into the search field on Foreflight...

    FlyQ first 200 - $40 for a year

    KLAM Feedback

    Hey all - I am looking for any pireps out there for KLAM (Los Alamos, NM). I've seen the arrival/departure restrictions due to the National Lab. Airnav only lists a co-op SS fuel pump on property. We are making the trip either late summer or early Oct before NM snow season. Any feedback on...

    Any "advanced" simmers in here?

    I also grew up with it, and like everyone here, attribute it to my entry into real flying. What a great tool! I recently started to get back into it to practice IFR procedures. Has anyone had experience updating FSX with the latest approaches/navaids? Or does the latest FSX steam have more...

    maybe I'm crazy.....

    I didn't think it was a requirement to be a pilot to call for a briefing. When you're a student you call FSS with a student cert. Wonder which regs states this requirement. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
