So you don't know anything about flight planning apparently and not

I have no idea how you reached this conclusion, so I cannot comment.

You don't plan for a flight, YOU DON'T USE A FLIGHT PLANNER, you
already have shown you don't know how to plan for a flight

How much clearer can that be????

Yep, total disconnect from the real world. Good one Mx.

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.



I'm sorry to hear it if there's a health issue involved in not flying, and I'm
sincere in that.

The relative scale is preserved on the screen, although I don't actually

Go to http://www.dauntless-soft.com/produc...FlightPlanner/ and
will find 3 versions of a flight planner form in PDF.

There's no point in me filling out a form on paper, or even filling it out
online, as there's nowhere to send it.

I know what official flight plans are supposed to look like. I have no use for
them in simulation, though. I do, however, file online flight plans when I'm
flying online.

Flying solo in an aircraft that requires a crew is unsafe.

Not necessarily. If an aircraft can be flown by one person but the
manufacturer has not applied to have it certified for single-pilot flight, it
isn't unsafe, it's just illegal.

Flying anything without doing complete flight planning is unsafe.

Define "complete."

And both are illegal.

A flight plan need not be complete to be legal. Indeed, you don't have to file
anything at all for VFR in the U.S (usually). And how much planning you do is
up to you, as long as you don't seem negligent in the event of an accident.

Safety is a separate issue.

I try to simulate both, but again it depends on the circumstances and my mood.
Filling out paperwork is not a fun part of aviation for me.

writes:

That would be impossible as you have already said you don't use a flight
planner and you don't have to scale printed charts.

Neither is necessary for safe planning.

I'm not too happy about it, either. I haven't actually applied for a medical,
but I'm not optimistic. As long as the FAA continues to treat pilots like
astronauts, medicals will be a problem.

Gibbering nonsense that just shows again you haven't a clue about how to
do real flight planning.

If you use a map in crayon provided to you by a friend, you're not using a
certified source. If something happens on the flight, your failure to use a
certified source could be held against you by the FAA.

You've raved on and on time and again about how "safe" you are; "safer"
than real pilots who really do flight planning.

Safer than _some_ pilots who really do flight planning.

If the objective is to really simulate flying, then you need to do the
same flight planning you would do for real flight.

That depends on the part of flying that I wish to simulate. I simulate
planning to the extent that it affects safety, usually, but I don't try to
simulate any additional overhead that wouldn't be germane to that objective.

Indeed, one of the great advantages of simulation is not having to bother with
useless paperwork.

The choices are not just airways or direct to.

True, but airways are very frequently used. Not every pilot has an ax to
grind.

Then you are not doing flight planning.

Babble.

You print out the form, fill it out, usually in pencil, put it on your knee
board, carry it with you while you fly, and make entries on it while you fly.

The making entries while you fly part is one of the things the other person
was alluding to when he said the flight planning ends when the engine is
shut down.

Your idiotic comments just further prove you haven't the slightest clue
what the terms "flight planning" and "flight planner" mean.
