Re: Announcing IFR too many times. sop?

I agree with that as well, one can easily overdo it. Thanks and those manuals are actually pretty awesome and a good learning tool when starting out! Takes some mystery out of the system when learning this stuff and notably Canada and US are similar but different.
Have a great day Pete

Re: Announcing IFR too many times. sop?

Interesting. I actually fly ifr allot in the real world. I’m not shy ever about telling atc what I’m up to. Even if it is repetitive. Better safe than sorry. . I’m sure you guys see and hear much which is hilarious online. The interesting thing is it’s hard enough to fly the sim with precision at ti...
