Unless your Comanche is good to 17,000ft, it's not going to work on the route you had filed because the highest MEA is 16,400. What altitude had you planned to fly the route? Regarding the Connie, I'm guessing she's /A or /U for the equipment suffix (ie, no RNAV). Looking at the low enroute chart, ...

Fair enough. I'd venture to say that you could ask the controller to say the route slowly and to spell the identifiers, as you would in real life if having difficulty copying the clearance. As to why the route was changed, I'm not sure, but I can try to find out for you. When did this occur? This h...

The first waypoint was BRK, and I tried twice to write the clearance down, but it was given so fast, i couldn't keep up and finally decided to call it a day.

Trying to understand when i make a flight plan, what is a good route, and what isn't. I made a route on Skyvector from from KCOS to KGJT. The route was Stamy V 108 DBL V 134 Paces. This same route was listed on Skyvector and also on PEaware and was used a month ago. Just trying to understand the log...

I have about 20+ hours on Pilot edge and every time I fly I learn a couple of things. Luckily I have been watching the workshop videos on IFR and that is keeping my head above water ( barely) Just now I did an obstacle departure from KFMN, and just learned about that last night with the IFR on route...

Yeah, I did a search on banners on the forum and came up with this thread. ( the one and only)

I am surprised that there are no Pilot Edge banners, which could be used on other flight sim forums. Great way to spread the word as in free advertising. .

I use the GTX regions from Orbx and also a few of the free Orbx airports are in that region. The free NA airports state that you need the Orbx Base pack, but I installed it in P3D without the basepack and it works perfectly. https://orbxdirect.com/product/ftx-global-na-pack

Thanks for the input, just wanted to make sure my thinking was OK.

Still confused about departing an airport with a SID. If the SID specifies a heading from the airport, and then a turn to another heading at a certain altitude, say 5000 ft, does the pilot automatically make that turn at 5000, or does the pilot wait for ATC to direct the turn from the original headi...
