Re: P3D PE ATIS sound fading (tried fixes)

Glad you got it fixed. I think it's a Realtek windows sound driver issue.

Re: TEC Route Classification

Thanks. I know turbocharged vs turboprop. In a prior life I was was an F-14 pilot and eventually the Navy’s Director of Aviation Propulsion and Power. Now I fly GA, commercial & instrument. But TEC routes not so much... it just didn’t seem logical to put an airplane cruising at 250kts and climbi...

Re: TEC Route Classification

I filed the M class route for a new airplane for me, the turbocharged Legacy, cruise 250kts. I was told to that was incorrect. I assume P would be correct?

Re: Class D Airport Departure Procedure Question

2. No need to report clear of the airspace unless specifically told to do so. You need to remain on tower frequency until clear of the airspace, then you can change freqs whenever you would like. I realize OP said he was not receiving flight following, but if you do get FF on the ground at a class ...

Re: What to do when frequency congested?

Fly your pattern and make the call as soon as you can reporting your current position. The controller knows you’re there and more than likely they’ll come on and clear you to land or option even before you make the call. In any event they understand and are painfully aware of the radio congestion. I...

Re: P3D PE ATIS sound fading (tried fixes)

Payback Time !!! Thanks mate. Would that be the Flight One GTN750 Prrepar3D by any chance ? Merv No, for the RXP GTN 750. I installed it in the MFD of a Phenom 100 which has a G1000 so I wrote a lua script to sync input in the GTN transponder to the G1000 PFD. Then took your code to send PE mode C ...

A little payback for all the great work you did on Mode C. I've taken your work and expanded on it to add functionality to transponders like the GTN750.
Have a g'day Merv.

Re: Never again on PE - share your mistakes

Over 4 years and over 330 hours on PE (and many hours IRL), I finally did it... landed without clearance. I had just finished installing extensive mods to the Phenom 100 that includes new engines, spoilers, wx radar etc, and I was so preoccupied with the airplane that after being cleared for the vis...

Re: Questions about practice at non towered airports and cli

Mark, I fly on PE almost every day and I’d be happy to meet at a non towered airport of your choice and do some circuits so you can hear proper position calls. I have both ZLA and WUS. You can either PM me here, or post on Discord as Scott mentioned. I check them both fairly regularly. Maybe we can ...
