Will I lose my ratings if I cancel

If I cancel and then come back, will I lose my ratings and have to start over again, or will I just pick up where I left off?

Thx
Mike

Re: VFR Chart question. BRAVO AIRSPACE (+) plus sign

So if i'm understanding this correctly, I could fly at 500' and NOT be in the bravo. Only 501' up to 7,000' is the bravo. Is that correct? I doubt that there is a pilot/autopilot/or altimeter that's that accurate. I'd be happy if I could hold +/- 50' lol

Re: VFR Chart question. BRAVO AIRSPACE (+) plus sign

I must be slow or something. I still don’t get it. The simplest way I could put it is if I want to stay out of the bravo I fly above the top number or below the bottom number. If the + sign means “upward from above” what does that mean? If I see +05 for the bottom number, is the bravo above 500’ or ...

VFR Chart question. BRAVO AIRSPACE (+) plus sign

Sorry to take the easy way out here, but I’ve been looking for an answer to this question for a while and I’m hoping someone will have the answer here. In the New York bravo airspace just south of KJFK there is a shelf marked 7000 over +500. And there are a couple more instances in the combined brav...

Re: Changes to my 172. How did this happen.

Thanks Kevin, Keith, and thingsis,

You hit the nail right on the head, thingsis. Now the mystery is over, and I know I'm not in the twilight zone. Although, I don't think that change took place right after I updated. That's why it was such a mystery.

Anyway, Thx much!

Changes to my 172. How did this happen.

I might be in the twilight zone here, I'm not sure, but let me explain what happened. I apologize if I'm posting a question here that I should be asking somewhere else, but here goes. Ive been busy lately so not a lot of time to play around with the sim. Anyway I finally found some time, so I fired ...

Disconnecting from the network

Does it cause any problems if you disconnect from the network in the middle of a flight?

Re: Learning to fly IFR

Thx for the replies and especially the links. Good stuff! One of the biggest problems I have is with sim flying. I wish I could fly a sim plane as easily as I fly a real plane. My biggest problem is with views. I the real world I just turn my head, not remember what button to push. Ive been at this ...

Re: Flight following to an uncontrolled airport

In reality, airports are a lot easier to see then in the sim. On a "severe clear" day/night one can see the airport 30 or more miles out. You must have some great eye sight! All I can say is all the airports I've ever flow into I couldn't see until about 6-7 mi out, at most. Especially a ...
