"Robert M. Gary" wrote in message oups.com... The FAA won't allow me to file /G because my GPS is not IFR (I know Steven has some disagreements with this) so its the next best thing for me. Who? Me? I have no disagreement with that. |

"Ron Natalie" wrote in message m... The controller only sees the first 24 characters. The amount of characters displayed on a flight progress strip depends on whether it's a terminal or enroute strip. In each case the full remark is available via a flight plan readout. My favorite is still "Brian donor on board." How did Brian feel about that? |

I was taught the same thing about "VFR GPS on board". The reasoning was
that if things started going bad it was a tool they knew you had without having to ask. -- Chris Ehlbeck, PP-ASEL "It's a license to learn, have fun and buy really expensive hamburgers." "Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message ink.net... wrote in message oups.com... I put in the remarks section when applicable: 1. This is an "Angel Flight" positioning flight. (a leg NOT carrying the patient). 2. VFR GPS on board. For what purpose? |

How about a cell phone number? Of course, on international flights,
"Notify Customs." About 2300 PIC hours ago I had put in "New IFR Rating". |

The point is that Angel Flights (whether carrying the patient, going to
pick one up, or returning from dropping one off) are still treated with a slightly higher priority and given more direct routing. |

1. This is an "Angel Flight" positioning flight. (a leg NOT carrying
the patient). 2. VFR GPS on board. For what purpose? ********************************** 1. Because Angel Flights get slightly higher priority in routing if needed and 2. To give the controller information about the flight that might help in an emergency. |

Angel Flight is not given priority handling by ATC. Angel Flight is properly identified by use of the Angel Flight call sign when carrying a patient or going to pick one up, but not when returning from dropping one off. |

wrote in message ups.com... 1. Because Angel Flights get slightly higher priority in routing if needed and Lifeguard is given priority handling by ATC, Angel Flight is not. 2. To give the controller information about the flight that might help in an emergency. How would knowing a VFR GPS was aboard help the controller in an emergency? |
