Re: handoffs during flight following cat-6

Much to learn, its fascinating to me the fundamentally different mind sets between mechanics and pilots when It comes to ATC, in the R/W I would never presume to prompt ATC for anything while maneuvering around the a/p unless it was life or death serious, a tactic that apparently doesn't work as wel...

Re: handoffs during flight following cat-6

"If you are VFR and you know you have to talk to tower before entering into Class D airspace, why wouldn't you tell the approach controller you had the airport in sight so you could then initiate contact?" Didn't know that was an option. Never occurred to me, nor was it clearly spelled out...

Re: Never again on PE - share your mistakes

Hello, Switched freq without hand off while under radar control during the CAT6. Failed on the spot. Controller unimpressed. Task saturation is a real thing. PE is inappropriate time to figure out how a GTN750 works. Generally speaking, flying over mountains works better than THRU them. JMieras, CAT...
