Yeah this is a case of both ILS's being active and the 732 picked up the opposing side's ILS( since they often share the same frequency). Selecting the shut down tailwind ILS's will help, but this can also cause trouble often times because it isn't perfect in deciding what ILS to shutdown( i.e.: if ...

Isn't the boundary layer the place where the air meets the top of the wing (i.e. the lower parts which come into contact with the wing) and causes either a laminar or turbulent flow? My understanding of this isn't that great (its actually rudimentary at best), so I'm having trouble understanding wh...

Thanks for these tips. Questions for those who know what they're doing: 1. After landing, when a tower controller tells you "taxi via A N", are you still obliged to call ground control for taxiing permission? That is, is this instruction from the tower controller informative only, or also...

You contact tower on 126.8 since 20R is your departure runway. No need for ground to hand you off. So as soon as you stop at 20L on Lima, change to 126.8, call ready to depart, and they will tell you to cross 20L and clear for takeoff on 20R.

Well I decided to fly with Excel guys( including Cat) back to KLAS. Apparently the Excel guys like to race to DAG. Me being in the 727 and the rest in 732's, I thought and was going to win since the 727 is a faster cruiser, but Peter had other plans. Cat and me neck and neck heading to DAG..... http...

Busy day out of KLAS today. Had I believe about 5 Excel guys departing out and thankfully I got out in front of them.

I can only imagine if you didn't hit a button that disconnected the autopilot or anything, the weather update was so sudden and a drastic change that the wonderful yaw damper sent you over.

Will it feed the weather to X-Plane or is it simply a way to give pilots a way to let us know the active runway that PE controllers are using and the weather they are basing things off?

Thanks guys for coming out! It was really fun.

Reminder: The event is today! Some things to know before arriving! The north ramp and taxiway B is closed off for the event for VIP's( aka for non-participatory aircraft). All participating people please use the southern ramp and taxiway Alpha for parking. :) Heavy parking will be the helipads locat...
