Re: VFR Flight Following for Real World Pilots

I admittedly do wish I had seen this -- and frankly, i wish there was a way for me to file via foreflight/fss on the ground at a non-towered field to get my following 'in the system'. This would also help my loving fiancé who doesn't like it when i disappear from flight aware! I've heard that puttin...

Re: NEMA GPS device for IPAD

Any updates on this? Count me in for product release and beta testing if necessary! (I have an apple dev account if that helps for debugging...ie: my iPad can be put into debug mode for certain things)

Re: Free scenery, get it while it's hot

Did you get these re-hosted anywhere? let me know if you need help, I've got a collocated server that I'd love to donate if it's necessary.

Re: PE misses Cessna 162 Skycatcher

Keith -- the issue is with FSX, I just did some additional digging around to get the list to look the way I wanted it to. The other thing I've done is modified the 'what it looks like' list so that when I'm flying the sport cruiser, for example, people should see an RV-7 looking model (out of the de...

Re: PE misses Cessna 162 Skycatcher

Well, I've taken the file that actually controls how it shows up and modified it -- so now CRUZ and C162 will show up in x-plane. I'm currently getting a list of all the LSA's that have simulator files available in FSX together and will be sending it to keith + posting it here so that others can con...

Re: [Sat Jun 16] PE Event: TRIPLE THREAT

Keith and all ATC'ers who helped make this happen, I've gotta give some GREAT props to you -- that was amazing fun! I was unfortunately forced to join a bit late when everybody was doing flights to/from/between vny/etc, however there was a solid 5-6 planes in the loop when I first started. There see...

not PE related: DC SFRA question

Hi Guys, I'm not really sure where the best place to ask this is, but I figured this was a good start given the amount of experience on the board (both ATC and Pilots!) A week ago I flew into the DC SFRA (Manassas) VFR for the first time. I called up the weather briefer, who set up my flight plan --...

Re: why not ZOA?

1: Yes 2: Rarely 3: I fly to prep myself for future flights. I consider my radio work to be mediocre at best (especially position reporting on initial call up.). Unfortunately these only take place later at night (11p EST or later) and mostly on weekdays. ironically, i believe that the ZOA airspace ...

Re: PE misses Cessna 162 Skycatcher

Keith -- Any update on when this is going to happen? I've been pushing through looking at the database for any type of light sport aircraft, and its simply not showing up. I've been flying as an RV-7 (roughly the same size/shape as a CZAW Sport Cruiser) but I'd like to see the CRUZ in my pe-aware, a...
