Point me to that reg, please.

it's in 61

He doesn't know what that is, bertie.

Part 61 isn't included in MSFS.

Of course. I haven't got into tearing this one up yet. So many k00ks...

Before XM weather and the kind, you had to tediously
transcribe information from airborne FSS weather breifings, HIWAS,
etc. onto a map or your head or whatever to determine where adverse
weather was. Now all the busy work is removed, so all you have to do
is look at the screen and it's all there. The flying is all the same.
Your weather avoidance piloting techniques are exactly the same. It's
just that information you use comes to you more efficiently.

It is that, and more.

When you can see the weather actually developing and changing ahead on
your route of flight, in nearly real-time, your understanding of the
weather is increased a hundred-fold over what is possible with a
pre-flight weather briefing.

Your undrstanding of weather is near zilch.

Before, we had to "paint the picture" in our heads, based on old,
static, possibly hours-old information -- and HOPE that it hadn't
changed from predicted.

Now, we know. It's that easy.

No it isn't, fjukkwit.

Completely. XM weather gives you a weather picture that is
absolutely unparalleled in GA aircraft. Before we had it, we would
have stayed in Pensacola. After we had it, the flight from
Pensacola to St. Pete was completely routine.

Jay, you need some remedial weather analysis and flight planning
training. I've never had XM weather (OK, one flight with a friend
with a 496) and get along fine without it.

I'm glad for that, Matt -- but this is not the conclusion Mary and I
have made.


It's becasue you're an idio. But then , so is Matt.

Your son didn't go with you? did you make him stay home and tend the
hotel, or did he just take all the family pictures?

Nope, Joe was in Spain for two weeks, hitting on the chicks and
supposedly learning something about the country...

;-)

By all reports, he had a great time. (And he took EIGHTEEN HUNDRED
pictures! Like, one every minute while he was there, for criminy's
sake...)

Good to know he took his guide's advice about not looking like a typical
american tourist. He looked like a typical japanese tourist instead.

Flying VFR into marginal weather without the ability to climb into the
murk and call the nice folks on the dark room is really, really,
gambling with your life and those who are with you...

I like you, Denny, but you're stating the obvious. Flying through "marginal
VFR" when good weather is known to be ahead is not the same as flying in
"marginal weather". If you're reading that I was simply flying through
"marginal weather" by using XM, you are misreading my post.

Every once in a while you say something that makes me think, "Ok, this
guy might get it."

And then this...

Weather? Easy?

Well, of course it is.

Jay also believes that global warming is BS since it's been real cold
this winter!

Your overall tone and general idiocy as evidenced by mountains of posts
where you dismiss good info over and over paint a picture of an ignorant
pilot who misses the big picture in every way.

and when I say ignorant, I mean it in the purest sense of the word.

I think you're trying too hard to be a part of the Bertie/Dudly
dip**** duo. Either that, or you just plain can't read.

He never not once said he relies solely on his XM weather picture to
make weather related decisions.

Two weeks and only 1800 pictures?

My daughter shoots 700-800 frames in three hours at the zoo.

Clearly she has more time on her hands than I do!

I alot 60 seconds to open, evaluate, enhance, crop and save/discard each
photo. That's something like 13+ hours to save those zoo pictures...

See her best work he

Cool! Thanks.

Wheras you couldn't make a weather related decision to come in out of
the rain.
