Think of it this way, if you climb through the BUR Class C outer shelf...who is going to separate you from an inbound IFR jet into BUR? It's not going to be VNY tower.

Now that's putting a point on it!

Thanks!

Okay, *that* was awesome. A great look behind the curtain. Now I understand why you guys make all that money and need to retire early.

BTW, video rendered fine in HD, and full screen on my 27" iMac

Thanks for doing that. Would like to see some in-route stuff as well.

Keith is surprised at how well 2 pilots in the pattern manage their traffic and gets a surprise as to why. But I won't give it away

PE pilots, Last night I departed Van Nuys (KVNY) 16L for the west and was given approval for right turn. I got a wrist slap from the tower for "violating Class C airspace" after reporting altitude of 3500. I was under the impression that as long as I was in contact with the tower I would b...

Hi, A couple of questions about call signs on PE. 1. do pilots usually assign a different call sign for each aircraft they fly? (seems better for separating flights on PEaware if not in your own head, the downside is having it roll off the tongue easily from constant use) 2. do pilots use the same o...

Thanks for all the positive feedback and encouragement. It's been 30 years away from the mic, so trying to get back in the groove. A funny story: an airline pilot friend and said the most terrifying part of flying for him is making the "from the flight deck" announcements to the passengers...

Yesterday was my first time on PE (X-Plane) and while nervous, I got through it. I received gentle warnings about mistakes and a bit of education about flying out the Palm Springs TRSA. Of course, I was mortified, but remembered back to some of Keith's opening Powerpoint slides pointing out the educ...

Thank you, all. I got it. And right, I should have just said "controlled" instead of Class D but I though the dotted circle around a controlled airport was always Class D. Can you have a Class D without an airport? or a controlled airport that is not Delta?

Yesterday I had my first flight with PE with a short VFR jaunt from Riverside to Palm Springs on X-Plane. It's been decades since I was behind the yoke so I made some mistakes. The first one that was pointed out by my PE controller was that after being cleared for a left downwind departure, after ma...

This evening was my first time on PE after watching all the workshops on YouTube and laughing out loud at Keith's quips. The controllers were gentle albeit I left the pattern by flying over the airport for reaching the runway terminus, and crossing an active taxiway after landing. The workshops don'...
