Critique my V3 flight?
Last night I did my V3 flight.. I tried to time-lapse and/or cut out the long stretches of 'nothing'.. Would appreciate any (gentle) critique's of what I can improve on the radio.
Don't laugh at my disaster of a final base-turn into Torrence... you'd be laughing even harder if I left in the touch-down where I blew a tire. (I'm relieved the tower thought it was funny). Long day, I guess. =)

Don't say "With you" when checking on. They're just useless extra words that don't mean anything. "Baron 788B, level 4500".

Brian,
Just watched your video. For V3 your radio work was pretty darn good. My only question is why are you flying VFR at night?

I think the X-Plane scenery looks terrible during the day.. It makes me feel like I'm flying in a cartoon.Vincent Meier wrote:Brian,

At night it actually looks semi-realistic. =)
Sure wish there was some good photo-realitic scenery of SoCal for X-Plane. =(

Canada's different, I believe, I think a night rating is required of some sort. I presume, then, that it's rare to blend primary training and night flying, perhaps?
Re: Critique my V3 flight?
In Sweden, there is an extra five hours of training required for a VFR night qualification. Almost a necessity here, since the sun sets already at 3:30pm in the winter time!

I believe the rule in Canada is 1/2 hour before sunset and a 1/2 an hour after sunrise - something to that effect for daytime VFR.
