    Winds 22004KT favoring runway 11

    How do you judge VMC?

A good tool to get a good idea of cloud bases and tops is a Skew T Chart or sometimes referred to as a ruc sounding chart. It plots the temperature and dewpoint of a specific area by altitude. When the...

    QT Halos. What am I doing wrong?

    Get yourself a pair of custom molded ear pieces for your heat set. They are more comfortable and attenuate noise better than the foam plugs. You can get them made by any audiologist.

    Anything new in headsets?

    I went to an audiologist and had custom ear pieces made for my Clarity Aloft headset, they wash easily and don’t have to be replaced. I think I paid 75 for the molds and both ear pieces.Been flying with the CA’s for over 7 years and will never go back to over the ear style.

    Chicago Control Tower

    Your not going to get up to ORD's tower unless you know someone up there. There are many towers around the local area that will let you go for a tour. Tracon will also be glad to show you around and on occasion will do an operation raincheck where you get to plug in with a controller.
