Newb questions: freq overlap; COM1 & COM2; MTR/MOAs.

Hey all, I'm having a blast on PE, and I'm learning to relax a bit more. I think I need to spend more time just monitoring tower frequencies to get used to the pace of speech. In the meantime, I have more newbish questions; I hope this is the right place for them. 1. I was checking the ATIS at San L...

Re: Question about Apch/Dep service

Thanks for your reply. Yep, I'd read here on these forums that I should not assume anyone had seen my filed VFR flight plan. I filed it just because I wanted to see my flight on peaware, and if it's okay, I'd like to keep doing that. It's interesting to see my actual route as opposed to the route I ...

Re: Newb report: Exhilarating! And nerve-racking. :)

Yep, I plan to do the ratings. I've already done many practice patterns around KSNA while flying offline, and I've practiced the V-2 flight a couple times.

Re: Question about Apch/Dep service

Keith, I had a (tangentially) related question. I filed a VFR flight plan to depart San Luis and fly VFR south to Oceano County field (which I kept mistakenly calling Oceano City, lol). The San Luis tower gave me clearance to take off and depart south flying VFR. Once I was clear of the delta airspa...

Newb report: Exhilarating! And nerve-racking. :)

So I finally worked up the courage to try PE, and I'm glad I did. By way of introduction, I'm not a RL pilot; I just sim, although I have been a passenger in GA aircraft a few times. Anyway, I followed the site's suggestion and started at Oceano County field. I started with a radio check, then a pat...
