Nope, I just wanted confirmation all the people claiming AP on the Katheryn's report comments are clueless or too lazy to check the flight track. The ground track does look straight enough to be autopilot but the VS doesn't look that way. Anyway if the guy pulled the airplane out of a dive...

A lot of people are claiming he flew the AP all the way down. Does this look like the descent profile of an airplane on autopilot? Doesn't look like it to me.

I wonder if he was able to prove the airplane was airworthy. It seems he got off pretty easy. Or is this still being investigated and possibly not the final outcome?

What I meant was they don't give the information needed by ATC in one call. So ATC has to say what type, where you going, etc etc...

Does anyone own a Ridge Wallet? A hard case wallet seems like a terrible idea.

I've been using this (or older versions) since 2007, for personal stuff. Crappy hardware w/ software raid has yet to let me down. https://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-debian-10-buster-apache-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3-1/ For Windows, XAMPP is a great web server, not sure about the email...

I wasn't much into glass, mostly due to rental price. Give it some time, there are many benefits. You absolutely should take a training course. It will save you a ton of money. I can't imagine why a CFI wouldn't suggest doing so or mention that nobody does.

I put Danger Zone (Kenny Loggins) on repeat all day.

House was less accurate than Flight lol. Even Hugh Laurie thought it was too over the top, but it was popular so they kept pushing it.

Top comment - This is why we have standard phraseology. Controller couldn’t give him a deviation, because he knew it was his fault. I do not feel this controller is at fault for anything. I think the pilot needs some more training and that tower handled it well. Am I wrong for feeling that way?

Just don't be like half the people on youtube and require 6 radio calls to get established.

I hear "report over the powerplant". It's usually my approach coming in from over the ocean and contacting them 10 miles out when they tell me to report over the powerplant. Having said that and re-reading me original post I was definitely over exaggerating lol. Sorry.

Demo crews are prepping the smokestack for demolition in 2021. The skyline is going to look weird without it. Anyone else hate this idea? ATC is always using it, I don't think I've ever flown without hearing it referenced at least once. I wonder how much of a change it will be for them. It...

I haven't flown a real airplane in almost a year. I have some electronic courses to keep my ground sharp. Out of desperation to 'fly' something that isn't remote controlled, I decided to try FS2020 again. I originally downloaded it with a $1 game pass for one month. That expired so I had to pay...

I frequently travel to 2021. It's not much better.
