Re: Additional Airport info for July 10 session (KRHV & KSQL

Thanks for the info. I always enjoy reading local knowledge bits.

But...what does "no turns more than 60 degrees bank in the pattern" have to do with noise abatement?

I would think that a turn with a bank angle of more than 60 degrees would be considered a "high performance" maneuver, by its ...

TEC - Tower Enroute Control, SBD to HRR

I am contemplating using Tower Enroute Control to fly SBD to HRR.

From my ground school days I remember that TEC was created EXACTLY for this kind of short flight through the very complex airspace of an area like LA. I believe TEC is considered a VFR route even though you are in contact with ATC ...

Re: Beta program status

Keith and Daddy O,

Thanks for the response. I need to learn patience, the system is a work in progress, after all. I am definately excited to find a Virtual ATC that is specific to my home area (SoCal) and look forward to doing some flying here. Mostly I fly MSFS, but I dabble with X-plane. I am ...
