MORAs and MSAs my friend

"Vectors for V23" describes the heading you were given in the clearance. Unless you were explicitly instructed in the clearance or by the controller to intercept and join V23, you can't deviate from the 175 heading. "As filed" just means that the rest of your route, after V23, is...

The GPS database (popup rxpGNS430W) didn't have the PEBLE6, it had PEBLE4 so I had to program each waypoint manually . I may be confusing different issues, but isn't this actually illegal? Probably shouldn't be answering because I'm not 100% certain, but I'm pretty sure that only applies to RNAV pr...

Huh, guess I'm the minority then. I don't have a problem with ATC being thorough and conscientious, but if pilots are constantly having to go through multiple transmissions to deliver a satisfactory readback, that's a danger in and of itself (the way I view it at least).

Glitter Gulch is payware, but it's an excellent rendition of LAS. MisterX6 ...

Kyle, I'm actually not so sure about Gizmo - that was located at the very end of the log, right before XP shut down. Unless it was a XP crash, I doubt it was the cause. It's hard to troubleshoot from a Beta without removing all the plugins, so I would honestly just go back to .36 and wait for the of...
