I hope she is well paid.

Or, in other words, you don't use a flight planner.

No, I don't. So what?

Then you would never make it in the real world. The above is not all
there is to flight planning.

In simulation, you plan as much or as little as you want. How much I plan
depends on my mood and how much time I have. There's a trade-off between
realism and the effort required to achieve it.

Just a very non-constructive attitude that prevents him from acheiving any
in-depth understanding of aviation, or probably much else.

Actually just a refusal to submit to people who want to believe themselves
superior.

Perhaps it's just his fear of airplanes and flying that prevent him from going
any further...

But I don't have a fear of airplanes. It's more a question of money and time,
and for actually being a pilot, health.

And how many hours do you have on type ?

On the Cessna 152? Not many; I don't log my hours, so I'm not sure.

It's fun sometimes when you want to "rough it" like poor PPLs have to do, but
in simulation you have a very wide choice of aircraft, so there's no reason to
fly only the small stuff.

My 152 has no autopilot, and is missing some other things that I like, so
there's a limit to how much I can fly around in it before I long for something
a bit more sophisticated. It's good only for very short trips.

Just to be clear with you, I did not, as you believe, criticize your initial
response simply "because it was you" and everyone wants to pick on you.

Right.

Actually, most people don't want to pick on me, but those who do are unable to
control themselves.

Despite this knowledge, I chose to
respond as someone was writing for advice, and I felt the response you gave
was uninformed, incomplete and a disservice to the contributor who asked the
question, and who may not know that you don’t know anything of what you speak.

I could have given any response, and you would have taken issue with it.

I've previously cut and pasted text from undeniably reliable sources in posts
of my own to this newsgroup, just to see what happens, and invariably the
treehouse club feels obliged to take issue with them, even though I'm
repeating something word for word from another source, one before which they'd
readily genuflect had the post been under the original source's name (people
who are mean towards those whom they consider inferior also tend to be
exceedingly obsequious towards those whom they consider superior). This proved
that they were attacking the messenger, not the message, despite all their
claims to the contrary.

I am satisfied you have once again demonstrated your staggering ignorance of
"the way things work" in a very large number of posts in this thread, as well
as your wholesale intellectual dishonesty in an unending stream of
self-contradictions and passive-aggressive attacks. I am truly not interested
in the type of dead-end, semantic quagmire that discourse with you always
entails, and further it is a huge disservice to the group, to whom I offer my
apology. As stated, I only got involved this time because of the uninformed
advice you offered another, as if you knew something, and with that I am going
to take your excellent advice and stop wasting my time.

You've spent a lot of time criticizing me, and very little addressing the OP's
question, which rather belies your claim.

Again, to RAP, my apology. I’ll try not to let it happen again.

It will happen again. It always does. I know the pattern well.

Perhaps if this group were less a battle of egos among a small group of
testosterone-soaked males, and more a discussion of a love of aviation, the
noise level would be lower. But this phenomenon exists in just about every
discussion venue I've ever seen, so I'm not optimistic.

You cannot plan for things you don't know about.

Exactly but the planning doesn't stop.... I speak from the real
world....

Nope. I do it all myself. Obviously you know nothing about flight
planning or you wouldn't have come up with a response like this.

So you don't know anything about flight planning apparently and not
qualified to give pilots advice on routing are you?

So do you at least use real, printed to the proper scale, TAC's, Sectionals,
and WAC's?

And if you did us a flight planner, you would understand why your babbling
about looking up navaid frequencies is babble.
