VFR position reporting

Scott Post writes:

You do realize that a radio isn't required for VFR flight, right?

Yes, just as you surely realize that making position reports aids S&R
if you should happen to go down for any reason (if you have not
requested flight following from ATC). You do make position reports
when flying over long distances, don't you?

Surely you aren't planning to make position reports in your game?

I have already done so. That's what distinguishes simulation from
games.

You worry about VFR position reports yet you haven't gotten around to
learning how to use trim. You are playing a game that simulates flying.

I saw this article the other day and thought about you.

I know how to use trim.

As opposed to flying and behaving as if it were a game.

You didn't a week or so ago.

Some how your thought on my flying skills concern me not in the least.

Sorry

I've always known how it works. I did ask how pilots normally used it
to see how often they feel inclined to trim in real life.

I've known most of the basic principles of flight for many years.
It's the implementation and procedural details that I ask about.

He should get a simulated subscription to AOPA.

I can't believe that this idiot is so clueless. (Not Scott)

Would someone with a good book that covers about everything in today's flying,
PLEASE send it to him.

I'll even kick in to buy one, if it would stop all of these stupid questions.

A few years ago, when I was still in grad school, I picked up an old
Jeppesen private pilot textbook on eBay for $5. If Mxsmanic can't
afford that, then I am not sure how he feeds himself.

If we are talking about something that cheap, hell, I'll chip in too.
