Re: Equipment suffix

Turns out having the proper suffix code helps with asking for IFR clearance...no changes to my plan as filed this time.

Just had a pretty decent flight with only minor mistakes...until I taxied down the wrong taxiway after landing. :facepalm:

Re: Equipment suffix

The RNAV stuff was confusing me, been reading more sine I posted and I think i have it now.

My Cessna has a GNS430 so it can be /G but I plan on flying by VOR/DME so I will use /A

..and now I know how to add to flight plan.

Perfect..thanks!

Equipment suffix

I just tried a simple IFR flight plan but got asked about my equipment suffix? This is for the Carenado Stationair, would also like the same fro the Carenado King Air. I looked around and the variables are daunting, I think I have but I am sure I don't. Also how do I include the suffix when filing a...

Re: Am I in the penalty box? Newbie with some questions...

Thanks for all the information... To be honest I have been scouring all over the interweebs for all kinds of info, found many sites...the best one I did find early on was is Skyvector of course. My biggest issue is the torrent of information available and the sense of (something I heard from Chris) ...

Re: Am I in the penalty box? Newbie with some questions...

Ok, new questions...two mistakes on my last flight. I missed setting my Altimeter :facepalm: Also, after taking off from KSNA VFR North from 20L I had DEP indicate that I need to start to the assigned heading after I fly through 500AGL and not the 1000AGL I thought it was. Where do I find pattern he...

Re: Am I in the penalty box? Newbie with some questions...

Thank you Peter...the timing was right after I turned away from the KRAL airspace so I assumed I messed up and got booted. Nice to know I didn't cause too much of an issue, Its important to get this right. I was having real difficulty seeing the runways, just installed enhanced runways and now they ...

Am I in the penalty box? Newbie with some questions...

To start, I was inspired to get back into flight sims from watching the "On Pilot Edge with Dad" video Chris aka helipilot made. My Dad loves aviation and this winter was really getting to him. I was looking for a way to spend more time with him doing something we both love. Up until now I...
