Thanks Anthony, Just so you know, "god-like powers" was not intended to be any kind of a jab. I t was only a description within the context of trying to understand what authority do controllers. Excellent explanation; however, it did not address the specifics of the OP. Perhaps I should ha...

Calvin, I agree 100% but let's not forget that between the Lower "Number" and the Higher "Number", there is still room for a lots of fun and that is great, don't you agree? ;) :D Yes, I agree 100% We should set up the "The Old(?) Gimpy Student Flight Club" fly-in one d...

... Calvin, I think what the controller was getting at, was that I should have planned my flight better and checked for restrictions. Which in most cases I would have. Being that I was practicing for the I-9, I thought I would just say "unable". Let it be known that I did not state in the...

Asked this same question before I did mine: http://forums.pilotedge.net/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=2694. ...EDIT: Just looked up the KIMMO2. The notes say its only for non-turbojet aircraft (except for the Palmdale transition, landing SMO). 501s and 510s are turbojet aircraft, they're just slow... I ...

Thank you very much! You saved me a lot of leg, er, finger work. Thumbs up!

Ok Mike... it's a deal! I needed someone to give me a swift kick in the rump! Thanks!
