I've read that Class B airspaces are not happy to see GA traffic.


From my experience, Class B controllers are happy to service traffic that
behaves professionally, regardless of what part of the FARs they are
operating under. I have personally heard Class B controllers ball out Airline
Pilots for failing to pay proper attention to a call, and for failing to
comply with an instruction in a timely fashion (ie: after three or four
acknowledged requests).

I have also heard them treat pilots in trainer planes with respect and
gratitude.

The controller has a job to do, and he expects the planes in his airspace to
be monitoring his transmissions, and to follow his directions for procedures,
altitudes, and headings in a timely fashion. Anyone who complies is welcomed.
Even pilots who make a mistake are treated well and mildly corrected. But if
a controller has to repeat every instruction 3 or 4 times, he's going to
start getting very annoyed.

I am not advocating using sliderules at work (though, it can
be fun), but folks who started with them have a different
mind set when it comes to numbers, like a better understanding
of what constitutes significant figures and order of magnitudes...
a bit for the same reason glider pilots make better powered pilots
(ok, give me some credit for trying to bringing it back on
topic :-)

I assume you belong to the Oughtred Society for the preservation of

And of course the International Slide Rule Group?

to my great shame, no I do not belong (yet) to any
of these fine organizations. Thanks for the URLs!

I'm happy, but we just got the Slowdowner as "perfect" as I care... G


Took me three years to get to the point where I got every switch knob and
button working.

Next up will be the interior when I get rich and famous for the money.

Sounds like your toy isn't very realistic and definately does not

real flight.


It is much more similar than different.


Not even close. You have no idea having absolutely no actual flight
experience.

Heh heh, been through this song and dance before I decided he isn't worth
my time and efforts.

Dave, save your wisdom for those more deserving AND more appreciative.....

Both good and bad, unfortunately.

Because, as I have previously explained, I study. While neonates may
be constrained to learn only through direct experience and trial and
error, older human beings have the option of looking things up.

What, exactly, do you see on your GPS?


My coordinates, my heading and speed, and an arrow pointing to my
destination heading if I've entered one into the GPS.

Do you see, perhaps, an electrically depicted map?


No.

How is that you are able to follow a map and set of directions
written on a 2" LCD screen, and yet you can't do the same if it
is on paper?


See above. I don't use a map on the GPS.

Not in the Sim.


If you stop the simulator, the simulation is less accurate.
