AIM 4-3-14 (c): A pilot who has just landed should not change from the tower frequency to the ground control frequency until directed to do so by the controller I would ask your CFI if he/she is familiar with that clause of the AIM. Here's the likely reply, "hmm...I didn't know that was there. ...

This left me VERY high and I had to dive down with all my spoilers and gear down for drag You can say "unable" on a crossing restriction if it wasn't issued in a timely fashion. No need to perform unnatural acts. Regarding 19L vs 19R, one of the drawbacks with a fictional VA is that the r...

Amazing!

I'm not too familiar with G-1000, are those COM1/2 mic and RX lit buttons a feature of the real stack? Just curious.

https://assets.pilotedge.net/events/light_up_ski_country.png Come and join us up in the high country to make the most of the winter weather. This Euro-friendly event features two towered airports (ASE and EGE) with 3 non-towered airports (TEX, HDN and GUC). Feel free to participate in the aircraft ...

You're welcome. Just a tip, I would make sure the GPS backs up what I've read and interpreted from the plate rather than assuming the GPS is good to go. That is especially true in the simulator with non-approved setups. All of that said, it's definitely rare for an approach plate not to have holding...

That hold is associated with the HILPT for the VOR-A. There are no published holds at OCN on the low enroute chart. If you reach your clearance limit and no further instructions are received, you would hold on the current course, right turns, 1 min legs. Reference: https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/pu...

Scott, I think you're addressing the question of which freq to use at fields which don't have a published CTAF. The first post is actually asking if we can standardize on ONE CTAF freq for all non-towered airports as a PE-wide rule. I can't think of a good reason, or any real benefit, to ignoring th...

It's a rite of passage to miss events because of Zulu time conversions. I've seen it happen countless times in the past 15 years between PE and before that on VATSIM. Typically it'll happen once, then you'll be on the lookout for it. Any time you see a zulu time which is early morning, that should r...

The latter.

We have a policy of not having drones fly in airspace where communication would be required with ATC. The notion of ATC having to work traffic around a NORDO aircraft doing pattern work is not a path that I am comfortable with. I would suggest organizing a pattern party at a non-towered airport.
