Why don't voice radio communications use FM?

If you're honestly interested in learning, I think the best book I could recommend is the FAA's publication "Instrument Flying Handbook." Some may disagree with me, but I think it's an excellent text. I bought mine years ago from the Government Printing Office, but I notice that it can now be downloaded in PDF format. http://www.faa.gov/library/manuals/a...ying_handbook/ Thanks. I had previously downloaded other stuff but I was not aware of this. There's really only one way to find out for sure. You might surprise yourself. Challenging one's preconceptions often does that. Maybe. If I join the idle rich one day I might try it. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

You never know what someone is on USENET. People who call MSFS a game haunt mostly USENET. When I talk to real pilots they acknowledge that it's a simulator much more than it's a "game," even if it obviously isn't real life. If they truly want a game, there are other programs that fit the bill much more accurately than MSFS. I also know quite a few non-pilots who find MSFS to be a waste of time, precisely because it's not a game to them. A few days I spent an hour explaining to someone just how to get in the air and find an airport to land with instruments (and MSFS makes this all very easy, especially if you crank down the realism). I'm not sure that he saw much game value in this, but his daughter has developed a fascination with the simulator and he wanted to explain it to her. Maybe she's a future pilot. Indeed, MSFS is probably motivating a significant number of people into flying for real every day, so I wouldn't knock it too quickly. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

... Right now I keep my Internet access and I sometimes fly for hours each day. I suspect that you need to increase your sim flying time and decrease your USENET posting time... |

I have to wonder why you would even post to this group... Apparently, it is just so that you can hear your own self talk... Frankly, I'm giving up on you... Go back to your sim group and talk to them about your problems... I suspect they'll be a lot more understanding of you than we will ever be... I can't decide if you're a troll or just clueless... If a troll, you're one of the more polite trolls that I've encountered on USENET, so that leads me to believe that you're just clueless... A lot of the regulars here have tried to give you a clue, but it's just not working on you... Feel free to talk to yourself... Followups set appropriately... bitch-slap plonk |

... And to think I almost purchased one of these (relatively low time and in good shape) plus a brand new spare engine still in the can less than 10 years ago for about the same price I paid for the Debonair. THAT would have been a *good* investment! Calculate the hours (or perhaps distances) that you've flown in the last 10 years and see how much fuel you would have used in the L-39... It might be interesting to see how the numbers work out once you factor that in... Might as well factor in the cost of annual inspections... Surely they are more expensive than the Deb, right? Also, I wonder what the difference in the insurance would be each year.... Personally, I have a bit of trouble justifying something that burns 130 gph on it's *economical* setting... |

Peter,
He's already there, too. Is he as dumb there as he is here? -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Mxsmanic,
Because of the way a compass is mounted, it will briefly tend to continue moving after a turn. Yes. So? -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Mxsmanic,
Maybe. If I join the idle rich one day I might try it. Listen. Many people here have tried to tell you they are not "the idle rich". Quit spouting utter BS. What are you trying to achieve? -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |
