I wonder if 94 pounds of fuel will be enough for an hour flight.

class 26:
Theory theory and more theory. Yes that's right. I had to refresh airspaces, lowest usable flight level and more. We are pounding the pavement as my OTS is in about 2 weeks. I also did some sweatbox work; however, I need to really study their theory as I'm weak there, and I know it. If I'm weak there and I know it, clap my hands. Clap! Clap!

I wish Aviatife would tell you which aircraft to use, because especially if I want to do a quick job, I don't want to have to worry about getting the cargo just right in order to pass the initial test before getting in to the air.

So, vatsim class number 25 went very, very well. We worked in the sweatbox, and I must work on "say." So "say aircraft type" "say altitude" "say final cruising altitude." I also got in the network, and we cleared 2 planes successfully. Thank you to the person who developed the nvda add on to help me with my foot pedal. It worked well. I am very excited right now, and terrified. I'm sure the fear will go away the more experience I have.

Welcome to Flying Blind! We take off from Minneapolis then descend into and land at Denver with I think a -191 landing. I'll 0take it. Man alive that was fun. The descent and takeofff were beautiful.

This Friday was class number 21. I did well, however I always forget where I am when we switch up. I need to be looking at my notes. I also really need to work on not overthinking the situation the pilot is in. The solution and tools are in front of me. Now why can't I think about using them. I forget they are there. I know the information; I know what to do. Now, how to get rid of this blocker. Advice would be welcome here.

I'm now downloading my fly by wire traffic add on update. This will take a while. I really love this over AIG as it sounds awesome, and just works, especially when you have the api key from I can't remember where now.

I can't wait to get my desktop back, then I can fly again when I come back home.

Another positive: I'm also doing better on full route clearances. And reading them correctly. Note do not call DCT a vor, that means direct, not something odd like detective. Lol!

I also had the chance to play with a compass rose which looks like a circle marked in 360-degree increments. You place that over a map to know your varying of something. I can picture the direction approx. where somethgin is based on that baring. My homework is to practice saying VFR clearances both at FLL and TPA to myself for practice this week.

So class number 18 went quite well. Easy clearances then 2 or 3 harder ones where I had the chance to use sky vector. I really love that site. My teacher even launched nvda on his system to hear what I was seeing and confirmed something I was having trouble with and not reading correctly due to a mistake on my part.

Well class went well. More of the same. we added VFR traffic patterns. I'm also learning the difference between an APREQ and a simple conversation. I also did a full read-back of a route a bit smoother thanks to NVDA's add on called enhance phonetic speech set to a delay of 250MS.

@brion I do as well, however I always go back to my lovely 737. There is something about jet liners I love. They just feel so butter smooth in the sim.
