I can see him losing a GPS signal and falling on his ass out of the office
chair while talking to simulated ATC |

I had the same thing occur to both units just before an IFR departure
earlier this week as well- perhaps the GPS failure was pretty widespread. Rebooted both and they came up no problem. |

His only contact with the real world is sitting in front of computer making
airplane sounds and talking to fake ATC. What does he know about flying, let alone the real world? |

Do some googling on past threads, or stick around for a couple days. The hostility is well earned, and deserved. If you are talking about MXSMANIC, he is a self-proclaimed expert on EVERYTHING from flying air transport aircraft to breast feeding. (on their newsgroup) If you don't believe that one, go to the group and poke around and ask questions and google. He should be in a Psycho ward, and on some strong medication. Instead, he trolls here,and elsewhere, ****ing off everyone with arguments, that when proven to be incorrect, he dismisses as incorrect, and the poster irrelevant. If you don't want to be quickly classified with him, I would suggest you not stick up for him. You too, will tire of him in a hurry, and wonder why you ever thought he deserved the benefit of the doubt. -- Jim in NC |

We were really never that close, but there was a time he stopped "moving" in my windshield, so I opted to turn towards where he'd been (behind him) and keep a close eye as we past above and behind him. I'm terrible at determining distance plane-to-plane. We were close enough to get my attention, but never so close that I felt like there was a real problem (of course I'm just the student here ). As for the "hostility", please don't judge this group by a few posts! These guys have helped me immensly in the years I've been lurking here. Great guys who go out of their way to help (and even give out free beer a few days prior to Oshkosh (and even some during)). Hang around here a while. It's a great place to be. there are just a few posters who like to cause problems and have more than worn out their welcome with some folks (ok...most folks). jf |

oups.com... We picked up our radial (352 FROM SYI, i think), and headed for MQY. The trip back was pretty cool. I opted to fly the VOR all the way into SYI, I'm surprised to see that primary students are still flying VOR radials. I thought that had gone the way of ADFs and light beacons, but I guess not. Jay, If they took my OBS out of my plane, I'd probably quit flying! I don't know why, but VOR and NDB type navigation has always been "fun" for me. I love using the chart to triangulate my position and (like I said in the blog), I've even figured out several "original" ways to use VOR's to figure out where I am. Of course, I always found out later that my "original" ideas were usually 50 years old and put out of use by GPS (or even DME! ). Call me a geek, but I just think the whole radio navigation game is a lot of fun. Don't get me wrong. The day I can afford one of those fancy dancy moving map panels....I just might get one.....but I still want my steam OBS jf |
