Brent, it was a pleasure to "meet" you. I will keep my fingers crossed for fixing the problems you had/have. can not wait for Alex to post new fly-ins or for letting me do it. Cheers, AJ

Fun/challenging fly-in. VFR under 2700' ovc out of Van Nuys, vectors around traffic near KBUR, hand flying an ill-handling Mooney while constantly referring to the TAC chart to figure out where I was (I never use GPS or any live maps). It was cool to see Reece's (?) Piper just ahead and above as I got close to L65. I was a bit late to the party so I didn't get to chat with you guys on arrival but I hope to next time.

I will be creating all the posts this week end. You guys start coming up with flight suggestions!!!

I will do the same as soon as I have a few minutes and...a map on my screen . Then we pick what we like best and I will add the full itinerary to the scheduled events!

Thanks All, this is fun.

Ok, before I open the relative threads...here are a few ideas:

1) Inverted flight: Perris Valley/Van Nuys http://skyvector.com/?ll=34.01669644893 ... :A.K2.KVNY

2) KLAX/KHMT http://skyvector.com/?ll=33.82421747020 ... :A.K2.KHMT

3) KSAN/KNUC http://skyvector.com/?ll=32.88610018415 ... :A.K2.KNUC NOTE: I couldn't find the CTAF for KNUC. Docs indicate presence of Tower. Not 100% sure if PE controlls this ATP.

4) KPSP/19CL http://skyvector.com/?ll=34.28291654915 ... :A.K2.19CL

5) KSNA/0CA5 http://skyvector.com/?ll=33.39031624291 ... :A.K2.0CA5

6) KSNA/L35 http://skyvector.com/?ll=33.90647245507 ... V:A.K2.L35

Let's add more and select what we like!

FYI - KNUC is a military field (USN). Tower frequency is 126.75. My understanding of PE policy is that military fields are treated as non-towered fields with tower frequency used as CTAF.

Link to current A/FD is: http://aeronav.faa.gov/pdfs/sw_181_10JAN2013.pdf (check the caution note about missile bombardment in the vicinity!!)


I am working on a project to add frequencies and A/FD links to http://findflight.web44.net so I had these handy

Thanks Ken!

Your tool is really helpful in finding flights for the EAST COAST FLY IN!

Appreciate the feedback. Glad it is of some value. Let me know if you see any issues or have suggestions to enhance functionaltiy. It is still very much a "work in progress".

Alex, why don't you post the corresponding threads and we can discuss each fly-in in it's thread. What do you think?
Since we agree on the route , we will edit initial thread and we can also discuss things related to a particular one.

My favorite from your suggestions: Inverted flight: KLAX/KHMT KSNA/0CA5 KSNA/L35

When we decide on what we fly for each fly-in, we will check if there is a TEC route of course and we will have IFR and VFR plans ready so we can pick depending on the weather and preferences.

Boy, I am excited now ..


Ken, you r application is great, I sure love it, now it is like few applications at once.

Checking TEC routes, planning on Skyvector and filling on PE, fantastic.

When I have a chance, I will write down if I see any way to improve functionality, outstanding job, really.

Adding military fields frequencies will be great, they are just like non towered fields seen by PE.

I know that couple of military fields are controlled , I need to ask Keith.

I will make a new post on that.

Cheers, AJ

It's simple, if a field is military-only or "prior permission required", then it's non-towered on PE. If it's joint use (like March ARB or Yuma), then it's towered on PE.

AJ, I can do that.

I was waiting to have the flights selected first, but I guess I can open the threads now...

Keith thanks for the info.

EDIT: Threads created. We just need to select the flights!

COOL STUFF!
