when the aircarft gets to the turning point it turns to sharp If you're using P3D or FSX, look at the aircraft.cfg file for your particular plane. Check the [autopilot] section and look for the "max_bank" parameter. If set too high, the autopilot will give more than a standard-rate turn a...

Yeah... I have both SNA and SAN from LatinVFR. Wish that didn't happen, but it does on both sets of scenery. I don't think it's limited to that developer though... I've seen similar effects in other places.I figure that one day, either Lockheed-Martin or the developers will figure it out.

Olive Branch (MS) Tower teams up with FAAST to put on an annual safety topic / Q&A session. Works great here, and there's always a huge turnout! Give your local FAAST rep a call!

Nope! And frankly, I couldn't imagine even trying to use one of those things! Been flying since 1987, and that situation never came up!

On a related note: what do real pilots use for a lavatory in general aviation aircraft, anyway? Carry a portable head?

When I fly with my non-pilot family, I wish there were no rudder pedals for the right seat... And, no yoke. That would also help the rear pa...

Now the question is. Have you ever ran out of fuel in flight? Have you glided it in for an emergency landing? Only to find out the airport you landed at doesn't sell fuel. Done that twice too. Happy Flying Rodney Sadly... yes! Was on a flight from somewhere in Arkansas to KMEM. About 20 miles short...

Thanks for that great write-up, Keith! I've been to Spruce Creek a few times, and it is a wonderful place! Here's a ForeFlight tip for offsets from map points... You can put "KDED/090/4" into the search box, and it will mark the point for you. But, even better though, you can use that same...
