Me and Orville had to count in our heads (one kill devil, two kill devil, three kill devil DANG it Wilbur will you shut the **** up I'm navigating here...) Well, it is easier to navigate when you're only going a couple of hundred feet........ -- Regards, Stan |

That's what I usually do. I use DUAT for weather, etc, & file with FSS on the phone. I often file a canned DVFR, & it's much easier to do that over the phone, get my squawk and a weather update at the same time. For IFR, I also prefer to file with a human. I have no quarrel with anyone who files over DUAT or DUATS, though, it's just a personal preference. I just wish I were still 40, though. :-) Me...I always use DUATS and then call 1-800 WXBRIEF and ask them what it meant.
