What part of "maintaining our altitude" sounds like "descending" to
you?



The part that is combined with rising air.


I'm new here and junk. I've read a boatload of these posts and I've
started to empathize with you. Why are these people calling you names?
Jeesh, they're just mean.

Except that I run into posts like this and go, "ah, I see."

Rising air and maintaining altitude does not decsending make. Bringing
your altitude closer to the ground makes a decsent. You can't maintain
altitude and decsend at the same time. I think that's one of the
questions in the written. Or it's in some FAR. They'll suspend your
cert for 5 years if you decsend whilst maintaining altitude.

Do yourself a big favor. Get out there and spend the $50-60 and get an
intro flight. Take some damn lessons. Hell, even get a CFI just to get
out there and do some of this. You'll see how vastly different it is
from MS's Flight sim.

Erik,

It's all in the definitions - in this case of the word "descending". And MX
is a master at shifting definitions in mid-discussion to evade his many
mistakes.

If you have read MS threads, I'm sure you realize you'r falling into the
same trap many of us have fallen into: MX does not at all want to learn. He
wants to make trouble here. He is deadly afraid of flying. Yet you still
take him seriously.

What's really sad is I subscribed to this yesterday. I started
reading through posts and empathizing with the poor *******.

It took about 12 minutes of reading and some replies to lose that
empathy.

I still like to pretend I have faith in people
