Americans should appreciate the freedom we have in flying. Flying outside of the US is a chore. In Morocco, I have had to file an international flight plan for a 9 nautical mile flight. Utterly stupid. International flight plans are not the simple flight plan we use here in the US either. You may not have noticed, but Morocco isn't the whole of the non-American world. The link, obviously, was disconnected. "The link"? The "Link" was to what you asked "What is?" too, in other words, QFE/QHN. You are commenting on something you may not have complete knowledge of. Yes. That's why normal newsgroup practice is to quote enough of the message to which you're replying to establish a context, and to put your replies after what you quote. Otherwise people don't know what you're talking about. QFE is what was being discussed. Glad to hear it. In my comment, Morocco was noted as the most stupid of the flight plan requirement made by many countries. My flight experience is not limited to that country. I know well that Morocco isn't the whole of the non-American world. Glad to hear that too. From here it looked remarkably like hasty generalisation. Nor is the UK, asshole. Who mentioned the UK? Sorry Richard, but (whilst "asshole" is uncalled for in our newsgroup) you did deserve a strong response to your rather terse post. I followed what he was talking about. The thread is crossposted to rec.aviation.misc, so he was talking about how lucky the yanks are and was giving an example of how difficult aviation can be in other parts of the world. For Beaudoin, please don't use bad language to insult people on our (uk) newsgroup. Whilst we don't mind the odd four-letter word in chit-chat, is it quite unacceptable to use them to insult people. The reaction can be worse than the reason you insulted them in the first place. Ben. -- ....And so as the little andrex puppy of time scampers onto the busy dual-carriage way of destiny, and the extra-strong meat vindaloo of fate confronts the toilet Out Of Order sign of eternity... I see it is time to end this post. |
