Re: Suggestions to beef up the Focus Fields Program

Thank you for your response. Just wanted to follow up with 2 needs that I see as a customer: - I wish there were more "gamification" programs beyond the cat/i ratings to get a feeling of progress and accomplishment. Cat/i ratings and the alphabet challenges are such programs and they are g...

Suggestions to beef up the Focus Fields Program

Hello, I just finished the ZLA alphabet challenge, which was fun and great to discover the varied scenery of the area. However, many of the legs, especially the last few ones had very little opportunity for radio communication practice/challenges. So now I'm wondering what to do next to give me some...

Afterhour CTAF

Hello, I tend to fly past 11pm PT and was wondering if the CTAF frequencies will still work on PilotEdge after 11pm? In other words, is it possible to talk to other pilots on CTAF frequencies after the closing time of PilotEdge? If so, would any other night owl pilots be interested in doing some CTA...

Switching to ground after landing

Hello, The other day I landed my plane in PilotEdge after a VFR flight. When I was clear of the runway, I switched to Ground frequency, reported that I was clear of the runway and asked for taxi clearance to parking. The PilotEdge controller told me that I should not have switched to Ground without ...

Re: Drones in controlled airspace

Thanks for your response! I will check out those organized group flights options, I did not know about them and it sounds like fun! I did not realize how much work it would be for a controller to arrange 3-4 ppl in the pattern. That makes sense and I understand why adding drones in the pattern would...

Drones in controlled airspace

I love pilotEdge! I only fly VFR and GA at the moment and I think it would be great to have a few drones in the pattern at controlled airports so that we can practice things like extending the downwind, looking for traffic, keeping a safe distance, waiting before taking off... Sure we won't hear the...
