Wouldn't that require giving up control from time to time?

I'm not interested in a relationship, I'm interested in aviation.-

Someday evidence of either may be presented.

He can have the best of both worlds. Use the FMC to guide the plane
under VFR (so he's not distracted by that pesky simulated ATC voice),
on a long flight between say....LGA and LAX. Then he has a nice four
hours or so to be "distracted."

Of course, the "beautiful woman" that is his distraction is probably a
Playboy magazine anyway g

If you're IMC, you won't be maintaining separation with

responsible for the separation.

That's why I said "you need to be on the radio to maintain separation with
ATC."

Your semantics is horrible. You won't be maintaining separation
with ATC or any other plane in IMC. It is *ATC's* responsibility for
that in IMC. Otherwise, the pilot would use *visual* separation, which
wouldn't be the case in IMC, and as the poster had mentioned, was in
clouds.

Plus, ATC is on the ground, so you would always be and
maintaining separation from them.

Thank the gods. But she has a point. If you're going to be that
attuned to a game over your significant other, you have some serious
social problems.

I don't have a significant other, so the issue does not arise.

It shows.

You don't know about their lives together to be able to come to
the assumption that he is doing so.

I haven't assumed that he is doing so; but neither do I take for granted that
he is not.

Yet you imply that he could be faking it. Bit of hypocrisy
there. But I digress; I remember who I am responding to.

I honestly don't think you could handle a relationship.

I don't know. But since I'm not interested in one, it doesn't matter. I
doubt that I could handle skiing or scuba diving, either, but I'm not
interested in those, so it doesn't matter.

Yes, you are interested in aviation, but once again, with the attitude you
have and the misguided assumptions you have about things in aviation,
You either a) have a long way to go and a lot to unlearn before you can
even learn anything in aviation, or b) you couldn't handle aviation.

With a girl in a bikini in the right seat, you'd be far better off with me in
the left seat than with some of the macho men here. It amazes me that
so-called pilots are so quick to compromise safety.

Do us a favour. Fly Hooters Air and let's see how you fare.

That was worth a chuckle.

You have no idea what's involved in flying a real airplane, let alone the
work load involved in the task.

Stick with playing your game, or go get a real life.

There's no FMC in the Baron, and I normally don't fly VFR in the big iron.

What do I care? Read-and-parse. English 1. I said to use the FMC
(ok. in a plane that has one, *obviously*) to guide under VFR (hell,
guide it under IFR for all I care, unless you are worried about a
simulated FSDO appearing on your doorstep) for a long flight (.
Imagine the distractor is a stewardess and you want to join the
simulated mile high club (hmmmmm...interesting fantasy in there
somewhere...). (obvious ad hominem) However, in your case you don't
even need to use the FMC or have a long flight; you'd be finished with
any distraction before tower handed you off to departure after
takeoff.


BTW: MY significant other gets royally PO'd if I am not significantly
distracted enough when I am WORKING at home, let alone playing a
stupid flight simulator.

If you actually fly that way, perhaps your epitaph could say "He was
distracted."

I never said anything about distractions while flying. I was implying
that a [significant other/boyfriend/girlfriend/hell-it-could-be-a-goat-
for-all-I-know] is going to get ****ed off at you if you choose a
computer over the distraction; *regardless* of what you are doing on
the computer at the time of the distraction.

Even in a simulated strip joint it doesn't count!

If you're new to the group, Mxs doesn't fly anything except a computer. He
has never flown, and in fact by his own admission is afraid to fly.- (FMC in
a Baron?- VFR in a heavy?)

He talks a big game, but is really clueless about flying. You should see his
stuff on breast feeding.

I haven't been around this newsgroup very long, but concluded early on
that MX has no real airplane cockpit experience, and now I'm thinking
he is not current with women, either. (Uh, would most agee it takes
more than three landings to a full stop before he should carry a
female passenger?)
